10 Horror Movies That Brutally Punish Survivors

7. Ed Jr. - The Mutilator

You'd hit the bottle, too, if you had to go through with Ed Jr. (Matt Mitler) does in 1984's The Mutilator.

Ed and his girlfriend Pam (Ruth Martinez) are only two survivors of this picture, and to do that meant doing the unthinkable for Jr. - which, in this case, meant killing his father.

As The Mutilator opens, we see a young Ed Jr. accidentally kill his smiley, cake-baking mother when he unfortunately fires a loaded gun that he was polishing. With that traumatic event already something he's had to deal with, the film jumps ahead to Ed as a young adult who soon finds he and his friends stalked by a mysterious killer.

When asked by his father to lock up the family's beachfront condo, it's here that Ed and his pals are methodically monitored and brutally murdered in all kinds of gnarly ways. By the final few moments of the movie, that's when Ed is greeted by the realisation that the person responsible for these deaths is his father Big Ed (Jack Chatham).

In order to survive this ordeal, Ed has to watch his father be cut in half after he and Pam impale him with a car.

So, having been responsible for the death of both your mother and father, it's totally understandable that Ed Jr. might be seen drowning his sorrows.
