* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's not clear whether Karl is mentally retarded or autistic, nor to what extent his social and intellectual deficits are innate as opposed to the result of a childhood of abuse and neglect combined with an adulthood spent in an institution for the criminally insane. The fact that Karl can read and write adequately and has mechanical skills suggests autism with some savant-like traits.

* NightmareFuel: The climax of the film. During the HopeSpot, Daniel Lanois, with the track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEvhyxqJt8g "Orange Kay,"]] paints a picture of inner turmoil merged with terrifyingly righteous wrath as Karl contemplates murdering Doyle ForTheGreaterGood. Lanois' angry instrumentation leads with distorted guitar as Karl walks around Millsberg in full knowledge of the gravity of his situation and of the danger to his new-found loved ones. The fuel becomes more potent with HellIsThatNoise, as the wailing guitars reach their peak on the point of Karl's final decision, symbolizing the peak of his rage just before his enters Doyle's house for the final scene. Inside, the guitars lower to a bubbling froth-like texture, then [[NothingIsScarier cut out entirely when]] [[spoiler:Karl chops Doyle's head open]].
