10 Horror Movie Characters Who Deserved To Die

5. Rose Armitage - Get Out

The Descent
Universal

While many people endure a psychotic boyfriend or girlfriend over the course of their lives, it is hard to imagine a more deviously sinister partner than Get Out's Rose Armitage, played in a superbly unsettling performance by Allison Williams.

It's hard to overstate just how utterly wicked Rose is within Jordan Peele's 2017 masterpiece. As her unfortunate boyfriend Chris soon discovers, her family have an appalling secret; they transplant brains from one body to another, allowing for a depraved form of eternal life. The catch? The unfortunate (usually black) host's brain has to go somewhere, and that happens to be a literal purgatory called the Sunken Place, where the host remains fully conscious but utterly powerless over their own body.

Anyone involved in such unspeakable evil clearly deserves a gruesome death and Rose arguably represents the most evil aspect of the depraved enterprise. Chris is just the latest in a long line of partners that Rose has lured into her honeypot; every single one of those people have been condemned to a fate arguably far worse than death. As the most twisted femme fatale in the most unspeakably evil plot imaginable, Rose actually gets off lightly by only dying in the film, considering the appalling and unending existence she bestows upon her numerous victims.

While Chris is such a good guy that he finds himself unable to finish Rose off after she is shot by host groundskeeper Walter, she doesn't escape her deserved death for her despicable acts. She is left to die in the dirt as Chris and his best friend Rod drive away triumphantly.
