Fish People: The film is about a colony of these who get into a feud with a lighthouse keeper. In an inversion of the usual trend of fish men going after human women, this guy keeps a fish woman as basically a sex slave, so it's implied that the constant attacks on his lighthouse are, at least partly, attempts to rescue her.

Doomed Predecessor: When the protagonist arrives for his new job as a weather technician, on an island with no other people besides a lighthouse keeper. Gruner the lighthouse keeper claims that the previous technician died of plague, although it quickly becomes apparent that the monsters that emerge from the ocean every night are the true cause. Then it turns out that the previous technician is Gruner, it was actually the previous lighthouse keeper who was killed under unexplained circumstances while the weatherman assumed his identity in order to stay on the island once his tour at the weather outpost was up.

Crazy Survivalist: Gruner comes across as one, having all kinds of traps and defenses rigged, enjoying his seclusion and relishing fighting the toads.
