* Jeremy Melton/Adam Carr is a combination of this trope and ParanoiaFuel. On the one hand he's intelligent, convincing, good at keeping a polite facade, doesn't break under pressure (he even does a convincing job of ''pretending'' to crack), but has no compunctions about enacting a killing spree over a crime against him that barely anyone remembers.

* Adam behaves increasingly unstable over the film's last few minutes due to apparently going on a bender, where we see why Kate was hesitant about going back to him as he shifts from asking politely, to mildly threatening, to placating. While this particular episode appears to have been PlayingDrunk due to being able to shoot and his more calculated murders throughout the third act, it offers a lot of speculation as to how much of his drunken behavior was an act or even the embittered Jeremy personality leaking back in.

* [[spoiler: Paige's death in the hot tub; the killer traps her in the hot tub and starts stabbing at her with the drill as she struggles for air. After stabbing her in the shoulder, the killer just throws the power drill into the hot tub, electrocuting her. The original version of this scene had her skin melting off.]]
* [[spoiler: Ruthie's]] death by having her head dropped on a large shard of glass. This one is accompanied by a SickeningCrunch. Unlike most of the other victims, the killer didn't have a beef with her, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time by walking in on the killer while he was DisposingOfABody.
* [[spoiler:Gary's death]] is quite brutal even though he's an AssholeVictim; the killer finds he's broken into Kate's apartment, picks up an iron, then burns his face with the iron and [[BludgeonedToDeath keeps hitting him]]. The uncut footage has the killer just hitting him over and over again (offscreen) until the scene changes.
