Black Comedy: Ends in violent farce as both the mother and Uncle Wim die, both apparently by accident, followed by Tim realizing he dialed the wrong number.

Snow Means Death: The snow falling sets a foreboding mood, one that is reinforced at the end when Uncle Wim dives out a window to his death when he hits the frozen swimming pool.

Foreshadowing: Notice that the phone is brand new out of the package and Tim has to type the number in. Also, he doesn't address the little girl by name.
