10 Horror Movie Douchebags Who Actually Survived
10. Kate Ward - Army Of The Dead
Let's kick things off with one of the most detestable "heroes" from any of 2021's movies - the unintentionally awful heroine Kate Ward (Ella Purnell) from Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead.
Kate is the estranged daughter of protagonist Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), and joins the central Las Vegas heist in the hope of retrieving her missing migrant friend Geeta (Huma Qureshi).
Kate basically ends up thrusting a side-mission upon Scott and his team while having little in the way of combat skills or even basic self-preservation instincts.
By running off to try and find Geeta, she throws the rest of the group's plans into a tailspin, forcing them to go off-script as ultimately results in many of their deaths, including her father's.
Though Kate does rescue Geeta, this is hilariously rendered null and void at film's end when Geeta dies in a helicopter crash, of which Kate is miraculously the sole survivor.
And so, Army of the Dead ends with Kate shooting her zombified father dead and becoming the last person standing.
Considering she was by far the most annoying character in the movie and also the least-equipped to survive, it was absolutely maddening that she didn't die a grisly death.
