Knife in the Bathtub Scene?


Please be specific :)

She slices his cock off and then keeps it in a jar and eats it for supper the next day

reply

I meant like what type of knife she used in the scene....

I'll be specific in this way: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/20-years-today-lorena-bobbitt-cu ts-husband-penis-case-horrified-fascinated-nation-article-1.1379112

Alright.... it does sound similar, but I don't know if it relates to this or not...

reply

I think it's just a normal kitchen knife. She gets in the bathtub with him, cuts his "you know what" off, and then leaves the room as we hear him screaming in agony. It is very bloody and one of the most disturbing scenes of the film.

Hmm.... well to me, I think it looks like a Boning Knife. Now that I think about it, it has a curved blade like that so it could rank it up as a Boning Knife

A little injoke amid the horror perhaps. i.e. Boning knife. After all one slang word for an erection is boner. You have to wonder if it was an intentional joke or just happened by coincidence.

reply

that was a great scene but I thought it would of worked better as the last killing. He was the leader, it was specifically against his evil penis, the look on her face as she listens to opera with his dying screams in the background- now THAT'S how you end a movie!!

reply

It was a knife that Matthew stole from the butcher's counter in the grocery store. He brought it to her lake home to kill her like he was suppose to after the rape.

never thought of that until I read this thread. I believe it was the same knife.

That's exactly what I thought too! They needed to save this kill for last; as he was the "leader" and deserved the worst kill.

reply

Would HAVE, NOT 'would of' !

Jesus Christ-- to this day, I count that as the most shocking, traumatizing scene I've ever seen in a movie, even though it didn't show anything. All these slasher horror films with their graphic scenes and CGI and everything should take note. This is how true horror is done!

It's a real shame she felt the need to have to do that to him. He was just expressing his natural sexual aggression onto her body - and lets face it, she was a hot smoking babe, who chose to be all alone in the woods, wearing a sexy, skimpy bikini.

The guys were just meting out their normal, natural sexual attentions onto her gorgeous body. She should have just accepted that.

reply

By far the best scene in the movie.

reply

I don't know what type of knife it was but I just want to comment on the fact that he didn't even notice his pole had been cut off until he saw the blood, which is when he started screaming. If someone were to do that in real life, I'm sure YOU'D NOTICE RIGHT AWAY!!! How could he not have noticed???

reply

watch it again. she shoved it up his kiester. he bled out through his rear end.

reply

I really liked her hairdo.

reply

It was magnificent!
