10 MORE Horror Movies Where The Victim Is More Dangerous Than The Villain
7. Crystal - The Hunt
In Craig Zobel's satyrical horror, Crystal awakens alongside several strangers in a field, only to learn they're being hunted as "deplorables" by wealthy elites.
Having no understanding of their surroundings or enemies, most of the hunted are overcome with panic, making it easier for the elite to put them down.
Crystal, on the other hand, served in Afghanistan and so proves to be astoundingly adaptable. She evades and overwhelms the hunters, killing most of them single-handedly. Several victims believe in safety in numbers, encouraging them to befriend Crystal. But Crystal only looks out for herself, since the others constantly jeopardise her chances of survival.
After making short work of the elites, Crystal learns the location of their boss, an entrepreneur called Athena Stone. During the climax, Athena explains how each of the deplorables spread false rumours online about her, destroying her reputation.
Based on this revelation, it's assumed Crystal was one of the people who unfairly lampooned Athena. However, she reveals Athena mixed her up with an online troll with a similar name, meaning Crystal is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Even though Crystal kills Athena moments later, watching her disarm the disgraced mogul with simple facts is equally satisfying.
