10 More Horror Movie Characters You Trusted (But Shouldn't Have)

8. Megan - Dog Soldiers

The Faculty Marybeth
Pathe

Neil Marshall's deliciously entertaining Dog Soldiers follows a squad of soldiers as they fend off a fleet of werewolves in the Scottish Highlands.

Soon enough, they cross paths with cocksure zoologist Megan (Emma Cleasby), who initially helps the wounded soldiers and seemingly serves as an ally, before eventually revealing that she herself is a werewolf.

As it turns out, Megan initially hoped that the soldiers could help her escape the werewolf family she was forcibly entered into, but once she realises there's no hope, she betrays the squaddies to the wolves.

In the film's climax, Megan transforms into a werewolf and puts up quite the fight against the remaining soldiers before finally being put down in a gas explosion.

Given that Megan was earmarked as the movie's designated kick-ass femme fatale from early on, this was quite the stark turnaround, and one few saw coming.
