10 Horror Movie Characters Who Deserved To Die

10. Liz Hunter - Wolf Creek

This writer can already hear you ask, 'how can an empowered heroine who is abducted and eventually brutally murdered by a psychopathic serial killer be a deserving victim of a horrible death?'

Yes, Liz Hunter does exemplary horror protagonist work in the early goings of 2005's Wolf Creek. After she and her friend Kristy are kidnapped by depraved murderer Mick Taylor, she manages to escape from her bonds before distracting and wounding the unhinged killer; shooting him in the neck with his own rifle before making her escape with Kristy.

However, her errors against such a deadly adversary ultimately mean that Liz only has herself to blame for her own death. Wounding an unhinged lunatic attempting to murder you is great, but do you know what's even better? Finishing the job off and making sure the maniac is actually dead! It is hard to imagine a scenario better suited to polish off the villain, and the failure to do so inevitably comes back to haunt Liz.

Liz makes yet another death-worthy error by choosing to return to Mick's lair in order to secure a car for the escape. Understandable, but considering she knew that the psychotic sadist may still be alive, a ridiculously poor judgement call. Liz was well aware that an escape on foot was possible if necessary, telling Kristy to do so if she didn't return quickly, bringing into question again why she would take the gargantuan risk of returning.

Lo and behold, Liz is duly dispatched in shockingly graphic fashion by Mick as she attempts to steal a car. Go figure.
