10 Horror Movie Villains Who Encountered Something Worse

10. Rocky, Alex & Money - Don't Breathe

Don't Breathe does a fantastic job of appearing to pit a trio of unambiguous villains against a severely outmatched hero, only to flip the script in a brilliantly unpleasant way.

The film begins with three young criminals, Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette), and Money (Daniel Zovatto), breaking into the home of blind Gulf War veteran Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) with the intent of stealing the $300,000 Norman received as a settlement following his daughter's death in a car accident.

It initially seems pretty damn cut and dried that Norman is the embattled person to root for here, only for him to not only prove unexpectedly capable of fighting back against the trio, but also reveal a seriously dark secret.

As we learn much later in the story, Norman has kidnapped the woman who killed his daughter, artificially inseminated her with his own seed, and left her pregnant and chained up in his basement.

Now, robbing a bereaved blind guy is scummy as all hell, but kidnap and r*pe? That's a hell of a lot worse. In fact, it's bad enough that the sequel's attempts to reinvent Norman as an anti-hero by having him face off against child organ harvesters falls completely flat.
