Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played for Drama. Clara is a naive runaway turned prostitute who is bad at recognizing dangerous people and ends up as a Disposable Sex Worker, while her sister Libby is cool-headed, primly dressed, a competent judge of character, and survives the film. |

comment |
Male Gaze: There are a couple of close-up shots of Buck's girlfriend Lynette's legs and butt as she bends over during a pool game. It stands out more because most of the film's other titillation is of a Fan Disservice variety due to being from the point-of-view of an unhinged voyeur, rapist and murderer. |

The Dog Bites Back: Faye undergoes a Trauma Conga Line that traces back to Judd, as he causes her husband and dog to be eaten by Rocky, tries to kill her daughter, ties up and molests Faye, and then injures her with a scythe before throwing her off a balcony. Consequently, the wounded Faye being the one to push Judd into the jaws of his pet crocodile feels appropriate. |
