Ax-Crazy: The young woman in "Saturday" who shoots up the audience at a rock concert is clearly not all there mentally. | |

The Aloner: The man in "Monday" is so lonely that only one life-form has ever showed him any sort of kindness in his entire life — his pet goldfish. The fish's death is what finally sends him over the edge. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| The Death King / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: A recurring subject in the film, with six of the seven segments exploring the topic in some way. "Monday" depicts a man coming home, calling his workplace to announce his resignation, writing cryptic messages, and then cleaning his apartment one last time before committing suicide by Cyanide Pill in his bathtub. "Tuesday" ends with a man's murder of his girlfriend revealed as being presented on a television screen in a room where another man has hanged himself. In "Wednesday", a man, distraught over his unhappy marriage which culminated in the murder of his wife, asks a young woman to shoot him, only to grab the gun and turn it on himself. "Thursday" contains a list of people who have committed suicide by jumping from a certain bridge. In "Friday", a woman receives a chain letter urging her to kill herself, but thankfully ignores it, ripping it up and throwing it away. In "Sunday", a clearly depressed man violently bashes his head against a nearby wall until he finally succumbs to brain damage. | |

Shout-Out: The video store in "Tuesday" carries an ad for the director's own Nekromantik while the store itself is named after Videodrome. | |
