10 Horror Movie Characters Who Deserved To Die

9. Crispian Davison - You're Next

The Descent
Lionsgate

You have to be a special sort of twisted to be capable of the type of behavior that primary antagonist Crispian Davison exhibits in 2011's nail-biting thriller You're Next. A family reunion goes wrong in ghastly fashion, as the Davison family are attacked, seemingly without cause, within their holiday retreat by a group of villains donning terrifying animal masks.

Unfortunately for the villains, it turns out that Erin, the girlfriend of middle sibling Crispian, was raised amongst a group of survivalists, essentially making her a female version of an adult Kevin McAllister. Just replace the bricks and paint cans with blenders and meat hammers. The main difference? Erin's victims don't get back up.

So why would her boyfriend, who rushed off to find help, deserve death?

Erin answers a dead Felix's (Crispian's younger brother, who had revealed his complicity in the attack) ringing phone, only to hear Crispian's voice on the other end, revealing his participation within the scheme and shared responsibility for the deaths of his parents, his older brother and several others. The fact that such a heinous act was motivated solely by cash adds an extra layer of disgust to the audience's shocked reaction.

Thankfully, Erin is wholly unimpressed by Crispian's feeble excuse that she was never intended to be in any danger and his attempt to buy her silence. She puts a thoroughly deserved end to an absolute weasel of a human being, goring her boyfriend through the neck and the eye socket with a screwdriver.

Iconic chance missed to say "screw you" post-kill, but sterling work nonetheless.
