History Film / HeNeverDied

* DisposingOfABody: After Jack attacks Ben, his noisy and irritating neighbor, he's next seen dumping a rather heavy and suspiciously body-shaped trash bag into a dumpster. Oddly, this scene in the trailer comes right after a shot of Steve tied up in the bathroom, implying that it's ''Steve'' that's being disposed. of.

* TabletopGame/{{Bingo}}: Jack goes to the bingo game at the local church at least three times a week. He only plays two cards at time though, since he doesn't like to have to keep track of more than that. [[spoiler:It's a sign of his growing agitation when he's later seen playing with at least thirty cards.]]

* IneffectualLoner: Jack tries to keep to himself, but circumstances prevent that.

* CashLure: Jack deliberately drops a hefty sum of cash on the sidewalk as he walks past some unsavory looking fellows, in an effort to provoke them into stealing it so he could justify beating them up. It doesn't work the way he planned when one of them picks up the cash and politely gives it back to him.

--> Andrea: "Seriously? Someone shot you? With a gun?"
--> Jack: "That's how you get shot."

* NoSell: Jack punches the man with the goatee in the face as hard as he can, but succeeds only in hurting his own hand. Jack himself has shrugged off beatings, stabbings, and repeated gunshot wounds with only mild annoyance throughout the film to this point.

* OffTheWagon: Jack needs to eat human flesh in order to maintain his sanity but he is addicted to the eating of flesh from living or freshly killed people. He tries to stay "clean" by only eating the flesh of medical cadavers and only the minimal amount he needs. When the thugs try to kill him one too many times, he snaps kills one and eats his flesh. After that he is constantly struggling to not attack and eat people around him.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Cara seems to think that Jack is a vampire. Other than immortality and feeding on humans, Jack doesn't have much in common with traditional vampire lore. Cara asks why he doesn't have "the teeth," and Jack asks, "Why would I need them?" Indeed, Jack doesn't suck blood, he just eats human flesh, and human teeth are perfectly suitable for it. Given his statement that he impaled thousands of people in Wallachia just to watch them die, it's implied that he was Count Vlad "Dracula" Tepes, the historical inspiration for the legendary vampire, so there's that]].

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler: Alex]] is at least partly aware of what Jack can do but he skill decides to try to get revenge on Jack.

** Jeremy borrows money from a loan shark to pay off his student loans. He trades a low interest loan from a reputable bank for a high interest loan from a criminal. If he had trouble paying off his student loans, he would never be able to pay off the much bigger debt to the loan shark and a bank is less likely to sent two thugs to work your over.
** Most of the mooks that try to kill Jack are way too eager to stick around even after they see what he is capable of. A smart criminal would have made a run for it after seeing Jack take a shotgun blast to the chest and be unfazed. These guys decide to taunt and insult Jack instead. Steve is the only one to wise up and very politely cooperates with Jack once he realizes just how screwed he is.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: The man with the goatee demonstrates a super creepy one with his only spoken word.

** Also, a passing reference of being in China during the Civil War was, according to WordOfGod, a subtle reference that Jack was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish Albert Fish]].
