A reference to an old urban legend

I've only seen the trailer but the movie looks interesting. Besides, I've been a fan of Tabrett Bethell ever since her breakout role of Mord Sith Cara Mason in, "Legend of the Seeker".

The curious scene that got my attention was that of Tabrett's character waking up in a bathtub of ice, carrying a freshly-stitched vertical incision on her lower abdomen. As far as I know, real-life caesarean patients have never had to lie in a bathtub of ice after the operation. Usually an orderly wheels them back to their rooms.

For those in the know, this is an obvious play on an old 1980s urban legend, that of the young man who hooks up with a beautiful woman at a nightclub, bar, frat party, so forth. Blessing his incredible luck, the young man accompanies the woman to a motel. But things don't go as planned. The young man wakes up in the motel room's bath tub, filled with ice. He had been drugged and doesn't remember anything. An agonizing pain in his back makes him reach behind to discover a long, fresh incision, just recently sutured. One of his kidneys has been stolen. Today the urban legend is attributed to muddled stories about illicit organ sales on the black market, true or not. But hey, who knows? Three weeks ago the local newspaper carried a story about some teenage boy in China - still living at home - who actually sold one of his kidneys for the money to purchase an iPad. Go figure that one, especially his mother's response.

Here we see a fictional urban legend, that of a young woman waking up in a bath tub of ice, a sutured incision on her body, but instead of a kidney stolen, her unborn 8 to 9 month old baby. By the way, a caesarean incision is supposed to be horizonal, left to right, not vertical. The incision shown in the trailer appears to be a vertical one. The incision is also way too high. The horizonal incision would be located halfway between the navel and pubic area. Still for a fictional thriller movie, this is pretty scary.
