No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ron Perlman's outspoken, cigar-chomping, right-wing pundit is very reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh at the time of filming.

Hero Antagonist: The local sheriff becomes suspicious of the disappearances, and quickly figures out that this houseful of students is involved. She's rather unceremoniously killed by Luke when he finds her snooping around where the bodies are buried, and has almost nothing to do with the final resolution of the plot.

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: As time goes on, the students kill people over increasingly trivial disagreements, eventually targeting a teenager because she promotes sexual abstinence.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Near the end of the film, the group targets a teenager who promotes abstinence. One of them decides it's too disproportionate and takes her home while the rest are preparing the meal. At one point near the end, one of the students points out that they are putting too much effort in the "murder" part of their scheme and not enough effort in being hosts: "The dinners aren't even very good anymore!"

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Norman figures out the main characters' scheme and kills them via Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo. They've all become so corrupted at that point that their deaths might feel justified, but it comes immediately after they decide to change their ways. The final scene then implies that everything the group feared about Norman might be true, and that he might end up becoming president.

Would Hurt a Child
 The Last Supper (1996) / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: The first victim turns out to be a suspected child murderer, which helps to convince the group they were doing the right thing. This gets flipped when one of their victims is a teenage Christian girl who they target for preaching abstinence (mercifully, one of them backs down and takes the girl home before the others can go through with it).

comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: While the far-rightists the group is pursuing are certainly dicks, it becomes increasingly clear that the students are being far worse than the extremists ever were. We even see their victims becoming less villainous (eventually killing a woman they consider too restrictive about what books should be taught in schools.)

The Ace: For a given use of the term: Ron Perlman's character is a cool, incredibly smooth conversationalist who makes clear arguments and actually divides the group for a short moment about whether or not to kill him because some feel he has a point (and are fed up with the decay of their motive). He also quickly figures out the whole murder scheme by himself while they are in the kitchen arguing and screws them over.

Interplay of Sex and Violence: As the roommates get further into the murders, one of them seems to react to it as though it's an aphrodisiac, taking care of herself in bed while her boyfriend prepares a shower, and then deciding to jump in with him to take care of it together.
