10 Horror Movie Villains Secretly Introduced Way Earlier Than You Realise

5. La Femme - Inside

The Bye Bye Man
La Fabrique de Films

Providing the inspiration for flicks like The Strangers, 2007's Inside is a home invasion movie that is certainly not for the faint of heart. The film follows protagonist Sarah, a pregnant woman who is attacked by a female desperate to steal her baby from her.

The film is brutal, bloody and downright shocking at times, with the lengths which La Femme goes to making for a chilling dynamic. What most audience members might have missed out on, however, is just how far back this obsession is established.

In one of the early scenes, Sarah is photographing a new family with a mother and father playing with their child. What could have been an innocent moment before the carnage unfolds, a figure standing in the top right of the corner makes things much more chilling.

As revealed by Sarah later on, La Femme had been stalking her right from the off, with the photos she took revealing the figure stood eerily by one of the hedges. Easily missed in real-time, a replay back will show the audience the woman really was standing there in the initial shot, which is sure to send a chill down the spine before the gore begins to be spilled.
