9 Devastating Horror Movie Deaths You Couldn't Look Away From

9. Saw 3 - Alison Kerry

This one is just mean. Shawnee Smith's Amanda Young, the apprentice to John Kramer's Jigsaw, invents a new style of trap that, despite the best efforts of the victims to escape, proves to be a death sentence no matter the actions of the person inside.

Sadly, it is Dina Meyer's Alison Kerry who falls victim to the Angel Trap - one of the most horrific to appear in the Saw series. With the arms of the trap bolted into her ribcage, she sees a timer counting down. Although it is not stated exactly what will happen, anyone familiar with Jigsaw's methods knows that she needs to move, fast.

The key to salvation is in a jar in front of her. However, that jar is full of acid. So, to escape, she reckons that she needs to simply grab the key, take the pain and survive. The crushing moment comes as Alison gets the courage to plunge her hand in, grab the key and slam it into the lock. And nothing happens.

She was a likable character, empathetic, and to see her ripped open like this was... well, murders in these kinds of films are rarely fair, but this one really seems EXTRA unfair!
