12!!This film provides examples of:
13
14* AbusiveParents: Mitch is Derek's abusive stepfather.
15* AxCrazy: Mitch both as a human and a werewolf.
16* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler: Derek is bitten by Mitch just before the ending.]]
17* AssholeVictim: The frat boys and their girlfriends are a downplayed example. While they were dicks, the werewolf went ''way'' too far when he killed them, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil especially]] Cassie.
18* BerserkButton: Sam doesn't like being called Samantha.
19* BigBad: Mitch, the titular Big Bad Wolf that Derek and Sam try to expose after he kills their friends.
20* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Mitch has been killed, but manages to bite Derek just before he dies. Sam does say Derek won't have to go through it alone. May be an Averted trope, considering that werewolves in this movie still retain their human minds.]]
21%%* CoolUncle: Uncle Charlie.
22* DomesticAbuse: When he's not busy raping, torturing and killing people in the most horrifying way possible, Mitch is also extremely harsh and violent to both Gwen and Derek.
23* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Does it ever. [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] would be proud.
24* EvilIsHammy: Werewolf!Mitch does ''not'' believe in subtlety.
25* EvilSoundsDeep: And is oddly talkative for, you know, a werewolf.
26* GenreBlind: The teenage amateur reporters actually go ''to'' the cabin where teenagers were reported killed just to get an inside scoop.
27%%* {{Gorn}}: So very much.
28%%* {{Goth}}: Sam.
29* InterruptedIntimacy: Jason and Melissa leave the cabin to have sex in the woods, but stop when they hear the werewolf howling nearby.
30* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to being a murderous werewolf who loves to kill people for fun, Mitch is also a massive prick to everybody who treats both Derek and Gwen in an especially harsh manner.
31* JekyllAndHyde: Subverted. Mitch is [[TheJekyllIsAJerk a pure evil monster both as a human and as a werewolf]] since he can retain his original mind. On the other hand, for unexplained reasons, he's more hammy and cruelly extravagant as a werewolf while he's a more cold-blooded sociopath as a human.
32* LaughablyEvil: For some reasons, Mitch is this while is in his werewolf form. Ironically he's much more menacing when he's human.
33* MurderTheHypotenuse: Before marrying Gwen, Mitch killed Derek's father.
34* NeverMyFault:
35** Mitch places the blame of the teenagers' deaths on Derek for leading them to the cabin in the first place.
36** [[spoiler: When he kills Charlie, Mitch tells him that it's his own fault for not minding his business.]]
37* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolf in this movie retains his human mind and can even talk. Also, a transformation can be triggered by anger, stress, and arousal.
38* OutWithABang: A gruesome example as Mitch rapes Cassie and slashes her throat during the act.
39* PostRapeTaunt: After Cassie is raped and murdered.
40-->'''Alex:''' You animal! She was a virgin!
41-->'''Mitch Werewolf:''' Well she ain't anymore.
42* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil
43** Part of Werewolf!Mitch's EstablishingCharacterMoment is raping a girl before killing her.
44** Mitch forcing Sam to perform oral sex on him to collect a DNA sample puts a strain on her friendship with Derek.
45* RedHerring: Averted. Derek and Sam guess correctly that Mitch is the werewolf.
46* RunningGag: A group of teenagers, acting as a news crew, trying to get a scoop on the massacre.
47* {{Sadist}}: Mitch, especially as a werewolf.
48* SexSignalsDeath: Jason and Melissa get killed by Mitch shortly after having sex in the woods.
49* ShoutOut: Mitch's last name, Toblat, is clearly a play on "[[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Talbot]]", the original WolfMan.
50* TheSociopath: Mitch in his human form.
51* TechnicalVirgin: Cassie gives Alex a blowjob and it's not the first time she's done it.
52* TookALevelInBadass: Derek in the climax. Lampshaded when Mitch says he put up a bigger fight then he expected.
53* WolfMan: Mitch retains a humanoid appearance in his werewolf form.
54* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: Mitch while battling Derek says to him that killing his father was like "leading a lamb to slaughter."
