* [[Complete Monster]]: Northcott is a stick-on case. Jones is a definite [[Jerkass]] who arguably crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] into monster territory after having Christine committed to get her out of his way.
** Dr Steele, the corrupt head physchiatrist. At best, he doesn't give a crap about treating his patients... at worst, he verbally and physically abuses them. Any retaliation leads to them being sent for a torturous electro-therapy treatment. The fact his treatment of Christine is almost perpetually accompanied by a [[Smug Snake|nonchalent smirk]] (replaced by visible bitterness when he is forced to release her) suggests [[Morally -Ambiguous Doctorate|he's a man who enjoys his job]]. Northcott was [[Ax Crazy|mentally insane]], Jones thought [[Knight Templar|he was working for a greater good]] while Arthur was [[Kids Are Cruel|a kid]]. Steele on the other hand is a [[It Amused Me|sane and ambitionless sadist]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Sanford's confession to the police makes the one from [[Se7en]] look like a church book club discussion.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: The police can replace your missing child with a random runaway, convince everybody in your neighborhood that your protests as to his real identity are not just wrong, but signs of abuse from you, and eventually throw you into a mental institution without a warrant just to shut you up. And it's all based on a true story.
