* [[Book Ends]]: The movie starts and ends with Mark standing on a large rocky hill.
* [[Card
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: No one believes Mark when he tries to tell how twisted his cousin is.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Well, more like Chekhov's Cliff.
Line 26:
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Henry.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: A pretty depressing example occurs at the beginning, when Mark is sitting by the bed of his terminally ill mother, repeating desperately that she won't die because he won't let her. Then it cuts to her funeral.
* [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]]: Mark wears a blue jacket and Henry wears a red jacket.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: The first sign of Henry's true nature is that he smokes and gets Mark to smoke as well.
* [[Hollywood Density]]: Henry tries to kill his sister by hurling her onto thin ice, where she immediately falls through. However, several adults trying to save her easily walk on the ice and need massive axes to chip it open mere seconds later.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Henry shoots and kills a dog with a nail crossbow.}}
Line 34:
* [[Literal Cliff Hanger]]: {{spoiler|Henry shoves his mother off a cliff and tries to finish her off with a rock to break her attempts to climb back up. Susan manages to pull herself back up just as Mark attacks Henry and both boys go over the side, forcing her to try and save them by catching them.}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Henry.
* [[Nightmare Fuel
* [[Obviously Evil]]: '''Henry'''
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: {{spoiler|Susan ultimately has to choose between which child will live when she can only rescue one (because, you know, [[Sarcasm Mode|it's such a hard choice to make]])...and she lets Henry die.}}
Line 40:
** The film was probably made for that entire purpose. (Some people wanted to see evil Macaulay Culkin).

* [[Precision F
* [[Self Made Orphan]]: {{spoiler|Henry tries this on Susan in the end. It epically backfires.}}.
* [[Shout Out]]: When they meet the first time Henry gives Mark [[Halloween (Film)|a white mask made of paper and glue]].
* [[What Do You Mean
** People ''don't like it'' when you weaponize the break from [[Contractual Purity]].
