10 Horror Movie Villains Who Were Completely Unprepared

10. The Strangers: Prey At Night - The Strangers

In all fairness to the titular Strangers of the franchise's second offering, Prey at Night, most aspiring slasher baddies would likely be caught off guard by a pair of teenagers who fought back with the ferocity demonstrated by the film's sibling protagonists, Luke and Kinsey.

The second Strangers outing saw the premise reimagined by director Johannes Roberts, as a family are terrorized while visiting a trailer park on vacation. The original was more of a psychological horror, while Prey at Night falls more within the bounds of the slasher sub-genre, featuring considerably more action. The film also chillingly utilizes a soundtrack of songs that would be more appropriate in a karaoke bar, as opposed to the backing music for a group of bloodthirsty killers.

Unfortunately for the masked murderers, the three villains turn out to be wholly unprepared for the level of resistance they find themselves faced with from the aforementioned teenagers. In the film's superbly shot pool fight sequence, Luke brutally stabs Pin Up Girl to death before going toe to toe with the Masked Man, despite the latter wielding an axe.

Luke is wounded and taken out of the action but the Strangers are no more prepared to deal with his sister. Kinsey gets the upper hand over Dollface and executes her before seemingly dispatching the Masked Man with a baseball bat to the dome. While the fate of the psychotic murderer is left deliberately ambiguous, the fact that the Strangers picked the wrong family for a nice easy murder spree is not.
