All Men Are Perverts: Virtually every male in this movie tries to come on to Thana or her co-workers. At least, that we see through her eyes.

comment
Revenge Against Men: The film is a Rape and Revenge story about Thana, a mute woman who becomes a Spree Killer after she is raped twice in one day when going home from work. However, she slowly loses her mind and increasingly targets men who have done nothing wrong - by the end, she's simply killing any man she sees.

comment
He Who Fights Monsters: After Thana gets raped twice, she kills her second rapist after the first one ran away and never to be seen again. She then goes out and starts killing creepy men who approach her and then she starts killing men who are guilty for just being male and doesn't care if they're innocent or not. Even she even goes as far as killing a male dog and then it's revealed at the very end of the film that she let the dog live.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: A favored tactic of hers is to pretend to be trapped or surrounded before pulling her gun. Done very cinematically when she lets herself get cornered and surrounded by a gang, only to for her to teach them why you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Meaningful Name: "Thana", the name of the Villain Protagonist, is derived from the name for the Greek god of Death, "Thanatos". Thanatos can also refer to the term coined by Sigmund Freud, which refers to death instinct in humans.

Pet the Dog The only person she hesitates to kill is the divorced salesman. Rather than stalk and hunt him like she does with her other victims. She actually lets him vent his entire sob story, only pulling her gun when he admits to strangling his ex's cat. Even after he turns the gun on himself, she doesn't encourage him one way or the other.
