* HypeBacklash: The fact that the film took so long to get an official DVD release and had it's theatrical release cancelled caused the film to get a lot of hype due to it being shrouded in mystery. Several who finally saw it after years of waiting felt like the film in no way lived up to it's reputation, finding it more boring then disturbing.

Ambiguous Disorder is now Diagnosed By The Audience, an audience reaction and an YMMV item;


* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never really made clear what exactly is wrong with the killer. He displays traits of sadism, antisocial personality disorder, and narcissism, but is implied to have the capacity for remorse, and as such, goes out of his way to distance himself from the reality of his murders by employing theatricality in his tapes. He also deliberately invokes this to confuse the public into thinking his killings are unrelated.
