* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Spencer and Louise both count. Spencer maintains a faux-polite demeanor and makes passive aggressive remarks that he passes off as jokes, and isn't above assisting Louise in brutally murdering her neighbor. Meanwhile, Louise was always socially distant from most people, but at least got along with Victor and Spencer okay. However, she was going to frame Victor for the murder of Valérie, and ultimately leaves him and Spencer to kill one another while playing both sides.]]

Spencer (Speedman) is her friend downstairs neighbor, a suave wheelchair-bound gentleman. Victor (Baruchel) moves into the apartment on the fourth floor, and quickly becomes attached to Louise, but is barely tolerated by Spencer.
After a co-worker of Louise's becomes the fourth victim, Victor starts to spend more time with Louise, bonding on their shared experience of cat-ownership, and begins to tell people that she's his fiancé. While Spencer grows more annoyed at how awkward Victor is, Louise's cats turn up dead apparently at the hand of Valérie their upstairs neighbor, and the killer strikes again. So, what's with the dark figure who was seen climbing the fire escape of their apartment that night and others? And when will Louise learn that she's become engaged to Victor?

!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* DoggedNiceGuy: Victors falls for Louise hard and he does his best to do right by her. He walks her home at night to protect her from the serial killer. He tries to befriend her friends. He loans her his cat after she loses hers. She shows no genuine interest in him [[spoiler:although she does use him to get a sperm sample]].
* JackTheRipoff: [[spoiler:Valérie was killed by Louise in imitation of the actual serial killer]].
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Louise gets away with killing Valérie and trying to get Victor and Spencer to kill each other]].
* NotGoodWithPeople: Type 1. Louise loves her cats and consistently seems to have trouble connecting with people.
* ObfuscatingDisability: [[spoiler:Halfway through the film, we learn that Spencer can walk. Soon thereafter, Louise and Victor found out as well, but have their own reason to keep Spencer's secret]].
* PoliceAreUseless: Averted. The two policemen investigating the murders ask incisive questions and might actually be on the trail of the actual murderer by the end of the film.
* SerialKiller: Four victims, women killed, mutilated, and sexually assaulted, five if you include Valérie [[spoiler:who was actually killed by Louise]].
* TwoScenesOneDialogue: In a conversation late in the movie, Louise is talking with Spencer and Victor in two separate conversations that intertwine. [[spoiler:Victor is telling Louise that Spencer is the serial killer and that they need to set a trap with him as the bait. Spencer is telling Louise that they need to frame Victor for the murders and that she needs to arrange for Victor to be alone so that Spencer can take care of him]].
