10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died In The Final Shot

10. Officer Trubiano - You're Next

Adam Wingard's You're Next is a film wholly concerned with toying with audience expectations - something it continues to do right up to its very final shot.

After survivalist Erin (Sharni Vinson) has killed her turncoat boyfriend Crispin (A. J. Bowen), she's shot in the shoulder by a police officer, Officer Trubiano (Calvin Reeder), who arrives on the scene and understandably believes her to be a murderer rather than a victim.

Trubiano then calls for backup and goes to enter the property to deal with the situation, only for Erin to scream, "No, don't!," realising that he's about to inadvertently trigger a trap that she set to take out the real killers.

But alas, she's too late to save poor Officer Trubiano, as the rigged axe falls from the ceiling and speeds towards his face, before Wingard cuts to the movie's titles which have been splashed with what's presumably Trubiano's blood.

While it's not out of the ordinary for the main killer or Final Girl to die in the final second of a horror movie, a basically random, innocent character we've never met before? Wild.
