Genre Shift | |
Terror On Alcatraz / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The movie whiplashes between being a neo-noir to being a slasher to being a neo-noir again. | |

Terror On Alcatraz / int_1bbb76bc | comment |
Abandoned Area: When it's not crawling with tourists during the day, Alcatraz is abandoned otherwise with the exception of two guards who keep track of the place at night. | |

Byronic Hero | |
Terror On Alcatraz / int_1fd2efc9 | comment |
Byronic Hero: Matthew is enigmatic and prepared for battle with his red headband, war paint, and inner turmoil. Subverted given that this is a slasher movie and he dies, and the police assume that he's the killer. In any other movie, he'd probably be the one to save the day. | |

Downfall by Sex | |
Terror On Alcatraz / int_31890dad | comment |
Downfall by Sex: This is how Dean and Clarissa discover Kenneth's dead body. Unsurprisingly, neither one survives. Dean is discovered hung after an off-screen death, while Clarissa attempts to woo the killer by baring her breasts to him in a last-ditch effort to save herself... which doesn't work. | |

Fat Bastard | |
Terror On Alcatraz / int_51300dbf | comment |
Fat Bastard: Kenneth is anything but likeable from the start. It also doesn't help that he perpetuates the stereotype of Native Americans being alcoholics, when he himself is a cokehead. | |

Police Are Useless: The two park rangers simply add to the bodycount, as Frank kills both with ease. | |

Not So Invincible After All | |
Terror On Alcatraz / int_6b22aace | comment |
Not So Invincible After All: Frank can escape prison, easily kill off a group of young adults, and survive a tumble off a cliff. However, his downfall comes at his highest moment when he acquires his wealth and he lets his guard down. This was the moment the bank manager attacks him. | |

Decoy Protagonist: Of the group of victims, Greg seems to be the lead in that we are introduced to him first and he recognizes Frank Morris in the group of trourists on Alcatraz. This doesn't stop him from getting a butcher knife to the face. | |
