10 Dumb Decisions In Horror Movies That Got The Villain Killed

10. Kaufman Assumes Cholo Isn't A Zombie - Land Of The Dead

In Land of the Dead, a zombie outbreak causes modern society to collapse, with one of the last remaining cities being run by the tyrannical Paul Kaufman, who doesn't care how many die to safeguard his legacy.

After the flesh-eating creatures develop the ability to think and follow a leader, they successfully infiltrate Kaufman's domain. Rather than prepping a retaliation, Kaufman abandons his guards, leading to them being zombified, including his commander, Cholo.

With Kaufman moments away from escape, he's stopped in the parking lot by an undead Cholo. Assuming Cholo is alive, Kaufman plugs his former right-hand man with three bullets. Before Kaufman can make a run for it, Cholo grabs him, giving another zombie enough time to kill him.

Although Kaufman couldn't see his former employee in the dark, he should've recognised he was no longer among the living. Cholo didn't speak a word, nor did he react when he was blasted with the first two slugs. Also, he was shambling towards Kaufman like a zombie!

Even if Kauffman wasn't sure, he should've played it safe by pumping a bullet in Cholo's skull.
