Slit throat is what happens when someone slices your throat open, causing you to bleed out. Such an injury is almost always fatal. This sort of gruesome method of death is common in the horror genre, as well as many dramas, particularly ones of the mobster subgenre. Many suspense thrillers will also feature a murderer that kills his victims by slitting their throat.
In gangster films, a popular weapon used to slice open someone's throat, or to strangle them, is a garrote. Such practices can be found in movies like the Godfather film series.
