Downer Ending: Ed dies of a heart attack, Theresa kills Keith and fatally poisons herself, and Nick is presumably left all alone. | |

Erudite Stoner | |
| Woodshock / int_5ac47fa6 | comment |
Keith is a dark example of an Erudite Stoner who acts chill and wise but does not hesitate to threaten Theresa when she suggests confessing the truth of Johnny's death to the cops. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Woodshock / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Theresa isn't in the best mental state at the outset, grappling with her mother's death and her own depression, but thanks to drugs and circumstance she goes off the deep end. | |

The Stoner | |
| Woodshock / int_6db06839 | comment |
The Stoner: Played for drama with Theresa, who's so burned out she's in a constant haze and unable to connect with most people in her life, including her husband. Deconstructed when, while high, she accidentally gives Johnny weed laced with a lethal poison, killing him. Keith is a dark example of an Erudite Stoner who acts chill and wise but does not hesitate to threaten Theresa when she suggests confessing the truth of Johnny's death to the cops. | |

Mood Dissonance | |
| Woodshock / int_a7f4710f | comment |
Mood Dissonance: Theresa's climactic suicide by poisoning is framed as a transcendent and even magical event, combined with the Soundtrack Dissonance of Peter Raeburn's triumphant "Murder to Death and Beyond." | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Woodshock / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Zig-Zagged. It's implied Theresa's constant pot use leads her to accidentally give Johnny the laced weed, and her use of the poisonous cannabinoid pushes her to extremes she almost certainly wouldn't go to if sober, but it's also clear she's severely depressed and suicidal and uses drugs as self-medication. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Woodshock / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: A cannabinoid rather than mushrooms, but Theresa spends much of the movie in a drug-induced haze that alters her perceptions and influences her actions. | |
