* HateSink: A contrast to the more entertaining Joanie, despite starting out as a loving boyfriend, Jake Taylor loses such qualities upon being revealed to be the Alpha Werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy. This may also imply he might have killed his ex girlfriend Becky, and possibly Jenny. Jake is a womanizer seeking for the perfect girl to be his life mate, and upon revealing his true colors, becomes possessive towards Ellie and trying to kill her brother. Throughout this, he belittles Ellie for being "weak", mocks her over her failures in life and her parents death.

* BullyTurnedBuddy: [[spoiler:Once Bo comes out to Jimmy, he also becomes an ally to him, aiding him in escaping from Zipper and getting to his sister. Bo also comes on to Jimmy, but it's unclear whether that is a scenario where he is a LovingBully that always had a crush on him or just made a move because he thought Jimmy was the only other gay man he knew.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ActionSurvivor: Jenny eludes the werewolf for a while by hiding under a car and then on a running board while hanging on to the door handle and rearview mirror once it starts looking under the cars. She ditches her high heels and uses her remote key to set off a car alarm to distract the monster, allowing her to flee to an elevator. Once the werewolf tries to get into the elevator, she immediately goes for the emergency phone, then tries to climb to the opening in the elevator roof.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: After Jimmy and Ellie explain that they only ran Becky off the road because they hit an animal, she concernedly asks if it was a dog.

* PlotHole: A small but glaring one. With the revelation that [[spoiler:Jake is the werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy, this contradicts the previous revelation that Joanie is the werewolf killing people throughout the movie. This is because the werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy is the same one who kills Becky at the beginning of the film. Are they trying to imply that Jake was also the one who killed Becky (and possibly Jenny) as well ? Is this some sort of Double RedHerring ? The movie doesn't really answer this after the revelation that Jake is the BigBad.]]
