* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Rex going downstairs on hia own under close videosurveillance just to relieve his cough... And the dumbest thing was that he just began playing a videogame there - as if absolutely nothing had happened. Naturally, it ended with OffWithHisHead.]]
%%* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"Should I kill her now?"]] The extra wham comes in [[spoiler: Who says it.]]

* {{Homage}} / ShoutOut: To ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' per Word Of God. Part of the concept is a dark updating of that film.

** Arguably also [[spoiler: Matt. Think of it, the customers are supposed to know who the real killer is, especially after Danny's death. Yet '''Matt's name is marked alongside other victims on the encrypted site'''. He could at least start to suspect that maybe something just wasn't quite right... Not that any viewer cares about him, of course.]]

''My Little Eye'' is a 2002 British horror film. It is described as ''BigBrother'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Franchise/{{Friday the 13th}}'', which makes the concept of ''DeadSet'', in a way (since that, too, is in the horror genre), [[OlderThanTheyThink older than they think.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After giving Emma her present and overhearing her and Charlie talking about it, Danny hangs himself. And in a deleted scene (just before he hangs himself), Matt, being the ManipulativeBastard that he is, is shown to be encouraging Danny to resort to suicide.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: While it is debatable as to who the other jerks are, Rex is definitely one. Near the end of the film, he becomes a {{Jerk With A Heart Of Gold}} when he figures out what is going on and helps the housemates.

* ManipulativeBastard: Those who set up the so-called competition -- [[spoiler:but Matt especially, who seemed like a nice, "normal", average guy (save for the disturbing little story he shared) at first]].

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After giving Emma her present and overhearing her and Charlie talking about it, Danny hangs himself.]]

* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins]]
* [[spoiler:BlondGuysAreEvil: At first, Matt seems to avert the trope, but then he suffocates Charlie after asking [[BreakingTheFourthWall the audience/The Company,]] "Should I kill her now?"]]

* [[spoiler:CruelTwistEnding]]
* [[spoiler:DeathBySex: Charlie.]]

* [[spoiler:KillEmAll]]

* [[spoiler:{{Murder Dot Com}}/{{Snuff Film}}]]

* [[spoiler:ShootTheShaggyDog]]

However, the stakes are rising as their rations grow shorter, the heat is shut off, and Danny's grandfather dies. Rex thinks that it could be The Company (not to be confused with The Company from [[{{Series/Heroes}} Heroes]], mind), but no one else suspects a thing. Tensions rise, and another mysterious package that has a bottle of champagne and a shotgun appears. Later, a mysterious young man named Travis joins the group for a day, and he and Charlie have sex. Danny is accused of taking Emma's items and makes a gift for her, and that's where things start to go downhill, to put it mildly.

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Matt beheads Rex before the latter plays an {{Evil Dead}} game.]]

* EnforcedMethodActing: [[http://www.slasherama.com/features/mylittleeye.html According to this interview with director Marc Evans,]] the temperature was intentionally left below zero, and Stephen O'Reilly's (Danny) grandfather really did die during filming.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Pretty much makes up the whole cast. Not exactly an {{All Star Cast}}, but...
** As mentioned above, Rex is portrayed by Kris Lemche. You may remember him as [[Film/GingerSnaps Sam]], [[JoanOfArcadia Cute Boy God]], and/or [[FinalDestination Ian McKinley.]]
** Emma is portrayed by Laura Regan. Along with her previous role as Julia from They, she would later star as [[Film/DeadSilence the ill-fated Lisa]] and [[MadMen Jennifer Crane.]]
** Charlie is portrayed by Jennifer Sky (now goes by Jennifer Band). Previously, she portrayed [[XenaWarriorPrincess the Amazon Amarice]] and [[{{Cleopatra2525}} Cleo]].
** Also mentioned above, Danny is portrayed by Stephen O'Reilly. While he does do some acting, he is most known as the lead singer for the band Tammany Hall NYC. (Yeah, you know the "Always On Sunday" song that plays on HBO and "Wait For You" from ''{{Sex And The City}}''? That band played those songs.)
** Matt is portrayed by Sean Cw Johnson. His previous role? [[PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Carter Grayson, the Red Lightspeed Ranger.]]
** Travis is portrayed by Bradley Cooper, who has a great deal of roles, ranging from [[Series/{{Alias}} Will Tippin]] to [[Film/WeddingCrashers Zachary Lodge.]]
** Finally, the cop is portrayed by Nick Mennell, who would later star in two horror film remakes: ''Film/{{Halloween 2007}}'' (as Bob Simms) and ''Film/FridayThe13th2009'' (as Mike).

* PlayingAgainstType: Two examples.
** First off, Bradley Cooper, at that point in time, played nice guy roles such as the aforementioned Will. Here, he portrays Travis. [[spoiler:He ends up being one of the main people in The Company. To put it lightly, they certainly were the ones who did all the twists listed above.]]
** Secondly, Sean Cw Johnson, as mentioned above, plays nice guy/heroic characters like Carter. Here, he doesn't seem to portray against type at first, as Matt is a nice guy despite sharing a creepy story in the beginning of the film. [[spoiler:That is, until he suffocates Charlie and beheads Rex. Oh, and he also attempts to kill Emma. Also, in a deleted scene, Matt [[DrivenToSuicide drives Danny to commit suicide.]]]]

** Emma is portrayed by Laura Regan. Along with her previous role as Julia from They, she would later star as [[DeadSilence the ill-fated Lisa]] and [[MadMen Jennifer Crane.]]
