10 Horror Movie Characters Who Were SECONDS Away From Surviving
6. Liz Hunter - Wolf Creek
Wolf Creek is a nasty, unforgiving little movie that left audiences throwing their hands up in frustration at the near-survival of one of the film's main characters, Liz Hunter (Cassandra Magrath).
Mid-movie, Liz actually has psychopathic murderer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) dead to rights, shooting him in the neck with a rifle and very nearly killing him.
Liz's mistake? Not confirming the damn kill on the spot. Even though Mick makes a point of saying that he only put a single bullet in the rifle, that wouldn't have prevented Liz from using anything in the vicinity to bludgeon Mick and finish him off.
Worse still, in a classic case of Sudden-Onset Character Stupidity, Liz ends up dropping the gun next to Mick, leaving her totally helpless when he gets the drop on her later and grimly finishes her off.
If Liz just took care of Mick when he was temporarily incapacitated, she would've totally survived.
