10 Horror Movie Characters Who Die In The Very Last Scene

10. Agent Strahm - Saw V

FBI Agent Peter Strahm was nearly on this list for Saw IV, which ends with him and his colleague Rigg being locked in a meat factory by Jigsaw’s apprentice, left to die. 

That was, until, the writers realised they needed a hero for their next movie.

The fifth Saw film, which came out in 2008, reveals that Strahm (Scott Patterson) survived his ordeal. He also manages to escape a trap where his head gets put in a box that is being filled up with water. Basically, the first 15 minutes of Saw V are not kind to this guy. 

Unfortunately, it somehow gets worse. 

Strahm ends up pursuing the man who tried to kill him at the factory, another law enforcement officer called Hoffman. During the movie’s climax, he thinks he has the murderous trap-maker dead to rights, when he gets him inside a box in a sealed room. Come on, Strahm, have you not seen a Saw movie before?

The walls of the room slowly close in, and the box descends into the floor. Hoffman watches on as Strahm is crushed to death.
