Tropes for the film:

  • Character Title: Jennifer 8.
  • Code Name: There's no character called Jennifer in the film. it refers to the unidentified eighth victim.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted, and also a key plot point: Freddy Ross (Lance Henriksen) realises the Serial Killer is colleague John Taylor has calls him only by his first name before he's killed... solidifying others' (wrong) suspicions that newcomer John Berlin is the killer.
  • Passed-Over Promotion: Part of the conflict between John Berlin and John Taylor is that Taylor was passed over for promotion in order to make room for Berlin.
  • Tagline: "On the trail of a serial killer, Det. John Berlin has no clues. No suspects. And no alibi".
