10 More Horror Final Girls Who Didn't Survive Their Movie

5. Kristy Earl - Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek is a fascinating example, because it actually kills off two potential Final Girls within mere minutes of each other in the third act of the movie.

Initially, audiences might assume that the headstrong British tourist Liz (Cassandra Magrath) will defeat or escape the sadistic Aussie serial killer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt), but roughly 20 minutes before the end, she's stabbed in the spine by Mick, paralysing her.

Though we don't see Liz's death on-screen, there's virtually no possibility of her making it out alive.

The perspective then shifts to her pal Kristy (Kestie Morassi), who we assume by default is now the Final Girl, being the only female character left in the movie.

But alas, barely five minutes after Liz gets taken out, Kristy is shot dead by Mick while trying to escape.

The perspective then shifts again to their friend Ben (Nathan Phillips), who has been absent for most of the movie and yet manages to escape as the sole, ironically male, survivor.
