how does one react when stabbed from behind?

126 views

context is that we’re making a short film and the character gets stabbed from behind

question is, title

when the peeps auditioned for the character, they all followed the same pattern, but with different executions:

stabbed, slow realization, falls down, and cries for help

I’m not sure if that’s correct/a plausible reaction, tbh

so, i ask here.

thank you!!

When you get stabbed, all you really feel in the moment is the attacker’s fist hitting your body while the blade enters the flesh. It will feel like someone punched you on the back/shoulder/whatever. If a lung gets punctured, you will feel that something is wrong rather fast. But yeah, if nothing “important” is cut, the character in the scene might be confused at first, and as they turn around react frightened when they see the bloody knife.
