History Film / VikingWolf

* Didn'tThinkThisThrough:
** After locking his keys in his car, Arthur uses his fist to bust the windows of his car in order to get himself and Jenny to safety. This works...until Arthur passes out from blood loss a few minutes later.
** Lars crashes his RV through a store wall in the climax, a possible ShoutOut to Grandpa's scene in Film/TheLostBoys. But instead of being much help, the veteran werewolf hunter suffers severe head trauma from the crash [[spoiler: and easily picked off by the werewolf]].

* RealityEnsues:

** [[spoiler: Liv with the additional attempt to sever the werewolf bloodline by killing Thale, who is permanently transformed.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Lots of Nybo's town residents have been killed by Thale and several others by the werewolf before her. More depressingly, Liv--who has been estranged from her daughter since her husband's death--is forced to possibly shoot her transformed daughter to prevent more killings. And if she spared her, then Thale is permanently a wolf and still out there.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: While the infected victim's senses are heightened, their face takes on wolf-like traits on the night before the full moon. Under the full moon, they will fully transform permanently.

* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler: Liv loads her gun with a silver bullet and reluctantly presses it against Thale, but we are not shown whether she went through with it or not. The last shot is a despondent Liv placing the silver bullet in front of a framed picture of Thale. The camera then ominously zooms in onto the bullet as sinister music builds...]]

** Thale's hallucinations of Elin is a similar scenario to ''An American Werewolf in London.''

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The vikings in the beginning had no idea that the wolf pup they found in a locked vault was in fact a "hound of hell". The wolf killed all the sailors before vanishing into the Norwegian wilderness, kickstarting the plot a thousand years later.

* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler: We are not shown Liv shooting and killing Thale. The scene cuts to black before showing Liv going back to work. The last shot is Liv who despondently places the silver bullet in front of a framed picture of Thale. The camera then ominously zooms in onto the bullet as sinister music builds...]]
* AssholeVictim: Classmate Vidar constantly pokes fun of Thale and even [[KickTheDog condescendingly asks her why she didn't save Elin when she was killed]] while also taunting her bite wound. It's hard to feel sympathy for him when Thale kills him as a wolf.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The werewolf bloodline is severed. But it ended with Thale, who is permanently a wolf. Liv, who has been estranged from her daughter since her husband's death, is forced to shoot her to prevent more killings.]]
* BodyMotifs: Thale has heterochromia, and it even shows in her wolf form. This is how Jenny recognizes her sister.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: In the climax, Jenny tries to remind her transformed sister who she is (see MeaningfulEcho below). Interestingly, Thale ''does'' recognize her sister and calms down, but both attempts were interrupted by a third party.

* TransformationHorror: Aside from a PainfulTransformation, it is shown that the human skin starts to tear off.

* AssholeVictim: Classmate Vidar constantly pokes fun of Thale and even [[KickTheDog condescendingly asks her why she didn't save Eilen when she was killed.]] It's hard to feel sympathy for him when Thale kills him as a wolf.

** Lars unplugs Sheriff Eilert's life support system to prevent his lycanthropy.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Thale's sister, Jenny, tries to remind her transformed sister who she is. Interestingly, it seems to work except that both attempts have been interrupted.

* Fingore: The morning after Thale partially transforms and kills Jonas, she vomits up what she had bitten off...

* NewParentNomenclatureProblem: Thale can't call Arthur "dad" and even expresses a subtle resentment towards him.

* {{Determinator}}: Liv, who had already suffered a fractured wrist and, was willing to put an end to the werewolf curse. Even after she finds out that the last werewolf remaining is her daughter.
