Also there's a subtle yet effective religious connotation here as well.
The "don't look past my shoulder" line always made me think about
that woman in the Bible who was running from something & was told not
to turn around & look but she did anyway & got turned into a pillar
of salt!  Bible freaks, help me out here.  Who was that lady in the Bible?

And lastly, just the word "exodus" alone conjures up all kinds of Biblical 
images.

See the depth?
