- Always kill the cat. No psychopathic character is complete without animal abuse.
- If someone breaks into your house, do NOT look for a formidable weapon. Instead, punch a hole into glass and, with your bare hands, use a 6-inch shard as a "weapon".
- Always stick your hands into holes, especially if a serial killer is on the other side of the hole.
- When in doubt, stick a knitting needle into your throat. That always helps.
- Do NOT, under any circumstance, practice self-preservation.

- Women live with lots of needles in their houses, long scissors among other blades and assorted articles.
- Said needles are always around just in case you need them.
- The human body contains around 50 galons of blood.
- Getting stabbed or shot in the head is no big deal.
- French policemen can hear gun shots inside a car, but can't hear the screams of agony of a wounded partner a couple of meters from them.
- Bandages, fixing the light and other assorted stuff is always more important than tracking the location of a serial killer.
- Even after a severe blood loss, not to mention fluids lost to an upcoming bay, you always have enough strenght to fight more, create weapons, etc etc
- French people like to save a lot on the power bill, and use next to zero light in their houses. Both on the inside and outside.
- Already covered but, again, french policemen are possibly the dumbest police force on the planet, next to the South Korean cops of "The Chaser"

- Never, under any circumstances, should you yell for help if you're a pregnant French woman locked in a bathroom being menaced by a serial killer, even if you hear police sirens outside your door AND said policemen questioning said serial killer just down the stairs. It is a much better idea to slowly (and quietly) carve a hole in your only line of defense, a flimsy but apparently difficult to penetrate plywood door, and then flail your arm around pointlessly until the serial killer has had time to dispatch the policemen and impales your hand to the wall.
Because you know, yelling or making noise or something might alert them that something is not quite right with the creepy strange not pregnant woman answering the door of the lone, frightened pregnant woman who called the police specifically because she was threatened by such a character. - Stabbing someone through the forehead with a pair of scissors will cause them to rise as a homicidal (but electrically minded) zombie, rather actual death as one might expect.

There's just so many gaffes in this film and everybody's already come up with most of themI'm not sure what number you're up to now but here's my #1:
This is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, dumb people doing really stupid things and none of it was anything but an attempt at cheap shock through gallons of fake blood and nasty little situations that made absolutely no friggin' sense whatsoever.
And that's probably the longest sentence I've ever written LoL! -

- If you accidentally stab your own mother in the neck, despite her calling to you from the other side of a (fairly flimsy) door - make sure NEVER to attempt to stop the blood flow from her puncture wound. Its better to watch her bleed out from a safe distance. She only carried you for nine months, birthed you into the world, raised you till well into your twenties, and is nice enough to come to hospital and to check on you at home when you are about to drop a baby.
- Also, NEVER apologise or express regret at having skewered said mother in the neck. That would just be rude. I'm sure she wouldnt want to know (before she died) that you stabbing her was an accident.
- When given a clear opportunity to pick up a gun and hide in a good vantage point. Make sure you instead lie inert on your bed, bleeding and scared, letting the killer return to lick, sniff and possibly kiss you on your face. Definetly don't once think about using said gun either.
- when in the hospital and a doctor or medical practitioner asks you a question, feel free to completely ignore him, as if said question had never been asked.
- When called on to take a photograph of the antagonist, please make sure your only photo, of at least ten, is a blurry, underexposed mess. You're only a professional photographer afterall.
- Make sure to never clean, cover or dress open wounds. Especially facial, stomach or hand injuries that are bleeding. You're in a bathroom, with medical supplies, running water, and towels/dressing - how pointless would that be?
- If you are a cop who finds the owner of the house pinned to the wall by scissors. Feel free to pull them out with vigour, Im sure your medical knowledge surpasses that of any hospital professional you should have called out on arrival.
- If you find yourself stabbed in the head with scissors, but miraculously still alive. Just pull out said scissors - it's clearly a wonderful survival technique.
- Always let a psychopathic murderess who is hell-bent on stealing your unborn, calmly deliver the baby when the time comes.
- Sellotape is great alternative to suturing (self inflicted) holes in your neck.
- Desipte earlier having your eyeballls poked out and being stabbed in the armpit, you will still be able to efficiently fight off wannabe attackers, your arm will also still be completely mobile. Furthermore you will, when finally stabbed in the chest with a spear and despite your blindness, be able to find a sofa to land on so you can die in comfort.
And even after all this. I still loved this damn movie.

"46. Apparently, Scissors, Needles and various other household objects can with ease be rammed through bone, wooden doors, walls and whatever else you might want to use them on. This requires virtually no physical effort."
Ahah bestr one in this thread. These guys probably never tried to cut through bone with a knife. Hell, not a chicken bone, but through a SKULL. -

Dang, I wrote out 12 things I learned after watching this movie, but y'all beat me to the punch on half of them (and came up with lots of other good ones!).
My other six
101. French nurses are dispassionate twats.
102. In France, they tell survivors of car accidents that there were no other survivors for no apparent reason.
103. French people keep bookshelves next to bathroom doors that are conveniently, exactly the right height to block the handle from turning.
104. Bathroom doors in France are sound-proofed (even when full of holes), so if you're locked inside, don't bother screaming when your boss or the cops are downstairs.
105. French women have perfect aim when swinging knitting needles and other sharp objects at jugular veins and eye sockets, especially in panic situations.
106. A lot of people wrongly believe that this movie was better than Martyrs.- my other six that were already said -
- French fetuses do really good impressions of Macaulay Culkin.
- French police officers do not receive any training in basic self defense or proper ways of subduing & cuffing murderers.
- French women can't recognize the sound of their own Mother's voice (I guess that's because their bathroom doors are sound-proofed).
- Teenagers stare quietly at slow-moving, knife-wielding murderers rather than flailing or screaming or kicking or showing any other such survival instincts.
- Similarly, when someone sprays fire in your face, it's best to hold perfectly still for several seconds instead of pulling away as quickly as possible.
- French police officers wait 10 minutes before calling for backup or an ambulance while inside a "war zone".

"110. Teenagers stare quietly at slow-moving, knife-wielding murderers rather than flailing or screaming or kicking or showing any other such survival instincts."
Sorry maybe my mind just isn't working now but what is #110 in reference to? What teenager? I don't remember any teenager in this movie. -

- The ridiculous things:minutes ratio in this movie is actually greater than 1:1, which may be a new record.
Agree that throughout all this, I still give it a 9/10 as one of my favorite horror movies. It's almost like Dead Alive (Braindead) by Peter Jackson in terms of how bad it is yet still amazingly entertaining.

- Restraining suspects in such a way that they can't kill you with concealed weapons is a secret technique, known only by 12th Dan karate masters
- French bathroom doors are thin as plywood but have the soundproofing qualities of acoustical tiles
- Calling for backup is a major faux pas
- Maternal fury trumps police training, always
- When you've cornered your tormentor listen to her explanation, she may have a valid reason for killing everyone
- If she has one leave her be and go hang out with zombie cop
- Zombie cops make bad midwives
