YMMV / Welcome to Hoxford

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • Gordon Baker is the warden of the titular asylum, and is in actuality the leader of a savage pack of werewolves. Deposing his own father as alpha and keeping him locked in a dark room while keeping up the appearance he's still subordinate, every month Baker and his pack slaughter and consume all the patients at Hoxford at their own merriment, repeating the process with every batch that comes in. Baker spitefully locks an otherwise innocent psychiatrist named Jessica Ainley within Hoxford during the night of the hunt after she refuses to leave and soon after sets about gruesomely slaughtering everyone he can find. Baker personally captures a cannibal named Gravy and psychotic protagonist Ray, delightfully noting the irony of a cannibal being consumed and instructing Ray himself to devour a still-living Gravy once he expresses kinship with the werewolves with an air of amusement.
    • The Old Man was the alpha of the werewolf pack who savagely hunted humans in Russia. Upon the near-eradication of their race, the Old Man formed a corporation and facilitated the transfer to America, building Hoxford so he and his brethren could hunt in peace. With the necessary bribes to have criminals transferred, the Old Man would then have his pack hunt them for sport every full moon. Upon being overthrown by his son Gordon Baker, the Old Man later tricks Dr. Jessica Ainley into helping him escape, promising to kill her last as a "gift". Upon gaining his freedom, he kills his son himself, before taking his place again at the head of the pack and vowing to continue the hunts.
  • Crazy Is Cool: Ray, to the point that it crosses into Power Born of Madness.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: The fact that the for-profit prison is used as a People Farm by literal predators putting up a front of We Care isn't the subtlest of metaphors. However, it's blunted by the fact that these are the worst of the worst prisoners being subjected to this kind of treatment.
