10 Smartest Decisions In Horror Movies

10. Emergency Tracheotomy - Saw V

The saw series has some of the most ridiculous decisions in a horror franchise to date. From flagrantly ignoring the very clear rules laid out to them, to rushing themselves into sticky situations, to not thinking quite LITERALLY enough - the people stuck in Jigsaw's traps really aren't taking any MENSA tests any time soon. That's mainly because they're dead, but still.

There's one such case that stands out from the rest, however. One such man that took a look at his own personalised death trap and did exactly what he had to to survive, even when faced with one of the rare instances that there was no feasible way of escaping. The proteges really didn't play fair.

FBI Agent Peter Strahm gets caught out when he's attacked in a meat packing plant by a humanoid pig, which is poetic if nothing else. Waking up to a perspex box attached to his head that's slowly filling with water, Strahm fiddles with the box ineffectively for a while until realising there's no way out - at which point he grabs a pen in his pocket, jabs it through his own throat, and takes out the internal components in a rudimentary tracheotomy.

Pretty bloody hardcore, to be honest.
