10 More Horror Movie Characters Who Didn't Know They Were The Victim
6. John Baxter - Don't Look Now
Don't Look Now is one of the greatest horror films of all time, as married couple John and Laura Baxter (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) head to Venice while grieving the accidental drowning death of their daughter.
Once they arrive, two elderly clairvoyants inform them that their daughter is attempting to warn them that John is in danger.
John meanwhile begins witnessing strange, surreal visions, such as a small figure wearing the same red coat his daughter wore when she died, and Laura on a boat that's part of a funeral cortège, despite the fact that Laura wasn't even in Venice at this point.
At the end of the movie, John again sees the red-coated figure and follows them, after which they're revealed to be not a child but a dwarf.
More to the point, they're the serial killer who has been mentioned to be terrorising Venice, who then mortally wounds John with a meat cleaver.
As John dies, he realises that his visions were actually premonitions of his own murder and funeral, and that he was the victim all along.
