1	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: With the exception of Doom-Head, who seems to take his persona very seriously, it's not totally clear if the Heads' personas actually reflect their real identities, or if the owners of Murder World just expect an over-the-top performance along with the killing.
2	** Given how little we know of the rest of the Heads some of them might have been contestants once. And some of them could have been forced to compete like the current contestants.
3	*** This is actually jossed; the ending explicitly states that they have never had someone survive and Napoleon was unsure of how to handle the situation.
4	** More for the movie itself. It wouldn't be too out of place for the movie to be set in the same universe as ''Film/TheDevilsRejects''.
5	* CompleteMonster: Father Napoleon Horatio Silas Murder, Sister Dragon, and Sister Serpent are the twisted "{{aristocrats\|Are Evil}}" who run [[DeadlyGame "Murder World"]]. Having innocents abducted and led into their own personal hell, they proceed to watch as the vicious [[AxCrazy Heads]] tear them apart for the amusement of the aristocrats who place bets on the outcome. With a legacy of murder and a staple of killers, the aristocrats are not above particularly sadistic flourishes such as setting out a feast for the contestants made from the remains of one of their fallen comrades. Even winning the game is no guarantee of survival, with an implication that Father Murder will have any victor killed anyways to protect their activities from being discovered by law enforcement.
6	* EnsembleDarkhorse: In case it wasn't obvious from the rest of this page, Doom-Head is by far the most popular character in the movie.
7	* EvilIsCool: Any scene featuring Doom-Head is quite possibly the best part of the entire movie. Even Creator/BradJones stated that Richard Brake plays a much more disturbing [[Comicbook/TheJoker Joker]] than Creator/JaredLeto in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' (despite Brake having already played a personal Batman baddy as the killer of Bruce's parents, Joe Chill, in ''Film/BatmanBegins'').
8	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Richard Brake is ''mesmerizing'' as Doom-Head. Why doesn't this guy have a bigger career already?
9	* JustHereForGodzilla: Doom-Head.
10	* SignatureScene: Doom-Head's monologue at the beginning was heavily featured in marketing and shows off the best of Richard Brake's performance.
11	* SpiritualAdaptation: As a horror film about people being kidnapped by wealthy sickos and forced to fight for survival in a DeadlyGame in which they're hunted by creatively-dressed psychopaths in grimy mazes, this is the best ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'' movie ever made, albeit without that game's SnuffFilm element.
12	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Richard Brake as Doom-Head gives far and away the best performance of the film, making the movie suddenly rivetingly enjoyable whenever he shows up.
