Tropes for the film:

  • Bound and Gagged: Dr. Carter ends up being tied up by Ned Henderson when it turns out that he is in on the computer virus killing people.
  • The Film of the Book: Based on Reaper by Ben Mezrich.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: The plot has a computer virus becoming a biological virus and infecting people through their cable boxes, causing them to petrify and shatter.
  • Tagline: "Your first mistake will be your last".
  • TV Telephone Etiquette: Lampshaded by Baldwin when Carter ends a phone call without saying goodbye and asks why she doesn't do so.
