* [[Affably Evil]]: The Caller's demeanor is pleasant, but is clearly malevolent, with deity-level feelings of grandiosity.

* [[Asshole Victim]]: The Caller's previous victims.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: [[Lampshaded Trope|Played with]] and [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]. Whatever the Caller's motives for his actions, it had nothing to do with his childhood upbringing, which he says was quite happy.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Just about everything the Caller says. It's what makes up most of the movie.
* [[Hey
* [[I Can See You]]
* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: Stu uses this as his excuse as to why he's cheating on his wife.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: "Isn't it funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?"
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: the hoo- ladies will have you know they're ''escorts''.
Line 61:
* [[Redemption Earns Life]]: See below.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Stu finally admits his wrongdoings to his wife and all of the passers-by, and is shortly afterwards shot. {{spoiler|Then it is revealed that it was a rubber bullet, and he's perfectly fine.}}
* [[Shell
* [[Split Screen]]
* [[Suicide By Cop]]: The cops suspect Stu of attempting this, and actively seek to defy it. Of course they're [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] as Stu doesn't want to commit suicide, he's being held hostage.
