* {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, which is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the people around him calling him Frankenstein as a nickname. Much like the doomed scientist of Shelley's book, he is determined to create a new form of life through corpses, though Logan uses the whole body for his experiments, while Victor stole parts to create his monster.









* EyeScream: Gets his eye torn out as he's DevouredByTheHorde.






* ItCanThink: Bub is revealed to be much smarter than his fellow zombies, and Logan takes an interest in him as he demonstrates that he can remember shaving, reading a book, and listening to music. [[spoiler: He eventually uses a gun to take revenge on Rhodes for killing Logan.]]

* AFatherToHisMen: Zig-Zagged big time, he balks once he learns Logan has been feeding Bub bits of his men's corpses, but [[DirtyCoward abandons his men in order to save his own skin]]. [[spoiler: It doesn't do much good though.]]

* LargeHam: Pilato was clearly having a ball playing this role, though it's also [[JustifiedTrope justified]] according to [[WordOfStPaul him]], since he was attempting to portray someone who was clearly losing his mind and he felt his performance reflected that.



* VillainousValour:For all his assholish and dominating attitude, Capt. Rhodes does go out like a total psycho badass. "Choke on 'em!''

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Logan is definitely...off and spends more time doing his experiments on civilizing zombies.



* LackOfEmpathy: Does not care at all about dissecting the corpses of the fallen soldiers protecting him, even if they were all {{Jerkass|jerks}} to him.

* AlasPoorVillain: PlayedWith. While the guy's a grade-A AssholeVictim, his death is played somewhat somberly. It's clear he doesn't want to kill himself, but he also doesn't want to be DevouredByTheHorde, so he does what he must.



* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He was a grade A prick, but damn...getting eaten alive is still a nasty way to go.

Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: The zombie apocalypse has clearly taken its toll on his sanity, and it eventually turns him into a monster who doesn't care who gets hurt as long as he survives.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyShouting: He's rather prone to this, especially when his authority is challenged.


Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: The apocalypse has taken a toll on his sanity, and his audio recordings suggest that he's completely lost it.

* SanitySlippage: He becomes more and more unstable throughout the film. After he's bitten and Sarah cuts off his arm in an effort to save him, he completely snaps, and commits suicide by zombie, letting himself be DevouredByTheHorde while simultaneously letting the zombie horde into the complex.
