10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died Painful Deaths

1. Jonah - The Green Inferno

Gory, violent death kind of goes with the territory when it comes to jungle cannibal movies. The one experienced by Jonah (Aaron Burns) in Eli Roth's Green Inferno, however, is one for the ages. When their plane crashes in a remote rainforest jungle, a group of young, hip activists (led by Lorenza Izzo and Ariel Levy) are captured by a tribe of flesh-eating cannibals.

Led to the tribe's village and plucked away from his friends, poor Jonah gets the film's longest, cruellest and most unpleasant death. After having his eyes gouged out, and his tongue pulled out of his head, the helpless, terrified youth's limbs are lopped off, one by one.

Jonah screams and screeches; alive throughout the whole ordeal, while his horrified friends look on. The ritual ends with Jonah being decapitated and the cannibals cooking him up for dinner. A merciful end, following one of the most horrific death sequences ever filmed.
