* TheAce: 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). [[spoiler:He also quickly figures out the whole murder scheme by himself while they are in the kitchen arguing [[AssassinOutclassin and screws them over]].]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: 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.

!!This film provides examples of:
* ADateWithRosiePalms: 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.
* AccidentalMurder: The first one, at least. [[MurderMakesYouCrazy It inspires the others.]]
* AnAesop: Murdering people for their beliefs and opinions, no matter how abhorrent they may seem to you, is unconscionable.
* AssholeVictim: How the characters justify the murders. [[spoiler:By the end they become some themselves.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Norman figures out the main characters' scheme and kills them via PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo. They've all become so corrupted at that point that their deaths might feel justified, but it comes immediately after they [[FaceHeelDoorSlam 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.]]
* BlackAndGrayMorality: 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 [[VillainDecay becoming less villainous]] (eventually killing a woman they consider [[FelonyMisdemeanor too restrictive about what books should be taught in schools.]])
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of out-of-control liberalism and political correctness, not to mention of extremism in general.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: "The dinners aren't even very good anymore!"
* TheFundamentalist: Among the victims is a homophobic reverend.
* GodwinsLaw: "You encounter a young painter by the name of Adolf Hitler."
* HeroAntagonist: The local sheriff becomes suspicious of the disappearances, and quickly figures out that this houseful of students is involved. [[spoiler: 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.]]
* HeteronormativeCrusader: Opponents of LGBT rights are among the victims.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: The ending implies the students are killed with their own poison wine via PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo on the part of Norman. Him switching the wine also means that if they were not {{Serial Killer}}s the worst that would happen is they would all get a mouthful of vinegar.]]
* IgnoredEpiphany: One of their victims appears to be reconsidering his positions... after he's already been poisoned. But then he brushes that off and lapses back into his hateful rhetoric (to the students' obvious relief).
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: As time goes on, the students kill people over increasingly trivial disagreements, eventually targeting a teenager because she promotes sexual abstinence.
* KillThemAll: [[spoiler:The final scenes imply that Ron Perlman's character switches the poison and kills all the grad students.]]
* TheLastTitle: The title.
* MalcolmXerox: One of the victims is a racist Nation of Islam member.
* MirroringFactions: The whole point of the film is pointing out how the students are being little better than the extremists they believe they're punishing, if not worse.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The students believe that this is the best way to handle people who they consider morally or ideologically wrong.
* MurderMakesYouCrazy
* NastyParty: Every dinner guest is invited for the express purpose of killing him or her.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Ron Perlman's outspoken, cigar-chomping, right-wing pundit is very reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh at the time of filming.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: The main characters ended up seeing that they are no different than the people that they are poisoning but they ended up being poisoned by Norman when he figures out their actions.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Extremely cynical.
* StrawMisogynist: One of the victims is a misogynistic rape apologist.
* VillainProtagonist: The characters start out sympathetic, but some begin to slide into villainy pretty quickly. They are pursued by a HeroAntagonist.
* WellIntentionedExtremist [[HypocriticalHumor (who kill other Well-Intentioned Extremists)]]
* WouldHurtAChild: 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 [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope they target for preaching abstinence]] (mercifully, one of them backs down and takes the girl home before the others can go through with it).
