  • Adaptation Displacement: It's a pretty obscure film, but it's still better-known than the original novel by Richard Miles.note 
  • Jerkass Woobie:
    • Frances is extremely creepy, but clearly bears some serious emotional wounds from her domineering parents.
    • The Boy also comes from a messed-up family, but his continuing to manipulate Frances via his mute act starts to seem cruel after a while.
