10 Horror Movies That Turned Wimps Into Total Badasses

2. Tuffy/Heroine 2 - Feast

If there was any more literal a transformation from wimp to badass, it's from watching Tuffy's turn in Feast - where her new role is quite literally signposted across the screen. Introduced with a short bio that denotes her as a career waitress and single mom, Tuffy's defining traits relate back to her child. That's unfortaunte, since it doesn't take long for him to get eaten by monstrous entities with an appetite for human flesh. Never quinoa, is it?

Feast sees these creatures turn up and attempt to break into a bar where Tuffy and a ragtag group of individuals are forced to hide out in, with Tuffy incapacitated by grief after the death of her son. Understandably so, considering the irony of going to rescue him only to have him grabbed through the window. But then she turns that sadness into rage - and oh boy, does she have a lot of rage.

Now labelled as 'Heroine 2' in a tongue-in-cheek revelation, she bands her group together and fights back against the monsters, brutally killing one by smashing all its teeth out and choking it to death with her arm down its throat before hacking her way to the end of the movie and making it out alive. Good.
