to the core

"No man avenged has ever risen from the grave" is the haunting tagline of a film that has shocked Somalis to the core in a case of life imitating art.

The thought of being ripped from her home, without time to pack up her belongings or say goodbye to friends, shakes her to the core.

"I've spoken to Mr Kohli's daughter and she said she was shocked to the core this had arisen in normally a really cohesive and happy community."

"He didn't listen to any of our advice. He only did as he pleased - he was stubborn to the core."

"People are going to be stunned to the core."
