* DarkerAndEdgier: This movie is surprisingly dark for a Asylum movie. For example, a nurse gets killed off gruesomely and realistic by being shanked by prisoners, the main character almost gets raped by her father and she kills him in self-defense, etc.

It doesn't count if she survives, so I'm changing this.


* BungledSuicide: Anna cuts her wrists in solitary after having discussed the possibility earlier with other inmates. Of course, she was also naked in solitary while suffering from crack withdrawal, so she may not have been trying to kill herself.



* DrivenToSuicide: Anna doesn't take it well when she's confined to solitary while suffering from withdrawal.

* AttemptedRape: Anna kills her stepfather in defending herself from his rape attempt at the beginning of the film. Unfortunately, her mother and the cops don't believe what happened, so Anna is sent to prison.


Added DiffLines:

* CrimeOfSelfDefense: Anna kills her stepfather in self-defense when he's trying to rape her. The cops and jury don't believe it though, since her mother denies he'd done anything, so Anna is thus convicted of involuntary manslaughter, getting four years in prison.


Added DiffLines:

* PrisonRape: Anna suffers this from other inmates. It's portrayed as endemic to the prison, including by the warden, who coerces many inmates into sex in return for favors.
* RapeAsDrama: Anna suffers attempted rape from her stepfather in the beginning, killing him while defending herself, which sends him to prison. Then she's sexually assaulted by other inmates, while the warden coerces her into sex with him too. Rape is portrayed as pretty common in the prison.
