10 More Horror Movie Characters Who Didn't Know They Were The Victim
8. Taylor Gentry - Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon
Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon is a terrific horror mockumentary in which journalist Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) and her crew follow an aspiring serial killer, Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel), as he prepares to embark on a rampage he hopes will put him firmly on the map.
Leslie plans out his killing spree to match the conventions of slasher movies, to the extent that his pièce de résistance is a showdown with the Final Girl, a virgin named Kelly (Kate Miner).
Taylor and her crew ultimately have a crisis of conscience on the night of the massacre and attempt to stop him, knowing the full extent of his plan - or so they think.
However, it turns out that Leslie bait-and-switched them, as Kelly is soon revealed to not be a virgin and therefore not the Final Girl, moments before she's brutally killed.
Taylor then announces that she herself is a virgin, revealing her to be the real Final Girl as Leslie intended all along.
Though in fairness, Leslie's plan always involved him eventually being killed by Taylor, as he is at the end, albeit not before thoroughly terrorising her.
