10 Dumbest Ever Horror Movie Protagonists

5. Paxton – Hostel

Liv Tyler The Strangers

Defining Dumb Moment: Being lured into the most horrific of tourist scams by thinking with his penis.

Cultural ingrate Paxton hasn’t come to Europe to soak up the different culture or beautiful architecture or fine cuisine. In fact, it seems his whole purpose in doing Europe is to literally do all of Europe. That is, to have sex with as many women as he possibly can – paid for or otherwise.

It’s Paxton’s lusty libido that leads him to instantly agree to an impromptu trip to Slovakia at the suggestion of a total stranger because he’s told there’s a hostel there full of beautiful women who just so happen to love nothing more than having sex with American men. Hmm, doesn’t sound to good to be true at all.

Even if the whole thing didn’t turn out to be a trick to lure Paxton and his mates into the clutches of a tourist torture and murder business, it still sounds like a pretty suspect tourist scam. Even in the best-case scenario Paxton would’ve likely got honey trapped and his money stolen but obviously this ploy went a little further than just petty theft and ended with his friends dead and Paxton missing two fingers.

But then, that’s what thinking with your penis rather than your brain gets you.
