History YMMV / SweetHome2017

* CompleteMonster: [[AxCrazy Gapsu Seo]] is a violently unstable murderer whose first act in the apartment is to defy Joon's orders to befriend Dusik, instead killing him [[ForTheEvulz just because he could]]. Gapsu's also a SerialRapist, and it's hinted that one of his victims was underage. After transforming into a monster, Gapsu tries to do just one thing: [[AttemptedRape rape Hyein]], showing just how much he enjoys his crimes. An utterly insane and remorseless sociopath, Gapsu may have the least focus of all the criminals but [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil his actions are far and away the most disturbing in the entire comic]].

* CompleteMonster: In a world filled with ''literal'' monsters, two of the criminals manage to stand out as even more evil than them.
** [[BigBad Joon Shin]] is a sociopathic killer who will [[NoHonorAmongThieves gladly throw anyone under the bus]] if it means he can survive. A BadBoss who used threats to bring together his group of criminals, Joon came up with the idea to feed people to the monsters to ensure they could survive, no matter how many innocent people were killed in the process. After arriving at the apartment, Joon quickly gains control over everyone there, killing Seon even though she wasn't a threat and even setting [[HarmlessVillain the Blob]] on fire. Joon goes on to kill Sangsu, one of his loyalists in the apartment, just to leave his body for the monsters as a distraction and [[ItsAllAboutMe ensure his own survival]].

* SignatureScene: A few candidates.
** Whenever someone [[ZombieInfectee gets a nosebleed]]. You just know things will go downhill from there.
** Hyun [[spoiler:witnessing the girl next door eat her own cat.]]
** [[spoiler: The arrival of the criminals after the battle with the Beefcake Monster.]]
** [[spoiler: Hyun's encounter with Jay's Monster]]

* WhatAnIdiot: Hyun has just saved Jisu from [[spoiler:the flying monster]] after electrocuting all three of them until the monster let go. Jisu is now lying on the floor, injured from the attack.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Hyun would quickly get Jisu up from the floor, maybe with an apology for the friendly fire, and they'd run for their lives.\\
'''Instead''': Hyun hugs her on the floor and refuses to let her move.\\
'''The Result''': The monster comes back, forcing the two of them to flee. They barely manage to get away from it before shutting a door in its face, leaving a rightfully pissed Jisu and Hyun on the other side.

* SpecialEffectsFailure:

[[folder:YMMV Tropes in the game]]
* AdaptationDisplacement: [[http://www.glitterberri.com/developer-interviews/tokuro-fujiwara/ The Famicom game ended up being more popular than the film, to the point that the original filmmaker commended the developers for making the game scarier than the movie.]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsUdzKuXMFg&list=HL1382178703 Battle Theme]].
* GoodBadBugs: Encountered by LetsPlay/DeceasedCrab during his LetsPlay, when [[spoiler: he flees the boulder and the wood breaks, causing his middle team member to hang for her life and stranding all three. The rock goes over Emi and vanishes without triggering the usual instant death]].
* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler: The best ending. In which the person interviewing the crew [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie suddenly turns into a monster]]. While clearly intended to be terrifying, it comes off as hilarious due to its random nature and how [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment the game immediately ends afterwards]].]]
* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Both the movie and the game are considered to be very good. In fact, the game is often considered to be ''better'' than the movie.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Thanks to the 8-bit sprites, with Akiko wearing a flat medical coat and Asuka wearing some sort of blue cape thing, both can be mistaken for males. The main clues otherwise are the gender-divided Really Dead Cutscenes and [[spoiler: the portraits of their doppelgangers seen in the final area]].

* UncannyValley: The monster form of [[spoiler:Jay, who was primarily concerned about his skincare,]] because of the giant face on its torso, a manifestation of [[spoiler:his vanity.]]

** [[spoiler: The arrival of the criminlas after the battle with the Beefcake Monster.]]

* ShoutOut: After waking up, the manhwa Eun-yu is reading is {{Webcomic/Bastard}}, another work from the creator of ''Sweet Home''.

* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler:Gapsu's death at Hyein's hands couldn't have been more deserved, karmic, or satisfying.]]

* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler:Jayhun's]] death. He goes down fighting a monster that he knows he can't damage because the only alternative is letting it kill everyone else on the first floor, and as he lays dying, right before he's killed, his last thoughts are of [[spoiler:Jisu's smiling face]], causing him to GoOutWithASmile.
** [[spoiler:Jay's final death]]. While they may have been a selfish AttentionWhore, Hyun being forced to kill him despite his initially harmless appearance, combined with the flashes he gets of what they were like as a person, makes it a genuinely tragic death.
** TheReveal of what happened to Hyuk and Eun's parents. [[spoiler:Their mother died when they were children, and their father, determined to get their money back, left them in an orphanage to go work. At some point after that, he died as well, leaving the two of them alone in an orphanage with no one but each other.]]
** [[spoiler:The death of Dusik Hahn, one of the characters from the very beginning of the comic. After succumbing to his monster infection and blowing himself up along with several monsters, he manages to hold on long enough for Hyun to find him. The emotions caused by Hyun coming back for him when even his wife and son never did causes him to start crying, and his final words are trying to absolve Hyun of any blame he feels for whatever happened to his family. He then closes his eyes and dies, imagining his family coming back for him.]] There is no shortage of emotions throughout this comic, but this particular moment hits the hardest by far.
** The ultimate ending of the series itself. [[spoiler:Hyun gives his final wish to Jisu - for her to name her future song "Sweet Home" - before transforming into a monstrous knight version of his anime icon, Sir Ryan. Said monster saves the survivors from Monster Joon, but Hyun quickly loses his consciousness to the monster and it takes the Hyuk sacrificing himself by transforming to stop Hyun from slaughtering everyone. The series ends with about a handful of survivors left, all deeply saddened by the constant sacrifices of dear friends made to even escape the building. TheStinger also reveals that Hyun never gave in to his one true desire as a monster, and he is reborn as a Monster Human with some emotions left, crying profusely while listening to Jisu's song on a discarded MP3. It's sudden and abrupt and goes to show how powerful emotions really are in this setting]].
*** Thankfully the Epilogue shows [[spoiler:Hyun has survived his monsterization and meets up with Jisu and the survivors at a military base, and even is able to display emotions in his Human Monster state, including love for Jisu. While not as sad as the other examples are, the series ending on a happy note after everything and providing hope that Monsters and Monster Humans can potentially live peacefully should they not lose their emotions inspires a great deal of tear jerking hope and happiness for these tortured characters]].
* UncannyValley: [[spoiler:Jay's monster form because of the giant face on its torso, a manifestation of his vanity.]]
* UnintentionallySympathetic: [[spoiler:Gapsu's brutal death at Hyein's hands, courtesy of a slashed throat, is clearly meant to be unnerving, but it couldn't have been directed at a more deserving target from a more karmic assailant, so it's hard to hold it against her.]]

* MagnificentBastard:: [[PragmaticHero Hyuk Lee]] is the pragmatic leader of the survivors. After discovering the monsters' weakness to fire, Hyuk leads a rescue mission for Hyun, intending to utilize Hyun's half-monster status to use him as [[TheBait bait]]. Telling Hyun to consider the children expendable if it means rescuing Dusik, he reveals that it was actually a [[SecretTestOfCharacter test to see how ruthless he is]], a test that Hyun passes. When Joon Shin and his criminals arrive, Hyuk [[ObfuscatingStupidity plays dumb]] until the best possible moment, escaping his imprisonment and knocking Joon out despite his monster infection. When the monsters break into the lobby, he unleashes his master plan to get everyone out of the building, and when Hyun finally gives into his infection and transforms, Hyuk [[HeroicSacrifice transforms as well]], imprisoning him with his monster form so that he can't kill anyone else.
