  1. Amazing. Never seen that before. Though Mary Stewart WISHES it had been that quick. The executioner was hacking away like a mexican kid at a pinata on his birthday. First blow hit the back of her head. Rookie mistake. Second almost severed her head, but the guy had to saw away with the axe to get through the gristle.

  2. Maybe Eli Roth should do a remake.
