Hatchet for the Honeymoon - Nails in the Coffin

Published 2024-03-01
- I evaluate a victim’s response to a life-threatening situation based on a rating system I've coined as "Nails in the Coffin." When someone is killed on-screen, their actions and decisions determine the number of "Nails" they receive. If they exhibit tremendous resilience and make judicious choices, they can earn a commendable Four Nails in the Coffin. However, if they make inexplicable blunders or engage in imprudent actions, such as freezing in place or opting to run upstairs instead of seeking safety outside, I find it appropriate to assign just One Nail in the Coffin.
If the victim stood no chance of survival no matter what they could have done, I could give them 2 Nails in the Coffin.

With Great Kills, There Must Also Come...Great Nails!

  • It pleases me so much that you're covering these giallos! Mario Bava had such an artistic eye for film, his flicks are always a rewarding watch! I think many films take inspiration from this one! I need to watch it again; it's been too long! Marvelous dive into this classic!

    Pretty decent nail ratings for these folks! Really hope you will be covering The Red Queen Kills 7 Times as that was a fun one I discovered a few years back. Have a great weekend, UP!
