It's a dark night indeed.
- The first half of the film is arguably the most terrifying: it presents an entirely plausible scenario where a family is held hostage by a pair of desperate criminals, one of whom may well be a serial rapist and murderer. By contrast, the second half is all action/horror. Though bloody and gruesome, it is practically a relief when compared to the tension of the first half.
- The fate of Pete Bottoms, the liquor store clerk: being held hostage while being forced to act as if nothing is happening, having someone shot in the head right in front of him, being shot for warning a cop when he wasn't even trying to do that, and then being burned alive along with his shop.
- Seth leaves Richard alone with a female hostage. Seth returns and witnesses the result. It's made all the worse by the split-second flashes of the aftermath...
- "Do you wanna come over on the bed and watch tv with me?". Richie telling the hostage to lay on the bed and watch cartoons with him looks innocent (at first, given his mental capacity). By the time Seth returns, she is already raped and murdered.
- It gets worse in the show. In the film Richie shoots the hostage, but there's a pillow over her head. In the series, he cuts her eyes out.
- When Kate Fuller says "Richie, could you eat my pussy for me, please?", a disturbing realization is made. Before this point, one could've made an argument that Richie was simply being overly paranoid with the other people he's killed. But this scene up and reveals that his mind is able to hallucinate people saying things they actually aren't in reality. Meaning that he wasn't intentionally lying to Seth when he made those claims. Kind of makes you wonder if he even truly realizes he raped those women.
- Very briefly when the Fullers are taken hostage we see Kate from Richie's perspective, who uncharacteristically starts begging Richie to "eat my pussy." Just to drive the point home, the angle is intentionally shot distorted. If there were any doubts about how messed up in the head Richie is, this pretty much clinches it.
- The "Feeding Time" scene where all the hookers reveal their Game Faces as vampires and attack the bar patrons can be jarring for those not expecting it. A lot of movie goers certainly were not expecting this. One even outright asking "The hell kinda flick is this?!"
- Notable parts include: Santanico face morphing into a serpentine look. Oddly, her look starts with her head suggesting a cobra's with her hair merged with her skin and then she shifts to a more streamlined bald-headed look (likely so Salma could still move her head for the scene).
- Her attacking and killing Richie before she's knocked off him.
- Razor Charlie and the other men's seemingly dead corpses suddenly reanimating back to life and roaring as hungry vampires.
- One of the hookers barring the door claiming "Dinner...is served" while her face turns more bat-like.
- The band likewise turning vampiric and using human parts as their instruments as they play through the chaos.
- One unfortunate patron getting his neck sliced open from his vampire hooker, one hooker behind a shadow screen holding the head of another patron above her and drinking the blood pouring from its mouth, the hooker who tries to attack Frost that, unlike the others, doesn't go full bump face but the animated snake like eyes on her still make it unsettling.
- Chet Pussy trying to eat Kate only to have a golden crucifix necklace shoved into his mouth, causing him to convulse into smoke and green blood before expelling gore through both his eye sockets and dropping to the floor as a charred skeletal corpse.
- The closeup shots of the vampires' Nightmare Face as they devour the patrons.
- And finally Seth shooting at Santanico and her popping up unscathed and angry. She promptly knocks him to the floor and proclaims her as her new "dog" ending with the chilling line "Welcome to slavery". Luckily her monologuing gives Seth time to reload his gun and fire at the chandelier above them, dropping it on her.
- Richie suddenly turning into a vampire on Seth after he genuinely expresses love for his brother. It's so sudden and the effects really help with the shock.
- Likewise, Sex Machine turning after he gets bitten in the arm. As seen from his perspective, it just kinda happens... He loses his hearing for a moment, a demonic voice tells him to kill the others. Next thing he knows he has fangs and his hands turn into claws much to his horror. What really makes this horrific is that for a moment it looks like he still has his sense of self. He hides his hands behind his back and the scene focus on Frost. While Frost is still talking, Sex Machine suddenly rises behind him, completely vamped, and bites him without warning or any qualms about attacking his former ally. The same can be said of Frost, who gains his vamp face almost immediately.
- The whole experience of being trapped in a a nest of vampires makes you kinda dread what else the Titty Twister could be host to...
- Well in the series, it's a prison for Demons, to whom the vampires were slaves!
- The end shot zooms out to show that the bar itself is the top of an Aztec temple embedded in a cliff, and it is absolutely covered in wrecks of trucks. It shows that the events of the night were just the last in a very very long line of nights just like it, only with no survivors, undead or alive.
