10 More Most Unfortunate Victims In Horror Movies

10. Dr. William Weir - Event Horizon

Event Horizon from 1997 is a sci-fi horror set in the not-too-distant future, where interplanetary travel has been made easy thanks to revolutionary reality-bending technology.

The titular spacecraft turns up orbiting Neptune after seven years of no contact, and it’s up to the crew of a rescue ship to find out what happened. It turns out that the Event Horizon accidentally opened a portal to a dimension full of horrible monsters, which nobody had on their bingo card. 

Sam Neill plays Dr. William Weir in the film, the designer of the stricken vessel who tags along for the ride. He invented the experimental engine that caused all these problems and, in true karmic fashion, he is the one who suffers the most from it.

Weir gets possessed by an inter-dimensional spirit, which forces him to tear out his own eyeballs. If that wasn’t bad enough, he then proceeds to kill his fellow crewmates in gristly fashion. He also has it pretty bad, getting blasted into space and hideously mutilated before finally being defeated. 

All he wanted to do was check up on his ship.
