Daylight Horror is no longer a trope, don't link it anywhere.


* DaylightHorror: The film is set entirely at night during the Earth's final few hours of existence, and yet the sun doesn't go down. At all. In fact, it gets brighter throughout the film, as it is implied that the coming apocalypse is related to the Sun in some ways (quite possibly a supernova).

* StepfordSmiler: Patrick's sister Jenny spends most of the movie cheerfully acting like a party is going on rather than TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. However, there are some signs that she's not as tranquil as she seems. Most notably, she nervously closes her eyes as the ominous wave of light heads toward her and her friends, although she otherwise remains composed.

* SituationalSexuality: Craig is desperate to have sex with as many different kinds of people as he can, before the world ends. During the course of the film, he has sex with his former high school teacher (played by Genevieve Bujold), a young black woman, and a virgin.[[note]]He has an entire list of fantasies that he's already crossed off, including "Redhead", "Blind", "Black", "Chinese", "Sex outdoors" and "Anal sex".[[/note]] However, when he awkwardly attempts to come on to Patrick, Patrick draws the line, although not on the grounds that he finds the whole idea repellent; just because he hasn't had time to get used to the idea, and he doesn't want to spend his last day on earth having bad sex.
