History WesternAnimation / DeadSpaceDownfall

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. Pendleton may be black, and he may have gotten killed relatively quickly, but he's atill not the first person of the FiveManBand to bite it. Hell, he's not even the first person in the ''movie'' to die on-screen.

* HeyItsThatVoice: It's kind of hard to take Captain Mathius' spiraling insanity seriously when he sounds like ''[[Disney/WinnieThePooh Tigger]]'' half the time and the other half, like ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. Pendleton May fit many of the tropes for the ScaryBlackMan (albeit one of the good guys), but he's not the first person of the FiveManBand to bite it. Hell, he's not even the first person in the ''movie'' to die on-screen.

* FanDisservice: A young woman wearing only a towel is seen being stabbed and killed [[NippleAndDimed without the towel so much as coming undone.]] What we do get to see is a fat man's fully uncensored penis.

* OffModel: The health bars are almost never consistent, let alone move down.

** And before that, we get to see one of the Aegis VII colonists in her underwear. {Squick While walking across broken glass, complete with a close-up on the shards digging into her bare feet.} And that's not counting the bloody lacerations across her arms, legs, and torso. Or the way that she claws at her own flesh. Or her DissonantSerenity the ''whole damn time.'' [[DrivenToSuicide Oh, and then she slashes her own throat with a laser pick.]]

** Captain Mathius holds onto it pretty tightly. Then again, he is a Unitologist, and going crazy.

* OnlySaneMan: Kyne, and to a lesser extent Vincent. Both are the only two characters to remain completely rational throughout the film. Vincent gets a lower rank because she's a bit too GenreBlind for her own good (or that of others). She only comes to her senses after having sabotaged Kyne's first attempt, and by then it's too late.

'''''Dead Space: Downfall''''' is a Direct-to-Video {{Prequel}} to ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' set in the ''Franchise/DeadSpace'' universe. It goes into detail about what happend onboard the ''USG Ishimura'' and the state it is in when Isaac and the player reach it at the beginning of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''.

The Red Marker is brought onboard the ''Ishimura''. Meanwhile the colony on Aegis VII is attack by Necromorphs. One of the colonists escapes with the corpse of his dead wife and heads to the ''Ishimura'', unaware that [[ZombieInfectee his wife is turning into a Necromorph]]. Onboard the ''Ishimura'' the Unitologists want to worship the Marker, and start to otherwise go insane.

* AccidentalMurder: Doctor Kyne's attempt to sedate Captain Mathius goes ''horribly'' wrong, ending with the Captain dying. The crew members (who had been restraining Mathius after agreeing with Kyne's assertion he was unfit for duty) wonder aloud whether or not it really was an accident; Kyne flees the bridge before he can be detained.

** Dr. Kryne played a fairly small part in the first game, but here he's treated more like a main character.

* ChainsawGood: Irons uses a plasma chainsaw in a BigDamnHeroes moment. As it's far more effective than their pistols, the security team trades up in kind.

* ContinuitySnarl: The movie timeline runs much faster than is implied to have happened in the game; the game's audio logs suggest the SanitySlippage took days to manifest alongside the Necromorphs. Other differences include the Marker being much larger and the Necromorphs being unable to approach it. [[spoiler: Though that may be because it has use for Vincent]]

* EyeScream: In the games, you only saw a video log of it; in the movie, you get to watch Mathius get stabbed in the eye up close. Then it goes ''further'' into this trope when after he gets impaled in the eye, he falls onto the floor, driving it into his brain.

** TheHero -- Vincent

** TheSmartGuy -- Ramirez
** TheBigGuy -- Pendleton
** TheChick -- Shen
** TheSixthRanger -- Dobbs

* {{Gorn}}: Prerequisite for a ''Franchise/DeadSpace'' tie-in.

* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Ramirez, to Vincent.

* SanitySlippage: Affects some '''[[AxCrazy waaay]]''' more than others.

* FootFocus: A rather [[{{Squick}} squicky]] one occurs when Jen steps on glass.

* Unwittingpawn: Vincent ends up napping against the Marker, so it manipulates her into making sure more people come looking for the ''Ishimura''.
