Nightmare Fuel / Killing Eve

Go To

  • Any viewers with asthma or breathing difficulties will find Villanelle's "You know I like the breathy ones!" very disturbing. The actual asthma-related murder is equally creepy.
  • Whenever Villanelle breaks into Eve's home and holds her at knifepoint.
  • Eve applying red lipstick and accidentally cutting her lip open as the lipstick is actually a knife hidden inside.
  • Villanelle getting high on drugs and physically attacking another girl in the club bathroom. If Konstantin hadn't arrived, Villanelle could've easily killed her.
  • Villanelle killing Niko's mistress Gemma by suffocating her with a plastic bag over her head and making Niko watched when he woke up.
  • Villanelle murdering Eve's friend Bill in a packed dance club, giving a claustrophobic feeling.
  • Villanelle murdering her attacker in Season 2 by stabbing him in the neck with a pair of sewing needles used for knitting and then stuffing a toilet brush into his mouth just for attention.
  • Eve stabbing Villanelle's attacker in Season 2 by hitting him in the shoulder with an ax. The guy is still alive and in pain so Eve has to put him out of his suffering while saving Villanelle.
  • Villanelle donning a Creepy Cute pig mask sexy outfit as a means of seducing an unfaithful man in a red light district. Then incapacitating him in bondage gear and hanging upside down by his feet so that she could stab him to death. While people in the streets and his scorned wife watch.
  • Villanelle breaking into a man's car in disguise and brutally murdering him. The inside of his car covering his windows in his blood. Inside a public car wash.
  • In 2.05, after Eve vomits, Villanelle turns Eve towards her and pulls out a very large cutting knife. Just barely glazing it across Eve's chest and stomach, but not stabbing her. Accompanied by the haunting soundtrack. Both filled with the characters unresolved sexual tension and horrifying.
  • The painting Villanelle fixates over showing a man being flayed. She says in amazement "they look like bacon".
