YMMV / Disembodied Hitman

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • We never get any actual insight into the supposed wrongdoing of the victims, beyond Warner's own words that they're guilty. Were some of them oblivious to the hurt they caused? Some - particularly Diana, Ezra and Darrell - seem as though they could be remorseful. Were the lies calculated, with the intent to destroy the father's reputation? And if so, were the victims coerced?
  • The 'Weird Waving Man' at the end has had his significance debated. Word of God is that he's just a random passerby who's there to make Warner feel uncomfortable after a whole narrative of him being in power. Other interpretations are that he's actually the ghost of Warner's father (since he's played by Dean Houlihan's actual father) - and the waving is actually his approval. In this case, Warner's uncomfortable reaction could be Your Approval Fills Me with Shame.
• Applicability: While the story is inspired by cases involving Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp, the thing is very applicable to the Cycle of Revenge that can often spring up in modern 'cancel culture'; Warner's actions can even be paralleled to Loony Fans getting revenge on people who have wronged their idols.
• Cry for the Devil: Warner lost his father to suicide, strongly implying he was innocent, and suffered from the lies of seventeen people.
• Genius Bonus:
  • Continuing with the Biblical motifs, the seventeenth victim is credited under the actor name 'Nahash', which is the Hebrew word for 'serpent'.
  • Several of the other victims' names appear in the Bible or have Christian connotations; Ezra, Isaac, Mia, Trinity, Harvey.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Adam Douglas, Bobby Calloway and Michele McNally later appeared together in Fallen (2021).
• Nausea Fuel: Particularly after Ivy's murder, where it's implied that Warner scalped her completely and has kept the hair as a trophy.
• One-Scene Wonder:
  • Harley Cubberley really takes the cake as Iris, especially as she goes Laughing Mad towards the end of her verse. She even ended up in the trailer for the whole anthology.
  • Dana Lee Al Qattan as Ezra, with her heart breaking crying providing plenty of Nightmare Fuel.
  • Thomas Fitzgerald as Evan - who makes an impression with his reserved stoicism, almost as if he's accepted what's going to happen.
  • Evelyn Guttridge as Ivy, whose eyes were so expressive, Dean Houlihan was compelled to zoom into them for the end montage.
• Paranoia Fuel:
  • The fact that so many different accents are heard suggests the victims are from all around the world - and that Warner is able to find them all completely undetected!
  • The end clip with the 'Weird Waving Man' shows how remote Warner's area is, and how easy it appears to be to get away with mass murder there.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Didactic?: The film was shot and released around the same time Lindsay Ellis made a pretty brutal video examining the evils of cancel culture (based off her own experiences). Dean Houlihan had no idea who Lindsay Ellis was but, upon being shown the similarities, agreed it was very timely.
• The Woobie: Pretty much all the victims could count, but special mention should go to Bobby and Marty. Both appear to be teenagers. Sure Teens Are Monsters, but getting murdered by a grown adult, while they're clearly terrified...
