* DropDeadGorgeous: Frank picks up a hitchhike named Jan and eventually kills her. Iris then helps Frank dispose of the body. The scene starts with Iris strippping Jan's corpse, which is displayed in what would be a very Fanservice-y way if the character weren't dead and all.

Widely regarded as D'Amato's finest (read "least hack-ish") effort with focus on characters and some genuine suspense apart from some truly disgusting gore and a relentlessly downbeat tone.
!! This film has the following tropes:
* ActingForTwo: Anna and Elena are both played by Cinzea Monreale.
* AxCrazy: Frank and Iris. Iris is the most obvious one.
* BigBad: Iris kickstarts the plot [[spoiler: with her voodoo killing of Anna.]]
** She later becomes a DragonInChief of sorts to Frank who becomes the major villain.
** Ultimately becomes an EvilVersusEvil fight towards the end.
* {{Gorn}}: Truly revolting stuff which is amplified by the bleak tone.
* HeroAntagonist: Kale. He is also very GenreSavvy, choosing to stay in the background and do his detective work, in order to catch Frank.
** Ultimately subverted since he is doing it to blackmail Frank which proves pointless as [[spoiler: Frank dies.]]
* ILoveTheDead: ''Heavily'' implied with Frank as regards to dead Anna. The only thing we see is him [[{{Squick}} making out with her]].
* ImAHumanitarian: The stew made from the [[spoiler: dead Hitchhiker]] eaten by Iris.
** Frank later chews off a girl's throat and ''eats'' it.
* JabbaTableManners: Deliberately enforced by Iris when she gorges on some ''[[ImAHumanitarian stew]]''. Frank vomits on seeing this.
* UndyingLoyalty: Villainous version of this. Iris helps Frank out to the end in all of his foul deeds because she wants to marry him. [[spoiler: She finally flips out when Anna's twin Elena comes and she tries to kill her too only to be stopped by Frank.]]
* VillainProtagonist: Frank.
