* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Why Jill and Tommy sneak into Sam's house for their romantic rendevousz makes no sense. It is never explained and feels somewhat out of place. Jill's bubbly demeanor despite having lost her brother earlier that day (and been upset about it then) doesn't help, nor does how the event is never referenced again. It could also double as an AssPull.

* TheScrappy: The sheriff's son (i.e. Ryan) is a TooDumbToLive kid who thought it was a good idea to put anti-freeze in his dad's oatmeal so that his dad wouldn't get cold. It didn't help that he couldn't figure out how to make a snowman's face without a snowman puppet on his hand.

* BrokenBase: Some fans feel that the "BlackComedyRape by a mutant snowman" setpiece and most of the preceding scene reduces the movie as a whole and would prefer to put it under FanonDiscontinuity. For others, the phrase JustHereForGodzilla applies to that scene.

* TheWoobie: Mrs. Metzner has it tough. She's constantly treated badly by her husband, she's hinted to have an [[AmbiguousDisorder undefined mental disorder]], her son is killed and when she tries to turn on the Christmas lights to distract herself from the grief her husband accuses her of not respecting the boy's death, she has to watch her husband and daughter fight, and then Jack brutally kills her. [[spoiler:And as a final, posthumous bit of suffering, her surviving child is also attacked and apparently killed by Jack just a few hours later.]]

Death By Sex is no longer a trope per this TRS thread Zero Context Examples and examples that do not fit existing tropes will be deleted.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Jill and Tommy. Jill did seem upset over her brother's death and had some nice chemistry with Tommy (who's being the son of Paul, who went crazy and started destroying snowmen after witnessing an attack could have meant more). After losing her whole family to Jack, she and Tommy could have had the motivation to help the sheriff fight him in the climax. All in all, both had the potential to be prominent supporting characters and help in the climax instead of just turning into {{Hormone Addled Teenager}}s [[spoiler: who suffer a plot-irrelevant BlackComedy DeathBySex scene that is never referenced again.]]
