1* CompleteMonster: The masked SerialKiller, [[MalevolentMaskedMan ChromeSkull]], real name [[spoiler:Jesse Cromeans]], [[SnuffFilm tapes his murders]] and sends the videos to the police. Responsible for the deaths of dozens before the film in a variety of ways, [=ChromeSkull=] sets his sights on the drug-addicted prostitute, Princess. Locking her in a coffin at the funeral home of a mortician who aids him, [=ChromeSkull=] murders his partner-in-crime as soon [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness as he becomes a liability]]. When Princess escapes, [=ChromeSkull=] tracks her to her friend's house, where he goes on to kill anyone he can before seemingly being killed. Returning in the sequel, [=ChromeSkull=] continues his murder spree, breaking into the house of a disabled woman, killing her friend and [[CopKiller many of the cops]] who try to stop him.
2* EvilIsCool: Yeah, [=ChromeSkull=] is a thoroughly despicable man, but ... those knives ... [[CoolMask that]] {{ma|levolentMaskedMan}}sk ... those [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome unique kills]] ...
3* FanonDiscontinuity: The sequel turning the first movie into a ShaggyDogStory and how Princess has a different performer between films can inspire this sentiment.
4* OneSceneWonder: The teenaged store clerk, due to his efforts to drive [=ChromeSkull=] away at gunpoint, his likable attitude, and last but not least [[spoiler:his YourHeadAsplode fate]].
5* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Pretty much any of the gore scenes.
6* TheWoobie:
7** Tucker, whose act of kindness results in his wife's murder, and [[spoiler:his own death, which was rendered pointless by Princess's death]] in ''2''. The same goes for [[spoiler:Steven]].
8** Jessica, more so than Princess. She's going to become blind and needs medication for it, then sees her friend brutally killed and is kidnapped by [=ChromeSkull=], and basically just spends the rest of ''2'' being tormented.
