=== This movie has examples of: ===
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|The reason Dan jumps in the first place.}}
* [[Developing Doomed Characters]]: Due to the story, it might be called ''[[Developing Doomed Characters]]: [[The Movie]]''.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Parker survives, but is either dying or will be forever traumatized by this accident.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Intercontinuity Crossover|Actually]], [[Hatchet (Filmfilm)|she was last seen on the news, talking about how she would be suing the company]].}}
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Wolves]]
* {{spoiler|[[Final Girl]]}}: {{spoiler|Parker.}}
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Obviously a variation on the ''[[Open Water]]'' theme.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: {{spoiler|While Dan is eaten alive by wolves}} the camera focuses on Parker and Joe's faces.
** Inverted when the film decides to show you {{spoiler|Dan's twisted, bloody, and broken legs after jumping off the ski-lift, and when it shows Joe's mutilated corpse after he gets devoured.}}
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: Joe is [[X -Men|Iceman]]. Also, [[Kane Hodder]] is the snowplow driver. The voice that recalls the driver is Adam Green's good friend and leading man of ''[[Hatchet (Filmfilm)|Hatchet]]'', Joel David Moore.
* [[Jump Scare]]: The first wolf appearance.
* {{spoiler|[[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]}}
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
** Also, the wolves' behavior is realistic, too. What might be slightly unbelievable is their actual ''presence''.
* [[Screaming Woman]]: Parker.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The names of the two male leads are names of two of Adam Green's friends. Joe also says that the worst way to die is being eaten by a shark and knowing it, a possible [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Open Water]]''. Also, the [[Star Wars|Sarlacc Pit]] is mentioned during the "worst way to die" conversation.
* [[Sickening Crunch]]: {{spoiler|Can be heard when Dan breaks his legs... and again, repeatedly, when he's desperately trying to reach for the makeshift tourniquets thrown down to him.}}
* [[Stupid Sacrifice]]: Dan. {{spoiler|His jumping down from the skilift got him two broken legs, open bleeding wounds and a horrifying and painful death by wolves}} and was all for ''nothing''.
