10 More Best Non-Final Girls In Horror Movies

10. Lorraine Day - X

With underseen gems like The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and The Sacrament to his name, Ti West's talents are finally getting a smidge more recognition thanks to his magnificent X and Pearl; two movies to be rounded out as a trilogy with the in-development MaXXXine. And at the centre of those films is a mesmerising Mia Goth, who plays the eerie Pearl in both pictures, but also plays the more heroic, sole survivor Maxine in 2022's X.

Away from 'final girl' Maxine, one other major highlight of X is Jenna Ortega's Lorraine Day.

That movie centres on a group who rent a property on an old couple's farm, where the intent is to shoot a porn film. While filming does indeed start to take place, what also starts up is the murderous intent of the elderly Pearl and Howard.

Where Lorraine is concerned, she's the timid girlfriend of director RJ and is largely just there as a spare body to help with the lighting. That is, until Lorraine gets intrigued by the filming she's witnessed and decides she'd like to partake in a scene of her own; against the wishes of RJ, but given the green-light by producer Wayne.

Throughout X, Ortega's character really comes into her own, growing in confidence, even showing some great fire and spirit right up until the film's final few moments... where she's shot dead by Howard, leaving Maxine as the movie's lone survivor.
