Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* AnythingThatMoves: Fuck-Pig in particular doesn't mind who he rapes, as evidenced by the corpses of the elderly couple with holes in them from his giant bladed codpiece.

Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


* HurtingHero: Already implied to have a DarkAndTroubledPast, the amount of physical and mental pain he endures in the space of just a few days would be enough to harrow a saint.

* ReligionOfEvil: It's unclear just what it is that the Children believe, but between his rant to Mandy sounding an awful lot like he made a DealWithTheDevil, their connection to a demonic biker gang, his disdain for Jesus' self-sacrifice (though ironically enough, he refers to "the light of Christ" in one of his songs, and he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAZiUYql2oE wears a crucifix during a recording]]) and the look on Red's face when he read the cult's scripture, it's likely that there's something inherently sinister and possibly even Satanic in their doctrine.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's clear that something isn't quite right with the guy, probably due to his constant exposure to the PsychoSerum LSD that he himself makes, but other than his appearance its clear he's far more relatable than his "customers" are; the man himself also apparently is either omniscient and/or can communicate telepathically and may or may not be this universes fucked up version of God.

\n\n[[folder:Brother Lewis]]
-->Played by: Stephan Fraser

[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brother_lewis.PNG]]

The youngest and most expendable member of the cult.

* ButtMonkey: The other members clearly don't respect him, and have no issues sending him to his death.
* HumanSacrifice: The rest of the cult sacrifice him to the Black Skulls.
* TheLoad: He doesn't seem to contribute much to the cult, and it's implied that the only reason Jeremiah keeps him around is to sacrifice him later.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The first character in the movie to die, without establishing much personality beyond meekness.

* ThousandYardStare: [[spoiler:After he frees himself from his restraints and watches Mandy's ashes blow away, he walks back in his house and catatonically plops down on the bed with this exact look on his face]].

** [[spoiler:After finishing off the last of the Children, he's left staring ahead with a hollow expression as he recalls his first meeting with Mandy, still feeling his loss despite taking revenge]].
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Implied. [[spoiler:Despite succeeding at wiping out the Black Skulls and the Children of the New Dawn, Red is left driving off into the distance with a hollow expression as he thinks back to first meeting Mandy, feeling no solace after taking revenge.]]



* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He beheads Sister Marlene, and [[DecapitationPresentation throws her head]] to Jeremiah.]]



* BigBad: It's his obsession with Mandy [[spoiler:and brutal murder of her once she mocks him]] that triggers the main events of the movie.



* EvilIsHammy: He's rather loud and bombastic, to say the least, as befitting a cult leader.



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In his mind, Jesus' "mistake" was not sending someone else to be crucified in his place. The idea of self-sacrifice is clearly lost on Jeremiah ([[{{Narcissist}} for obvious reasons]]).
* EvilIsHammy: He's rather loud and bombastic, to say the least, as befitting a cult leader.
* EvilIsPetty: After Mandy laughs at him (while drugged out of her skull), Jeremiah not only decides to [[spoiler:murder her in a horrible and painful fashion]], but he insults her and Red's relationship, as well as telling Red that she's an "ugly whore".



* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Jeremiah's left eye pops out as Red fatally crushes his skull.]]



* LightIsNotGood: Jeremiah pontificates about the hot, beautiful light he was bathed in, supposedly by God, and he considers himself "a righteous man whose heart [is] full of love". He embodies ''none'' of the righteousness he likes to see in himself, and is ultimately just a small, petty, loathsome man with delusions of grandeur.



* LoveAtFirstSight: What Jeremiah ''thinks'' happened between him and Mandy; as far as he cares, she's a kindred spirit who silently called out to him and is worthy to share in his glory. In reality, she's little more than a LustObject to him, and the instant she acts in a way he doesn't like, he suffers a breakdown [[spoiler:and condemns Mandy to a horrible death]].



* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Jeremiah's treatment of the women around him shows that he has quite a misogynist streak; he uses the women in his cult for sex and becomes obsessively fixated on Mandy after seeing her exactly once, having her kidnapped and drugged (making it clear that consent isn't high on his list of priorities) only to reject her as an "ugly whore" when she laughs at his bloated ego.

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Brother Swan opts to taunt Red about Mandy's death when he knows his number's up. He even makes a bad pun about it (by way of a Neil Young reference).]]

* NiceGuy: At the beginning, he's a friendly, likable person whose interactions with Mandy are incredibly sweet. Even during his rampage, he's not without the capacity for mercy and kindness, sparing both the [[spoiler:Chemist and Sister Lucy, despite their affiliation with the Children of the New Dawn.]]



* HeManWomanHater: While he clearly doesn't care about anyone who isn't him, he sees women in particular as second-class citizens and deserving of being treated like slaves and used for sex. [[spoiler:And murdering them when they reject his advances.]]



* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Their gang name, but special mention goes to ''Fuck Pig.''

-->"Jeremiah Sand was [[BlatantLies a righteous man, whose heart was full of love]]..."



* {{Jerkass}}: Simply put, he is just not a nice person. He belittles Mother Marlene — who adores him — snapping at her for not immediately going to fetch Brother Swan, and views his followers as expendable when it comes to getting what he thinks he's owed.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a quiet, humble man who mostly just keeps to himself. When sufficiently provoked though ([[ItsPersonal and Jeremiah MORE than accomplishes that]]), he is an absolutely unstoppable force of violence.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:After Red has disarmed him and is preparing to give a coup-de-grace, Skratch mocks him for Mandy's death]].
--> '''"SHE IS STILL BURNING."'''


Added DiffLines:

* EvilGloating: Most of their sparse dialogue consists of this.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Their voices sound like erupting volcanoes.


Added DiffLines:

* TheHeavy: Jeremiah pays them in blood to do his bidding, but they're fundamentally independent operators and far more threatening than the pathetic hippies that make up the Children.
* TheHedonist: Fuck Pig is implied to be a SerialRapist and is seen watching porn with his face buried in a mountain of cocaine.


Added DiffLines:

* MadeOfIron: The spiky one survives a [[spoiler:crossbow bolt and bike wipeout before absolutely {{no sell}}ing Red's attempt at CarFu]]. Later, their leader [[spoiler:receives a crossbow bolt to the throat without flinching before calmly pulling it out as if it were a splinter]].


Added DiffLines:

* SerialKiller: A gang of them. Caruthers explains that they're responsible for numerous disappearances and murders in the wilderness, and when they capture Red, they bring him back to a house they've apparently invaded and butchered the inhabitants of.
* SerialRapist: The bladed, bloodied dildo Fuck Pig wears, along with the nude corpses in the bedroom, implies that he gets his kicks raping people to death.

* ColdBloodedTorture: Gagged with ''barbed wire'', stabbed in the gut, and ForcedToWatch as the love of his life [[spoiler:dies by fire]]. Red's vengeance is well-earned.



* EmotionalBruiser: Red is capable of absolutely inhuman violence, but it's all motivated by his deep love for Mandy and his anguish [[spoiler:at her murder]].



* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Downplayed. While his revenge against the Children of the New Dawn is brutal even before he takes [[spoiler:the Black Skulls' LSD]], he still retains a solid moral compass, [[spoiler:sparing Sister Lucy, the only member of the cult innocent of any real wrongdoing]] despite having an opportunity to kill her alongside Brother Swann.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MookHorrorShow: Visits this upon [[spoiler:the Children of the New Dawn after tracking down their compound]]. Unlike the Black Skulls, only one person manages to give him a real fight. The rest is absolutely one-sided butchery.

* EntitledBastard: This about sums it up:As most of the tropes under this folder suggest. He thinks that anything he wants, he's owed.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychopathicManchild: One indication of just how much of a loser he is behind the charismatic cult leader persona is his sheer petulance. His sense of entitlement often leads to childish tantrums when he realizes that he can't have whatever — or ''who''ever — it is that he wants. Though he seems to be an EvilSorcerer, so much of his power goes to waste towards his own petty gain.


Added DiffLines:

* SmallNameBigEgo: A failed folk musician who leads an insignificantly-sized cult that lives in the hills, yet he thinks that he's all-powerful and is entitled to whatever he wants.
