201	A married pair of pedophiles who abduct Oleg along with two other children.
202	----
203	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:It goes without saying that they deserved to be pumped full of lead.]]
204	* FauxAffablyEvil: Their soft cheerful demeanor only serves to make them creepier.
205	* CrapsaccharineWorld: Their apartment is sickeningly lavish and even has a playroom loaded to the brim with toys, a huge camera set, stuffed animals, a closet full of costumes, and ''arcade games''. Teresa quickly discovers that it's all a cover for what the room is really used for...
206	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Understandably, they never counted on anybody storming into their apartment. However, the fact that they had no photos of "their" children anywhere in the place is what convinces Teresa that they've been bullshitting her the entire time.
207	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:At the hands of Teresa.]]
208	* KnightOfCerebus: While many of the villains in the movie are ruthless, none of them are child-molesting serial killers with a disturbing, faux-kindly demeanor that record their horrific crimes on film.

209	* MeaningfulName: ‘Hansel’ is a pretty transparent reference to Literature/HanselAndGretel.

215	* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Their mundane appearance belies their true nature as psychos.
216	* UglyGuyHotWife: Dez is a schubbly, late middle-age guy. Edele is also middle-aged, but she's a stunning blonde.
217	* VillainsWantMercy: When Teresa pulls a gun on them they drop the charade and are forced to cooperate. Dez tries to offer her money if she just takes Oleg and leaves without another word. It doesn't do them any good after she uncovers their stash of snuff films.
218	* WouldHurtAChild: They have molested and murdered dozens of them.
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder:Lester]]
222	!!Lester

224
225	A violent pimp who has a violent encounter with Oleg and winds up in possession of the gun.
226	----

230	* {{Jerkass}}: A creepy and exceedingly abusive pimp, who threatens to hurt Oleg on multiple occasions.
231	* PimpDuds: Wears a garish all-white suit with some gold bling. He purchases the Stainless Snub Nose pistol, purely because it's shine will match his image.
232	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He might be laughably stupid, but he's dangerous all the same and utterly ruthless.
233	* RevengeBeforeReason: Lester wants to kill a '''child''' who doesn't know any better.
234	* WouldHurtAChild: And take sadistic pleasure in doing so, threatening to give Oleg a GlasgowGrin ''after'' pimping him out for a couple months.
235	%%* WrongGenreSavvy:

241
242	A prostitute working for Lester whom Oleg encounters.
243	----
244	* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:To Lester. She knocks him right the hell out after he goes too far and threatens to mutilate her.]]
245	* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She's kind to Oleg, even taking the role of the 'Blue Fairy' in the whole fairytale allegory going on.
246	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Develops a soft spot for Oleg, especially after she sees the bruises on his back from his abusive father. Unfortunately, due to some epic bad timing, [[spoiler: the police roll by [[NotWhatItLooksLike just as she offers him a helping hand, and promptly arrest her for attempting to corrupt a minor]]]].
247	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: ''"Beclovent, bitch!"''
248	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:She's last seen getting arrested.]]
