The baby is the only survivor, and it's clear that she's been infected by the alien parasite - likely due to the aforementioned "vaccine".
Chekhov's Gun: Kate's reluctance to take the vaccine was over concerns for her unborn child. Nick tries to reach out to him over it, but is shut down. The Chain of Harm: The father is very abusive towards Nick, and is later revealed to have been horrifically abused by the grandfather himself. Body Horror: The film is loaded with this especially after the Puppeteer Parasite reveals itself and begins attacking the family. Blind Obedience: The Movie - but particularly Tony, who views any dissent as treasonous. Most of the family is dead, the baby is birthed by the parasite and immediately taken over, as evidenced by her Black Eyes of Evil. Babies Ever After: A horribly bleak example. Ax-Crazy: The father after he finally snaps, grabbing an axe and starting to kill people with it. The sister, dying while egging on Scott to beat the crap out of Nick for "not doing as he's told" gets bumped and knocked over the banister as she followed the fight upstairs. The father most definitely also qualifies when the Puppeteer Parasite takes him over. Asshole Victim: The grandfather is the first to die when he becomes "infected" by the alien. Apocalypse How: At the least a Class 2 with The alien parasite shown to have taken over the entire suburb. Subverted in that being right about the instructions' malevolence doesn't save Nick and Annji in the end, as by then its power is too great. 
An Aesop: Don't blindly follow orders from an unknown source, and don't be afraid to admit you were wrong and someone else had a better read on things.He vomits a tarry substance not long after and dies. Once Annji figures out how to sterilize the needles, the grandfather is the first to take the plunge, calling the rest of them sissies. Afraid of Needles: When they get the unsterile "vaccination kit" through the chimney along with instructions to use it (on the TV, natch), most of the family is understandably squicked - save for Tony, who takes his dosage immediately.It's no coincidence that he gets the first look outside the membrane - and sees the alien Puppeteer Parasite crawling over the side of the house. Nick, the younger son, does most of the detective work and remains calm even as the adults are falling to pieces around him, with Tony in particular vanishing off to his study to "work" after Kate fell from the second floor and broke her leg. Adults Are Useless: An extreme example.
