30 Horror Movie Survivors Who Probably Wished They'd Died

30. The Strangers - Kristen McKay

Kicking off, we've got Kristen (Liv Tyler), the sole survivor from cult classic horror The Strangers, a home invasion flick in which three masked killers break into a couple's home and terrorize them for no apparent reason. The malevolent trio kill Kristen's partner James (Scott Speedman), as well as James' friend Mike (Glenn Howerton); Kristen survives, but it's only by pure luck. Her wounds happened to not be fatal, although they probably would've been had two young passers-by not discovered the crime scene.  

Kristen hasn't returned in any further Strangers movies, but it can be safely assumed that her road to recovery would've been arduous, to say the least. Alongside the fact that she'll now be living with lifelong trauma and horrible physical injuries, there's also the way things ended with James. 

When the couple came home that evening, things were not good between them as James had just proposed to Kristen at a wedding reception and she'd turned him down. Thanks to James being murdered later that night, Kristen never really got the chance to fix things with him. The only particular positive that Kristen could take from any of this is that James and Mike's deaths were eventually avenged. As depicted in 2018's sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night, a pair of siblings attacked by the trio managed to kill them.
