- Captain Obvious Reveal: The film makes it painfully clear that Dr. Fury is involved with the murders by showing stitching on Anton Weiss' leg as a sign of being treated in the field... stitching that is obviously medical, with one whole doctor on the site.
- Catharsis Factor: In the movie, the killer Haden getting blown into the storm is pretty cool and satisfying.
- Complete Monster: Russell Haden is an Australian biologist who, along with Anton Weiss, John Mooney, Michael Rubin and Dr. John Fury, uncovers diamonds that they plan to smuggle out of Antarctica, only for Haden to decide to resort to murder to keep them all for himself. Haden uses an ice ax to brutally murder Weiss; cuts Mooney's throat and then harshly stabs him again; and then hunts down and breaks Rubin's neck. On multiple occasions, he tries to kill US Marshal Carrie Stetko to keep her from interfering and taunts her after one of those attempts results in her getting frostbite and losing two fingers. After he escapes, he wounds and nearly kills pilot Delfy and attempts to abandon everyone still left on the base for the whole winter, including Fury, to flee for his life. He also tries to kill UN agent Robert Bryce when he tries to protect Carrie.
