Covers Always Lie: Neither of the American covers for Watch Me When I Kill have really anything to do with the film. In fact, the killer pictured on both covers isn't at all what they look like and the blonde woman the killer is shown grabbing doesn't even appear anywhere. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds | |
Watch Me When I Kill / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Despite being a serial killer willing to murder anyone to cover his tracks; it's hard not to feel bad for Carlo, as he was a holocaust survivor who likely watched his mother and sister perish in front of him as a child, and it's implied that he can't forget. All he really wanted was to kill everyone he blamed for his family's death. | |

Poorly Timed Confession: Carlo calls Mara at Lukas' villa in attempt to lure her out, but it backfires as she ends up being able to match his voice with the one on the tapes. This, along with him knowing how to contact her at a private villa, allows Mara to piece together that he's the killer. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Upon realizing that Carlo is too far gone, Judge Pastore shoots him with a pistol, shedding a tear while doing so. Afterwards, he uses the same pistol to kill himself. Carlo's death due to his massive Freudian Excuse and teary-eyed Motive Rant. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
Watch Me When I Kill / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: During The Holocaust, Judge Pastore hid his family in a house belonging to Giovanni Bozzi and Esmeralda Messori. Through unspecified means, they were captured by the Nazis and put into a concentration camp. While his mother and sister perished, Carlo somehow survived and escaped. Scarred by the memories and believing that his family was murdered, drove Carlo into seeking revenge on those he felt were responsible for their capture. | |
