History WesternAnimation / DeadSpaceDownfall

* BareYourMidriff: Shen's uniform does this, strangely.

* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Ramirez says to Vincent before he dies.

* RealityIsUnrealistic: The plasma saws don't cauterize injuries like you'd think because the superheated gas would cause an injury quite similar to a bullet wound, leading to the Necromorphs (and [[spoiler: poor Shen]] bleeding like stuck pigs (which we see).

* AxCrazy: Everyone gets this from the Marker eventually, though some take longer to covert than others, and that assumes they live long enough to do so at all.

* AdaptationExpansion: In the game, a recording of Captain Mathius' death is garbled, leaving it ambiguous whether Dr. Kyne stabbed him in the eye unintentionally or did it on purpose. The movie expands upon this and makes it pretty clear that it was an accident.

* DoomedByCanon: Everyone apart from Dr. Kyne.
* DownerEnding: Everyone is killed and the ''Ishimura'' is a death trap.
* EyeScream: In the game, you only saw a video log of it; here, you get to watch Mathius get stabbed in the eye up close. Then it goes ''further'' into this when after he gets impaled in the eye, he falls onto the floor, driving it into his brain.

* ForegoneConclusion: Even when the movie takes a few liberties with the plot, anyone who has knowledge of the game knows how this will end. Everyone dies and the ship is lost to the monster infestation. Even the opening scene lays it all out by showing Vincent's final recording declaring her the only remaining survivor.

** Although the full implications aren't seen until the game, Dr. Kyne's attempts at sabotaging the ship only succeed in making a subsequent protagonist's job much harder than it needed to be.

* KillEmAll: Almost. Only Kyne makes it to the main game. Everyone else, including the protagonist, is dead by the end.

** The Necromorphs shown in the film can be killed by getting cut in half or beheaded. In the source material, doing that couldn't be further away from killing them. The average Slasher can continue to function without its head, and is at least capable of pressing on with both legs amputated.

** Jennifer is in her underwear 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]].

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

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Shen has blue hair.

* DeadpanSnarker: Dobbs, the rookie in Vincent's security team, is snarking all the time.

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.

** Samuel Irons is this among the Unitologists. He single-handedly prevents the croud gathered near the Marker from rioting and later aids Vincent and her team in attempt of containing the situation.

* FlippingTheBird: Vincent gives Matthius a salute with her middle finger, though his back is turned at the time.

* IDontPayYouToThink: This is the response to one character pointing out that the Marker was obviously dumped on an otherwise worthless rock intentionally.

** {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Captain Matthius. When he learns that ''something'' is killing the colonists on Aegis VII, he tries to prevent it from spreading to ''Ishimura'' and refuses Barrow's shuttle to land. While this decision may come off as cold and ruthless, it is actually more sound than Vincent's insistence on helping the people on the planet's surface and those aboard the shuttle. However, other Matthius' actions -- like his obstinacy on delivering the Marker to Earth at all costs -- paint him in much less positive light and make him come off as a crazy fanatic.

** Dobbs saying that he doesn't mind shooting the living dead as long as he gets to shoot something.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Vincent is this to a tragic degree. She insists on trying to help the colonists on Aegis VII when it is revealed they're being slaughtered, eager to render aid to any survivors who might have arrived on the shuttle, and throughout the entire movie she remains convinced that she can still save ''Ishimura'' and her crew (thus [[NiceJobBreakingItHero botching Dr. Kyne's attempt at crashing the ship]]), although it's increasingly obvious that it is too late for that. In any other work of fiction, those actions would come of as reasonable and noble, but this is ''Dead Space'' movie we're talking about. So she only succeeds in making things worse.

%%* ClusterFBomb:

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Suffered by anyone who gets nabbed by a Necromorph.

* FlippingTheBird: Vincent gives Mathius a salute with her middle finger, though his back is turned at the time.

* OnlySaneMan: Kyne, for a given definition of "sane", 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.

* TemptingFate: Lampshaded when Vincent remarks on Hydroponics seeming to be clear:
