10 MORE Horror Movies Where The Victim Is More Dangerous Than The Villain
1. Mary - American Mary
As this list proves, it's unwise to prey on someone who's highly intelligent or an experienced fighter. But as American Mary highlights, the dumbest thing a sicko can do is take advantage of a person who's well-versed in surgery.
In the film, medical student, Mary Mason, is drugged and abused by her mentor, Dr. Alan Grant, compelling her to drop out of the course. Refusing to give up on her dream or her revenge, Mary kidnaps Grant, performing surgical procedures on him to improve on her skills.
Rather than killing him, Mary keeps her abuser alive in a state of constant suffering, chopping off limbs and placing hooks into his bare skin.
At first, it's satisfying to see Grant get his comeuppance. But over time, it's difficult to watch Mary toying with his body. Adding to the humiliation, she takes pictures of Grant's mutilated body and shows them to her clients to boost her business.
Sadly, Mary's vengeance brings her little satisfaction. After embracing her dark side, Mary finds herself unable to control her urges, causing her to attack and kill innocent people, including a police officer.
Sure, Grant was a monster, but Mary proved to be infinitely more dangerous in the end.
