Some Kind of Hate (2015) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Moira targets people based on two different motivations. First, she attacks those who wronged Lincoln by bullying him, using his suppressed anger as her power source. Second, and more importantly, she seeks revenge against those responsible for her own death - specifically Christine, who orchestrated Moira's murder, along with Krauss and Iverson who were part of the cover-up. Her vengeance is indiscriminate because she was consumed by cruelty in life and seeks retribution from all who contributed to her suffering.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes show Lincoln's growing anger toward his bullies, which directly feeds Moira's strength.

Lincoln's suppressed anger serves as the catalyst that awakens and empowers Moira's spirit. When Lincoln arrives at Mind's Eye Academy, his bottled-up rage from years of bullying creates a spiritual connection to Moira, who is a vengeful ghost fueled by similar emotions. His anger essentially gives Moira the energy she needs to manifest and carry out her violent revenge campaign against the camp's inhabitants.

Foreshadowing: The story establishes early that Lincoln struggles with controlling his emotions about being bullied.

Christine was the one who orchestrated Moira's death, though the exact method is not detailed in the summary. During the confrontation, Moira challenges Christine about the lies surrounding her death, and the truth emerges that Christine was directly responsible. Both Krauss and Iverson were oblivious participants in the cover-up that followed, keeping Christine's involvement hidden. This revelation is what drives Christine's desperation and eventual accidental self-death during the confrontation with Moira.

Foreshadowing: Christine's nervous behavior and the tense moments when Moira first appears hint at her hidden guilt.

Kaitlin feels guilt because she previously bullied Lincoln before arriving at the reform camp. When she discovers that Lincoln is now a camper at the same facility where she was once an aggressor, she is consumed by remorse. This revelation forces her to confront her past actions and ultimately drives her to help Lincoln, eventually confessing her love for him as a form of emotional redemption.

Foreshadowing: Early scenes mention Kaitlin as a fellow camper, with the summary noting she was 'once an aggressor' before developing feelings for Lincoln.

Lincoln sacrifices himself by setting his own body on fire because Moira is gaining the upper hand in the confrontation and is about to kill Kaitlin. He uses his own life as a final desperate attempt to destroy the malevolent spirit that is consuming everyone at the camp. His act of self-immolation is meant to eradicate Moira's presence by using the supernatural energy she has drawn from his anger against her.

Foreshadowing: Lincoln has been struggling with revenge fantasies throughout the film, and his willingness to use extreme violence against his tormentors foreshadows his ultimate sacrifice.

Moira's appearance is triggered by Lincoln's arrival at Mind's Eye Academy. His suppressed anger and trauma from years of bullying create a spiritual resonance with Moira's vengeful spirit. The New Age environment of the reform camp, with its focus on emotional release and unconventional methods, apparently provides the perfect conditions for her to manifest. Lincoln's emotional state essentially acts as a beacon that awakens her.

Foreshadowing: The camp's New Age disciplinary methods under Jack Iverson create an atmosphere conducive to spiritual phenomena.

The ending reveals that a young girl's desperate wish for revenge against her tormentors inadvertently conjures Moira's spirit, suggesting the cycle of violence and supernatural vengeance will repeat. This creates a bleak, cyclical narrative where the trauma and cruelty that created Moira continue to spawn new versions of her terror. The implication is that as long as bullying and the desire for revenge exist, Moira's malevolence will find new hosts and new victims.

Foreshadowing: The entire film establishes that Moira feeds on anger and revenge, making her return inevitable whenever these emotions surface.

Moira targets these specific individuals because they were all complicit in the circumstances surrounding her death or contributed to the cruelty that led to it. Iverson, as the camp's leader, was part of the cover-up after Moira's death. Willie and Derek were likely either bullies who tormented Moira in life or participants in the events that led to her death. Moira's revenge is directed at anyone who wronged her, making the camp's population vulnerable regardless of their specific role.

Foreshadowing: The timeline shows Moira's 'wrath is indiscriminate' and targets those who wronged her in life.

After Lincoln's sacrifice by self-immolation, Kaitlin's grief transforms into fierce rage. This emotional transformation apparently gives her the strength to confront Moira directly in a climactic battle. While the exact method is not detailed in the summary, the result is that Kaitlin successfully destroys Moira, bringing an end to the supernatural threat. However, this victory comes at tremendous emotional cost, as Lincoln is dead and Kaitlin is consumed by rage.

Foreshadowing: Kaitlin's confession of love for Lincoln and her subsequent rage establish her as the one who must finish what Lincoln started.

The cover-up involved hiding Christine's role in orchestrating Moira's death. When Moira died, Christine, Krauss, and Iverson conspired to keep the truth hidden. Christine was the primary culprit who caused Moira's death, while Krauss and Iverson were oblivious participants who helped conceal the circumstances. This secret becomes central to the story's climax when Moira confronts Christine about the lies, forcing the truth to surface.

Foreshadowing: Staff members Krauss and Christine are described as being 'ensnared in the chaos' from the beginning, suggesting they have a deeper connection to Moira than initially revealed.
