!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
* OffWithHisHead: This appears to be the killer's standard method of killing his victims. The latest victim has been found with her head missing, and another has had their head replaced with a snowman's head.
* ParanoiaFuel: {{Invoked|Trope}} with one of Harry's statements about the killer: "He's been watching us the whole time."
* PsychopathicManchild: This appears to be Harry's opinion of the killer. This is best seen when he points out to Katrine that the killer's MO (building snowmen, cutting things into little pieces) are what a child does to establish order, and this is further supported by the killer's own notes, which are very childlike:
-->Mister Police, come and look at the snowman I made you
* SnowMeansDeath: The killer kills his victims in the first snow of winter.
