One of the nastier ways to kill a character that tends to show up in a lot of Slasher Movies. Quite simply, the killer takes a knife or other blade (or if the killer is a monster, its claws will do quite nicely) and slashes the victim's belly open (often from groin to sternum), usually resulting in the poor unfortunate's insides spilling out. If the gutting is self-inflicted and a matter of honor, see Seppuku. Related to Half the Man He Used to Be. If the victim is pregnant, a Traumatic C-Section may occur. This may lead to an Obligatory Joke along the lines of "I always knew you had guts!" As this is frequently a Death Trope (but not always), unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Hungry as a Wolf: Wolf Cowrie narrowly avoids this when going toe-to-toe with a Wendigo. While he does get clawed pretty badly down the front, his reflexes and his healing factor save him; even with his Healing Factor he needs a lot of stitches afterwards. | |

Happens on occasion in The Walking Dead. In Issue 111, Negan does this to Spencer Monroe, saying he didn't have guts in the process. Negan being Negan, he immediately retracts his statement. This episode of violence provides our page image. In Issue 158, we have a much more serious one, as Beta guts Gabriel Stokes while he is hanging from a ladder by a broken leg, essentially for no reason at all. |

The Simpsons: In a commercial for Itchy And Scratchy cereal, Itchy fills Scratchy with the cereal and then opens him up like a single-serve cereal box. When the family goes to Japan, a fish preparation plant features an animation of a cartoon squid singing about gutting fish. He guts out his own organs and dies. In an early episode, Moe threatens a prank caller (who he doesn't know is Bart) that if he ever finds out who he is, he will "gut (him) like a fish and drain (his) blood." |

The title character in Machete does this to a mook in the hospital, then proceeds to use his guts as a rope to swing down to a lower floor. It's a sign of the type of film this is that this isn't even close to the most outlandish thing Machete does. | |

The Elenium: A particularly spiteful doctor gives Sparhawk some suggestions for what to do when he finds the ones who poisoned Ehlana; slit his belly horizontally below the bellybutton, then kick him over. Everything just falls out. In the sequel trilogy, The Tamuli, when Mirtai is discussing past events, she refers to the revenge she took on the two men who killed a previous master: she disemboweled them (non-fatally), pulled out a few handfuls of innards, then set the building they were in alight. They didn't manage to get everything back inside in time to flee. |

In the episode Fast shooting duel, Shigeo tortured scummy TV host Shintaro Murasame with a breast ripper (specifically, an iron spider), enlarged and modified to rip a victim's belly. Five hours later, the scumbag falls off and dies, his guts spilling all over the floor. |

One of the possible critical hits you can inflict in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay — also an easy way to kill yourself when fighting a troll (they are the local staple of Extreme Omnivore with metabolism to match, so gutting one will get you covered in Hollywood Acid with nasty results). Particularly horrifying for Ogres due to their unique anatomy; their digestive system and the associated muscles are such that, if an ogre gets disemboweled, he's immediately incapacitated and beyond saving, but takes days to die as he agonizes and his insides uncoil messily. Ogres find this too awful to do to each other, aside from Bragg the Gutsman (who they find terrifying to the point no one is willing to follow him, gutting his chances of becoming a tyrant). | |

In Claymore all the titular warriors were subjected to this when they became infused with the Youma flesh that gave them their powers, and given the resulting incision is a Wound That Will Not Heal they wind up being stitched shut and the resulting scar is gruesome enough that it disgusts anyone who sees it. For worse, they're fully conscious as this is being done to them and, given the Organization's general attitude towards them, are unlikely to have been given the luxury of painkillers. | |

If someone has their belly sliced open in Dwarf Fortress, their guts fall out. It's actually possible to survive this, but a doctor that stitches the wound up might leave the guts exposed, which leads to ~ trailing behind that unit wherever they go. | |

At the start of A Minor Miscalculation, Nui kills Mako's mother by slashing her abdomen open and violently throwing her against the far wall. She also tries and fails to gut Mataro before Mako frees him, leaving a large scar across his chest. This scar is reopened by Nui during the Naturals Election twelve chapters later, killing him. | |

In Don't Go Near the Park!, 3 scenes in total occur where a person has their stomach ripped open and their internal organs removed. One of the victims is conscious when this occurs, and she screams as her stomach is squeezed and crushed, fainting after Patty tears her stomach open completely. Patty extracts the victim's liver and feeds on it voraciously. | |

Scream: The first film provides the trope name in its opening scene, where the Ghostface killer threatens to gut Casey like a fish if she hangs up on him again. Ghostface proceeds to follow through by murdering both Casey and her boyfriend Steve this way, with Casey's body being hung from a tree for extra nasty points. Later on, the film also provides the page quote when the main characters are discussing Casey and Steve's murder. Stu's eagerness to provide details on how to do it foreshadows that he has firsthand experience, while Billy telling Stu to shut up foreshadows that he's trying to stop Stu from drawing suspicion to themselves. It happens again quite explicitly with Olivia in Scream 4. A deleted scene shows that Jenny and Marnie suffered the same fate. Ghostface does it again in Scream (2022), stabbing one victim in both the stomach and the back before ripping the knives upwards. And no, it's not some random schmuck who meets this fate. This happens to Dewey. |

Slasher: Sarah's father was murdered by Tom Winston, the original Executioner, by stabbing him in the chest from behind with a machete and then carving down to his groin. The Druid kills a teacher in her own classroom by imitating the classic Frog Dissection her class had done earlier in the day. Unlike the frogs, though, the unfortunate woman is fully awake and screaming while the killer cuts her stomach open and begins systematically removing her organs. |

Game of Thrones has a lot of Gorn as it is, so naturally there's a bit of this. Probably the most memorable example comes when the Hound saves Sansa from being gang-raped, he announces his presence by performing a one-handed Neck Lift on one of them and knifing him with his other hand. We don't see the wound itself, just his guts falling out. House of the Dragon: The Crabfeeder, courtesy of Daemon Targaryen, who doesn't just cut open his belly, but he cuts his body in half and drags one part behind him, intestines rolling around with it. |

The Punisher: The Dragon of the "Slavers" arc ends up with his abdomen slashed open and his guts wrapped around a nearby tree. A similar fate befalls Nicky Cavella, a wannabe crimelord who thought pissing Frank off (by digging up and desecrating his family's bodies) was a good idea. He takes a bullet to the gut for his troubles and left in the wilderness to die of infection or blood loss, whichever comes first. In "The Cell", Frank mentions his daughter holding her own guts in her hand the day of the Central Park picnic (as he's beating down the mafiosi responsible for the failed ambush that killed his family). |

Kratos in God of War III does this as a finisher move to the Centaur Generals after bringing them on their knees. Later during the game, he does the same to Kronos himself. | |

Jurassic Park Dennis Nedry dies in this fashion when he has the misfortune of encountering a Dilophosaurus, nicknamed a "spitter" among fans of the films. It blinds him by spitting into his eyes, then rips open his midsection, similar to the way Grant described in the film version. Likewise, Nedry was alive when it began to eat him. His final thought was to pray for a quick end. Henry Wu meets his end this way courtesy of an actual raptor. |

Near the beginning of Jurassic Park, Dr. Grant gives an impromptu lecture about the possible links in ancestry between the velociraptor and birds while at an archeological dig site. He gets interrupted by an obnoxious kid, who quips the raptor, "looks like a big turkey." So Grant, much to the amusement of his students, teaches the boy a lesson in respect by explaining exactly how that "turkey" hunted and killed its prey. Grant shows him the raptor's middle toe claw and swipes it across the boy's belly then down his midsection to illustrate the cutting motion it used to spill the victim's intestines; finishing his tutorial by telling him that, "The point is, you are alive when it starts to eat you." As we never actually see raptors do this in the movies, he may have just been guessing or making it up to scare the kid. | |

The Hunger Games: It's revealed in Catching Fire Haymitch almost suffered this fate during the 50th Hunger Games. When it came to the final showdown, the other finalist inflicted a horrible gut wound on him, which forced him to walk while keeping his intestines from spilling out. The wound was stitched after he won the Games, however. | |

In Green Room, this is how "Big Justin" meets his end by way of Amber and a boxcutter, though it's unclear whether he had been killed or merely knocked unconscious beforehand by the chokehold Reese put him in. Either way, Big Justin was a violent neo-Nazi enforcer who had just had the heroes at gunpoint, so while very gruesome his demise results in no tears being shed. | |

In Saiyuki Gaiden, this is how Marshall Tenpou winds up dying: after cutting down a hallway's worth of soldiers and suffering only superficial wounds, he faces off against their leader in a Single-Stroke Battle. At the end of it, the other man falls down dead, but Tenpou's taken a slash to the gut that graphically drops his innards to the floor. We get to watch him gradually bleed out as he continues crawling down the hallway in a final attempt to rejoin his friends. Since Gaiden is actually a prequel to the main series, Tenpou's death is a deliberate mirror to the backstory of Hakkai, his next incarnation: after he slaughtered a castle full of youkai to rescue his lover, a survivor of the massacre gave him a very similar wound. Once again he winds up crawling with his entrails on display, but this one he survives, thanks to Gojyo dragging him home and getting him put back together. |
