10 Horror Movie Characters Who Were Their Own Worst Enemy

There aren't many possible horrors that haven't been visited upon Lars Von trier's characters across the course of his perpetually shocking career, and yet few do so much to harm themselves and ruin their own lives as the female protagonist of Antichrist (or ANTICHRIS♀, if we're going there).

Regular Trier-hugger Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the part, credited only as "She", opposite Willem Dafoe's "He". A researcher in the history of witchcraft, She is having sex with her husband when their toddler son climbs onto a windowsill and falls to his death. What follows is the manifestation of her grief, pain and despair at the accident, manifesting in an ever-more unhinged approach to the world she inhabits.

The couple abscond to a cabin in the woods to try and work through some things (as you do), but while there She tortures her husband, mutilates her own genitals and essentially baits her partner into killing her. Why? Well, as if all that wasn't enough, it turns out she watched her infant son climb onto the windowsill and did nothing, perhaps to aid her studies on witchcraft and evil, or perhaps simply because She was evil.
