10 INSANE Kills From Recent Horror Movies
5. Hal - Choose Or Die
Method of Death: Drowned.
Netflix's Choose or Die may have ultimately been a pretty unremarkable horror film, but it does get a few points for a number of creatively WTF death scenes, particularly villain Hal's (Eddie Marsan) demise at the hands of protagonist Kayla (Eddie Marsan).
In order to triumph over the cursed video game CURS>R, a game which causes her to experience deadly horrors in real life, Kayla must face off against the final boss, Hal, another player who made copies of the game in order to prevent his own death.
The big twist of this final confrontation, though, is that any physical damage incurred by either Kayla or Hal is instead inflicted upon the other person, and so a completely unhinged fight takes place in which they both "hurt" themselves in order to harm the other.
This culminates in Hal slitting his own throat in an attempt to kill Kayla, causing her to fall into Hal's swimming pool while carrying a heavy statue.
And so, before Hal can do anything else, water begins to pour from his nose and mouth as he drowns despite not being submerged in a body of water.
In a film that so often deigned to chintzy techno-horror tropes, this was actually a pretty ingenious kill.
