Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Memetic Mutation: An animated GIF showing the Butcher's slow creep towards the English woman has wound up on the Paranormal board of a certain well-known Image Board.
Moral Event Horizon: The Water Street Butcher's killings are largely standard fare for a Serial Killer movie, but the graphic physical and mental torture that he inflicts on his "slave" is freakin' terrifying.
Narm: The killer's angry growling (especially in the Mind Rape scenes) can be somewhat jarring.
Paranoia Fuel: The film encourages the notion that the killer's vanity means he's probably right there in the theater watching it with you.
"At any given time, there are somewhere between 25 and 50 active serial killers in America alone. It it really a much bigger problem than most people realize."
Uncanny Valley: Cheryl's latex mask that he forces her to wear.
Wangst: We know your life was ruined thanks to your dad getting framed by the killer, guy, but seriously complaining about 9/11 pulling attention away from his exoneration? Really?
