10 More Horror Movie Characters You Trusted (But Shouldn't Have)

10. Stephanie - V/H/S

The second short in horror anthology V/H/S, "Second Honeymoon," revolves around married couple Sam (Joe Swanberg) and Stephanie (Sophia Takal), who find themselves being terrified by an apparent stranger while on a road trip.

Things get especially eerie when the individual breaks into their hotel room and records themselves caressing Stephanie with a knife on her own camcorder.

This seems like a purely straight-forward scenario, of a couple being terrorised by a random psycho, until the short climaxes with Sam being stabbed to death by the assailant.

A quick flash of footage then shows the killer, a woman, making out with Stephanie, revealing them to be lovers - and murderers.

This was however slyly hinted at earlier in the short, when Sam and Stephanie used a fortune telling machine which claimed that she would be reunited with a loved one soon. We as viewers likely expected this to foreshadow her imminent demise at the stalker's hands, but of course, it was actually nodding towards her twisted secret relationship with a murderer.
