People who've seen this: what's your opinion on the eye-gouging scene? Was it a corpse or prosthetics?
Now if you should want to call me, use this number. This other one is the old number.

I read that Lindberg said they used a real cadaver for the shots. Gross!

Hmm, straight down the middle, it seems! Thanks for the replies, folks. I'll keep an eye on the thread for the tie-breaker.

Cadaver it wouldnt be the first time
shareIts a cadaver. Watch it closely --- if you really WANT to, that is --- and you'll believe it. The pressure of the blade pushes the eye inwards, tugging on the eyelids. The eyelashes are extremely convincing as well. The kicker is when one observes the surface of the eye, which SHOULD be wet, yet has an obvious coating of dust on it. I think the dust is likely makeup powder, left there after the face was made up for the shot.
shareYeah, I definitely think it's a cadaver. I mean, you can just tell it's the real thing when you see the scalpel poke the eyeball. Normally I'd be repulsed, but I actually thought the effect was... well, effective. :)

I have known Christina for over 20 years (and her late spouse Bosse as well), and she confirmed years ago it's a real corps they used. Not only that, it was shot in the morgue at on of the big hospitals in Stockholm without any permission at all!! The director knew someone working there, and payed him well so they could sneak in at night time and shot the close up of the eye!
DP-70, can you please send an email to [email protected] so I get your email address? I would like to ask you something which I can't ask here. Thanks alot!
shareYeah...considering the fact that the shotgun blast wounds weren't really impresive at all ...it's definately (sp ?) a real eye.

Well Guido,
I sent you an e-mail a week or so after your request. Havn't heard anything yet, so I guess it wasn't that important!
