10 More Unexpected Horror Movie Survivors
7. Amber Sweet - Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
Wait, so you've got Paris Hilton in your movie filled to the brim with gory-as-hell violence and a boatload of murder, and you don't kill her off? That's like being offered Trail Mix and picking the raisins.
The criminally underrated Repo! The Genetic Opera is a bizarre yet thrilling horror experience that combines bloody mayhem with toe-tapping songs. However, one of the biggest shocks is that filmmakers Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich had the chance to kill off the infamous Paris Hilton and didn't take it.
Hilton appears in the movie as the spoiled daughter of the powerful and rich antagonist, a role she's undoubtedly accustomed to. She ultimately does a great job in the film, but the viewers expecting her to bite the bullet House of Wax-style were let down in the end.
The film even teases some destruction for Amber, as her face literally falls off during a gruesome singing performance. Yet, not only is she still alive by the film's climax, she has inherited her father's company and is set to become the most influential person in the world.
Who could have seen that coming?
