Line 47:
* [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]]: Doubly subverted / deconstructed; Millbrook is initially presented as idyllic precisely ''because'' [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|nothing exciting ever happens there]]; when the bodies start piling up it's more upsetting and disturbing than it is exciting.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Tom, repeatedly.
* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: William Hurt was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his one scene appearance as Richie Cusack.
* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: Averted, as you'd expect from a Cronenberg film. Tom shoots one of the robbers at the beginning of the movie in the back of the head, and his face [[Your Head Asplode|more or less explodes]] as a result.
** [[Nausea Fuel|Not that it stops him from trying to breathe]], at least for a while.
