{{tropelist}}
== "Safe" tropes ==
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: When Jules and Curt go off to fool around in the forest, {{spoiler|the control room is packed to capacity with male staffers, all of whom (save Truman) are grinning ear to ear and eager to see some action
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: In addition to the usual expected horror movie deaths, {{spoiler|this trope is also openly invoked as a plot point.}}
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: Patience's diary.
Line 205:
** Or ''[[Resident Evil]]'' meets ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' for the zombie siege meets "escaping the cage"
* [[You Bastard]]: {{spoiler|The Ancient Ones are basically like horror movie viewers. They watch for people to die in horrific, troperiffic ways, and, when their world does not go as they wanted it to, want to make it go away. And it's hard to not see the scientists/puppeteers as a metaphor for Hollywood's current horror output, repeating the same formula ad infinitum to appease its target audience's appetite for sex and gore as religiously as any ancient ritual. And you can see the two main scientists as a metaphor for a writer and a director, forced to keep putting out the same dross and lamenting their inability to try anything creative. 'I'll never see a merman,' indeed.}}
