Depraved Bisexual | |
| 88 Minutes / int_2ed5e99d | comment |
Depraved Bisexual: Possibly, although it's also heavily implied to fall under the Psycho Lesbian trope as well or at the same time. Lauren is introduced to the audience as a lesbian, and she hooks up with a woman, but she's also working with Forster and gruesomely tortured a woman to death. It's heavily implied that she had romantic feelings for Forster, too. | |

Disposable Woman | |
| 88 Minutes / int_84fa1d7d | comment |
Disposable Woman: Gramm's sister, who was horribly tortured to death by a serial killer, and he blames himself because...he was defending his PhD at the time. Gramm's hookup Sara is gruesomely raped and murdered although the rape part seems to be a fake to corner him for allegedly giving false testimony about Forster. | |

Ms. Fanservice | |
| 88 Minutes / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: While naked, Sara does a weird leg stand while also brushing her teeth. Gramm's reaction is appropriately a mix between excitement and an unstated "What the hell?" look. A bit later, Kim Cummings, who plays a major role in the film, is seen with a purple top and blue jeans just before she and Gramm escape from the apartment. Luckily, she's got plenty of time to put on her brown jacket that she wears for most of her on-screen time. | |
