36----
37!! Henrik Möller's films provide examples of:
38* AssholeVictim: Many of his films end with the extreamly unsympathic protagonists meeting their horrific demise.
39** Subverted in Faces of God and The Cancer Dog to horrific effect.
40* [[CrapsackWorld CrapsackCity]]: Malmö in every single one of the films.
41* DerangedAnimation
42* DroneOfDread: In several of his films after Testbild! started providing music for him.
43* EldritchLocation: The basement in Feed the Light, Malmö in general in the animated films.
44* GallowsHumor
45* GainaxEnding
46* HumansAreBastards
47* MagicalRealism
48* NightmareFuel
49* LemonyNarrator: The raspy, scanian voice of Möller is one of the most notable aspects of his films.
50* ShaggyDogStory
51* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Some of his animated films are idealistic and like fairy tales. But most of them are extreamly cynical.
52* SurrealHorror / Surreal Humor: Möller's films switches between these so fast that you don't know what is coming next. Example is the musical scene in Face of God which comes out of nowhere and is yelled by the Woman in an absurd manner, but the tone of the rest of the short and the imagery makes it almost nausiating.
53* StylisticSuck: The animated films look like a cheap Swedish children's program and looks like it was drawn by a 11 year old.
54* ProductionPosse: Sharing writing and directing duties with Claes Lejonhufvud, Frank & Martin Jirhamn acting and writing. Testbild! providing music.
