!! The Creator/{{NBC}} show:
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Oh so very much.
** Somewhat justified, as even the real-life profession it portrayed were demanding it die and go away. While EMS providers don't need an excuse to drink, there was actually a drinking game on the JEMS.com forum to make an episode watchable.
** The portrayal of EMS providers in the show was blasted by the fire and EMS community for lack of realism and "giving EMS a bad name."

!! The 2011 video game:
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: The whole experience is highly esoteric and open to interpretation. Even when some elements appear obvious, something else comes along out of the left field. (Bet you didn't expect that opening a completely unnotable wooden crate would result in huge red blood cells emerging and covering half the screen while the woman goes on about getting blood from the stone, did you?)

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Scientific evidence has suggested that it ''is'' actually possible for a severed head to remain alive for a few seconds after being separated from the body. (Speaking and screaming without lungs, however, is not.)

* CryForTheDevil: Okay, so [[spoiler: she definitely took her revenge too far]], but it's hard not to sympathize with the killer's pain. Having to see [[spoiler: your ''newborn child'' decapitated before your eyes by incompetent doctors]] is...[[AdultFear Yikes]].

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize: [[spoiler: Averted with Brad Dourif who is not the killer but DoubleSubverted with Piper Laurie who did do it. Laurie is shown to have been killed early on so viewers would forget about this trope but she is shown to have been FakingTheDead.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: The killer [[spoiler: trying to inflict the pain of her own suffering on others]] became a lot more cringe-inducing when Asia Argento (one of countless women to disclose being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein) was herself accused of sexual assault by actor Jimmy Bennett in Summer 2018.

* VindicatedByHistory: Getting a warmer reception now than it did twenty years ago. People are appreciating the directorial flourishes, the suspense and the identity of the killer.

unfortunate implications need citations.


* UnfortunateImplications: "The Fragile Hour" at first appears to be AnAesop about violence (including both a case of DomesticAbuse and police brutality). When [[NaiveNewcomer Glen]] tells the truth about the police officer, the jaded Nancy defends his actions when it appears he could lose his job over the incident. However, later in the episode, Nancy is attacked by a schizophrenic bum and Glen instinctively becomes violent to protect her, saying afterward that he didn't mean for it to go that far. The episode ends with her answer of, basically: "no one ever does - don't feel bad."
