* The flashback to what happened with Armstong's final surgery. He's slurring an admonishment to a nurse who asks if he's all right and then some orderlies wheel a body through, covered by a sheet that is soaked in blood. Yikes.

* Wargrave's suicide at the end of the final episode is a perfect portrayal of a psychopath. After ensuring Vera's death, the murderer closes the door on her and picks up Lombard's gun. Making his way downstairs, Wargrave callously steps over Blore's body, showing his content and lack of empathy for his victims. He shows little to no emotion as he sets the table to make it look like another person was there, even when he loads the bullet that will end his life into the gun. The only emotion he shows is just before the final act, when he picks up his wine glass. Before his final drink, Wargrave looks across the table at "U.N. Owen's" chair and the statues of the Ten Little Soldiers and grins ever so subtly as if to say "Yes, I did that!" Then, with almost no hesitation, he proceeds to blow his own brains out, not only to conceal his crimes, but to avoid execution or a slow, protracted death from his cancer. In other words this is a villain who not only succeeded with his plan, but in the end got everything he wanted.
* The last forty seconds of the series. First, we see the still smoking gun resting on the table, where the detectives will think Mr Owen left it. We are then treated to a close-up of the dead Wargrave's face, the victorious villain whose blood is now dripping down his body onto the floor. Finally, we see get a wide shot of the island, fading into the distance, knowing that ''nobody'' is left on it.

* Vera's fate is slightly different from the book, where she simply breaks down and hangs herself. Here, she manages to see Wargrave entering the room and to balance herself on the chair she has just kicked away, which leaves her pleading for few minutes while gasping for air. The most horrifying moment has her trying to convince Wargrave to go along with her plan of framing Lombard by telling him [[WhamLine "They believed me last time"]], thus confirming that she did indeed let Cyril drown.

* The increasing ParanoiaFuel in general is expertly portrayed in this adaptation, as for the better part of 3 hours you are kept on edge waiting for the next murder to occur.

* Blore's sudden hallucination of [[JumpScare the bear rug coming to life]]. Made worse in that it's the last thing he ever sees.

* The murder that Blore committed is only shown briefly, but it is horrifying. He didn't shoot Landor, or hit him with a truncheon--he shut the door to the cell and ''kicked him to death''. When Blore eventually does accept the guilt and admit his crime, he himself says that he "stomped him to a pulp" and the body was so bloody that they wouldn't allow his mother to see it. (For extra FridgeHorror, Blore's fellow officers must have been fully aware what he'd done and covered for him.)
