Line 29:
* [[Diagonal Cut]]: When a single guy tries to stop Grant, the latter casually whips a tentacle at him. He looks, confused, for a few seconds, while blood starts pouring out of a perfectly vertical cut from his head to his groin, before he splits apart.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The scenes where the alien worms possess and impregnate the townsfolk are treated as parallel to rape and sexual assault.
* [[The End -
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: {{spoiler|The entire town is killed except Bill Pardy, Starla and Kylie.}}
* [[Final Girl]]: {{spoiler|Two of them plus a Final Guy. Only Starla completely fills this trope however.}}
Line 35:
* [[Hive Mind]]: The parasite has the mind of every living creature it has ever infected.
* [[Hive Queen]]: Grant.
* [[Homage]]: Most obviously to ''Night of the Creeps''. Starla teaches at [[Tremors|Earl Bassett]] Community School, the mayor's name is [[The Thing (
* [[Horror Hunger]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Those turned into breeders want meat. Any meat...

{{quote| ''I'll keep growing till I'm everywhere. 'Till I'm all that is."}}
* [[Orifice Invasion]]
* [[The Power of Love]]: Subverted, but not how you think. After being infected, Grant {{spoiler|tries and succeeds at resisting the urge to eat Starla, and has his drones bring her back home and [[Go-Go Enslavement|dress her in silk]] and [[Bathe Her and Bring Her
* [[Puppeteer Parasite]]: Grant Grant isn't himself.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The whole film runs on this.
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Or this.
* [[Rule of Scary]]: Or this.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Did anyone else think of ''[[
** Countless others to mention, but the ending is a possible shout-out to the final scenes of ''Society''.
** The film is a [[Whole-Plot Reference]] (kinda sorta) to [[Night of the Creeps]].
Line 55:
* [[The Virus]]
* [[Word of God]]: It's not made 100% clear in the film, but according to director James Gunn on the DVD commentary, the real Grant died when he was attacked by the alien. Everything after that was the alien, although it had absorbed Grant's memories and his love for Starla. The scene with him crying early on was to indicate the alien experiencing human emotions for the first time.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Night of the Creeps]]'' meets ''[[The Thing (
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Potentially. They're able to prevent the scenario from spreading beyond the town, luckily.
