    • Daddy also counts.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse : Roach
  • Fridge Horror: Mommy told Alice in the middle of the movie "You kids will be the death of me." Later at the end of the film The kids under the stairs attack Mommy, Fool blows up the house that kills Daddy, and Alice stabs Mommy.
  • Fridge Logic: When the police search the house, how did they not notice what must have been dozens of large bullet holes in the walls?
  • The Woobie: If anyone is set up to be this, it's Alice.
    • Roach, when he gets shot.
