10 Pointless Characters In Horror Movie Sequels

10. George Lanter - The Final Destination

The Final Destination series has more worthless characters than any other horror franchise, seemingly by design. Unimportant characters are necessary when the whole point of the franchise is for people to be killed in elaborate and gruesome ways.

However, some characters in the series are far more trivial than others, with the fourth movie in the franchise, The Final Destination, having many of these.

Now, The Final Destination is not a good movie. In fact it's probably the worst in the series, so having a pointless cast of characters is the least of its issues. Despite this, one character stands out from the others, mainly as he seems to initially be anything but inconsequential.

We're introduced to George early in the movie, but it's close to the final act in which we meet him again and find out his backstory. From learning this we begin to believe that he will play a major part in the conclusion of the movie. It's just at this point, when the character is being developed, that he is swiftly and unceremoniously killed, rendering his inclusion meaningless.

He ends up having no impact in the story. Although, he is heavily impacted by an ambulance.
