* NightmareFuel: Hugo's cruel treatment of his cats, which does not appear to be simulated in any way, can be very unsettling to many viewers, especially cat owners.

* CompleteMonster: Hugo, disturbed playboy SerialKiller, routinely stalks the women of Acapulco in his helicopter, seducing them and bringing them to his mansion whereupon he strangles and kills them. Hugo, as an avid collector in the fashion of his ancestors, keeps the [[CreepySouvenir heads]] of his victims in glass cases in his basement, feeding the rest to his pen of ravenous cats—saving the bits he [[ImAHumanitarian eats himself]]. Hugo further murders a doctor in fury who causes him to lose one of his victims, and even tosses his loyal servant Dorgo to his death for [[DisproportionateRetribution beating him in chess]].

* NightmareRetardant: As pointed out in virtually every review, cats aren't particularly scary, even when there's a thousand of them. If anything, the treatment of said animals is far more horrifying.
