10 Horror Movie Characters Who Had To Make Horrendous Decisions
8. Adam - Black Water
2007's Black Water follows a group of Australian tourists on a fishing expedition, who become stranded in the mangroves after their vessel is attacked by an enormous saltwater crocodile.
The core group - sisters Lee and Grace, in addition to Grace's husband Adam - are tipped out of their boat when their assailant attacks. They manage to escape to the relative safety of a nearby tree as their guide is devoured by the gargantuan reptile, but are separated from their up-ended boat - and only chance of escape - by a stretch of murky water.
It's a distance of a matter of feet, but considering the danger that lurks in the depths, it might as well be ten miles. The group are subsequently faced with a truly horrendous choice. Wait in the shelter of the mangroves for a rescue party that probably isn't coming and risk starving to death, or brave the black waters containing a bloodthirsty apex predator that survived the K-T extinction.
It actually somehow gets even worse from there. Adam eventually makes the valiant choice to go for the boat, only to find himself devoured by the colossal predator. The crocodile surfaces before the sobbing survivors, gleefully clutching his corpse in its jaws.
