Ambiguous Situation: The reveal puts Colin's actions in a new light. Was he there to seduce Terri or was he there to kill Jeffrey and Terri just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?

Even Evil Has Standards: Colin seems to go out of his way to not scare the children. How much of this is genuine standards and how much of this is being pragmatic is ambiguous. Subverted when he decides to kill them along with Terri just to spite Jeffrey since he had an affair with his girlfriend.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Really, all Colin had to do for revenge once he was out of prison was to tell Terri that her husband was having an affair with his ex-wife and sit back and laugh as Terri took Jeffrey for everything he had in the divorce, but unfortunately that's not his character.

comment
Where da White Women At?: Colin's ex-girlfriend Alexis was a white woman. And he and Meg seem to hit it off pretty well until he attacks her. It is revealed in the film's climax that Terri's husband is actually having an affair with Alexis. Colin was aware of this himself and his encounter with Terri is actually part of his revenge against Jeffrey for the affair.

The Reveal: Terri's husband Jeffrey was having an affair with Colin's girlfriend Alexis, and he found Jeffrey's name and address on the back of a note he left for Alexis, so it was no accident that Colin happened upon Terri's house.

comment
Foreshadowing: When Colin confronts Alexis after he escaped from prison, he makes it clear that he knows she moved on with another man and plans to visit him later. Turns out that man was Terri's husband Jeffery. Colin asking Terri where her husband is more than once. Colin taking offense to Meg's superficial requirements for a husband. Terri's successful husband was more or less the kind of man she described.

 No Good Deed (2014) / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: It's basically the title of the film, right? But subverted, as the reveal shows that Colin never intended to attack Terri. He was after her husband. Making it more a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He still only got into the house as a result of her good will however.
