10 Worst Fates Suffered By Final Girls In Horror Movies

10. Lee - Black Water

It's a pretty impressive accomplishment to take out a crocodile singlehandedly - this is a predator that has survived since the time of the dinosaurs, after all. As such, Lee's fate in 2007's Black Water is almost comically unfair.

The Australian horror depicts the tale of the aforementioned Lee and her sister Grace. The siblings become trapped in the mangroves after their boat is upended by an enormous bloodthirsty crocodile, which kills their tour guide and Grace's boyfriend Adam in short order. After her sister's leg is gruesomely wounded following an encounter with the crocodile, Lee is forced to attempt to reach the boat herself.

The film's climactic sequence sees Lee go toe-to-toe with the murderous reptilian, equipped with no more than two bullets in the dead guide's pistol. As the beast clamps its colossal jaws around her arm, she manages to fire into its mouth, finally putting an end to her amphibious tormenter. Lee's impressively hardcore antics and refusal to yield to such a formidable adversary deserved far better than the heartbreaking endgame directors Andrew Traucki and David Nerlich had in store for her.

Returning to her sister, with escape from these hellish surroundings finally within reach, Lee makes the devastating discovery that Grace has succumbed to her wounds and died. The idea of losing a sibling on top of such an ordeal is enough to pierce one's soul.
