In an inspired, realistic battle scene in no-man""s land [modern-day war films have often imitated it], the camera rapidly moves across and in front of the French infantry charge across the no-man""s land.At about the same time, Shelly staggered into the doorway with his throat slashed (see earlier assault), and died in front of Chili ((# 5 death)).So Armando devised a plan with the alarmed Milo as they sat hidden in a stairway -- he would go to the police with the fabricated story that Milo was frightened by the big city and ran away.Trey was repeatedly stabbed with a machete in the back (piercing through the mattress), and hen the bed was collapsed and folded in half width-wise, painfully bending him backwards and breaking his spine(# 2 death, by Jason).The major portion of the action of the film is theatrically-based and contained almost entirely on two small interior sets (a first for Griffith who had previously used exterior sets and location shooting almost exclusively) to emphasize the limits of space and time.
