20 Horror Movies That Made You Root For The Wrong Person

20. Jigsaw

In Jigsaw, the eighth Saw instalment, Anna and four others find themselves unwillingly playing Jigsaw's latest game. As usual, each participant is someone that Jigsaw believes is wasting their lives, with the group including a purse snatcher, a junkie, and a con-man, so it's apparent these five aren't exactly victims.

Anna is no angel, but she seems far from irredeemable. She helps the other participants, reprimands them when they act inappropriately, and comforts anyone who seeks validation. Due to Anna's maternal nature, it seems possible that Jigsaw selected her by mistake.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

In the third reel, Jigsaw divulges that Anna used to be his neighbour, and when Anna's baby kept crying, she suffocated it and framed her husband for the crime. Unable to live with the false blame, the husband took his own life.

Despite her sin, Jigsaw lets Anna and another participant, Ryan, take part in one last game, allowing them to walk free if they abide by the rules. However, Anna is so desperate to be the only winner, she ends up dooming them both.

Anna was initially set up as the best of a bad bunch, but she ended up being the worst of the lot
