10 MORE Horror Movie Wishes That Went Horribly Wrong
6. Saving Her Pregnant Sister - Absentia
Mike Flanagan's indie-horror Absentia sees a pregnant woman, Tricia (Courtney Bell), struggling to deal with the reappearance of her husband after a seven year-absence, and how it relates to a mysterious tunnel which seems to be responsible for the disappearances of many local people.
At film's end, Tricia and her younger sister Callie (Katie Parker) are attacked by a monster seemingly residing within the tunnel's walls, resulting in Tricia also disappearing.
Callie later returns to the tunnel to offer the entity a trade, wishing to lay down her life in order to save that of her pregnant sister.
However, because Callie isn't specific about the nature of the deal, simply shouting "Trade!," the creature responds by materialising Tricia's bloody fetus, and when Callie attempts to flee the tunnel, the monster claims her also, leaving behind only her shoe.
In attempting to make a bargain with the creature, Callie only ensured that both herself and her pregnant sister ended up trapped in the tunnel with the entity forever more. Bummer.
