Moving to YMMV.
Added DiffLines:
* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's never made obvious what kind of mental diagnosis the killer has, but he spends most of the film mute, even in his childhood. And his mother and sister appear to think there's something wrong with him mentally. He does display a clear psychosis, as evidenced by his hallucinations of the Skull Boy. He also shows traits of sadistic personality disorder, seeing how he laughs as he mercilessly hacks his victims to pieces while they're alive.

"Unfortunate Implications" is now Flame Bait.

* UnfortunateImplications: One [[https://letterboxd.com/mmmonty/film/headless-2015/ reviewer]] points out the misogynistic themes of the movie besides the senseless violence.
-->The film alternates between scenes of extreme gore and flashbacks to the killer's childhood when his mother and sister tortured him for their amusement. The jejune attempts at psychology feel like the fever dream of some Men's Rights Activist whose biggest fear is the castrating Medusa.

Darkness Induced Audience Apathy was renamed.
Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The movie's about a revolting SerialKiller who keeps having flashbacks to his abusive childhood. And none of the other minor characters are very likable, except for Jess and Maggot. So it's pretty easy to lose much care for what happens to anyone in the movie.

* {{Narm}}: LOTS. It is, after all, a grindhouse homage. Namely, Shane Beasley's overacting when he's hacking into victims or raping their severed heads, as well as the scene towards the end where he hallucinates his mother's severed head calling him a "fucking freak" as he penetrates it.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The movie goes out of its way to show how fucked-up the life of our protagonist really is, living a sheltered childhood with a horribly abusive mother and an equally nasty sister with incestuous tendencies. Shane Beasley, who plays the killer, has even gone on record to explain that he's not exactly as thrilled about his murders as he appears to be, and instead yearns for normal love. However, given the utter savagery of his killings and how forced the abuse sequences are, it's really tough to feel all that sorry for him.
