* HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler:Spider-Man]] is TheGhost and never makes a direct appearance in spite of being [[spoiler:Venom’s]] archenemy. In 2018, [[spoiler:[[Film/Venom2018 the official Venom movie]] got ''a lot'' of criticism for doing something very similar; [[AdaptedOut excising Spider-Man entirely]] from Venom’s origin. To this film's credit, however, Spidey is at least ''acknowledged'' by it as someone who exists and is important to Eddie's backstory; the Sony film couldn't even do ''that''.]]

* SpecialEffectsFailure: While [[spoiler:Venom]] himself looks pretty damn good (especially for a fan-made production), the CGI on his [[spoiler:CombatTentacles]] [[ConspicuousCGI is pretty dodgy]]. Fortunately they’re not on-screen for very long.

Hell Is That Noise is not YMMV.


* HellIsThatNoise: During the climax, the boom mic gets smashed by [[spoiler:Venom]], causing the rest of the dialogue and music to be replaced with a terrifying muffled drone that practically bores into your ears.

Added DiffLines:

* AwesomeMusic: Glenn Frey’s “[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MeBIRT6x6wM You Belong To The City]]” fits ''amazingly'' well.
* ContinuityLockOut: Not to an extreme degree, but a lot of the [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] and [[MythologyGag Mythology Gags]] will fly right over your head if you’re not well-versed in [[spoiler:Franchise/MarvelUniverse]] lore.
* FridgeHorror: When Eddie spies a pair of junkies shooting up outside his apartment, he takes a moment to talk - in his usual vaguely threatening way - about how harmful drugs are. When the film crew visits his apartment the next day, the male junkie is missing and the female one [[ThousandYardStare looks like she’s seen something utterly horrible]]...
* HellIsThatNoise: During the climax, the boom mic gets smashed by [[spoiler:Venom]], causing the rest of the dialogue and music to be replaced with a terrifying muffled drone that practically bores into your ears.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler:Spider-Man]] is TheGhost and never makes a direct appearance in spite of being [[spoiler:Venom’s]] archenemy. In 2018, [[spoiler:[[Film/Venom2018 the official Venom movie]] got ''a lot'' of criticism for doing something very similar; [[AdaptedOut excising Spider-Man entirely]] from Venom’s origin.]]
* MoralEventHorizon: After the mugging scene, Eddie’s antics ''immediately'' stop being silly.
* NightmareFuel: The entire climax, with [[spoiler:Venom tearing the film crew apart one by one.]]
** The whole mugging sequence, where Eddie lets a guy get stabbed to death before savagely murdering his attackers. Especially the part where the victim is shown vomiting up blood as he dies.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The portrayal of [[spoiler:Venom]] as a ruthless, unsympathetic {{Jerkass}} isn’t so much an AlternativeCharacterInterpretation as it is [[TruerToTheText sticking closer]] to his original portrayal in the comics, prior to CharacterizationMarchesOn.
* OneSceneWonder: [[spoiler:Bullseye and the LargeHam filmmakers following him around in TheStinger.]]
* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler:The symbiote doesn’t just wrap around Eddie like in the comics. Here, he stores inside himself and has to ''vomit it out''.]]
* SpecialEffectsFailure: While [[spoiler:Venom]] himself looks pretty damn good (especially for a fan-made production), the CGI on his [[spoiler:CombatTentacles]] [[ConspicuousCGI is pretty dodgy]]. Fortunately they’re not on-screen for very long.
** There are some ''really'' obvious jumpcuts when [[spoiler:Bullseye]] throws his weapons.
* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Venom]] looks ''scarily'' good when he reveals himself in the climax.
* TheWoobie: The mugging victim that Eddie lets die for the sake of a story.
