10 Predictable Horror Movie Deaths We All Saw Coming

8. Richard - Revenge

Nightmare On Elm Street 4
Shudder/Neon

Considering the whole theme of this movie is 'Revenge', right down to it being the singular title word, we already know that Jennifer is going to lay down the law and get her payback on this monster for her attempted murder earlier in the film. Revenge movies play out in one direction, after all, and it would be entirely unsatisfying to not see the pain inflicted on our protagonist reflected back on those that harmed her.

Assaulted, disrespected, and left for dead, Jen rises like a phoenix from the ashes to dish out some bloody desserts in this deliciously paced action-horror, and it is Richard that is the ultimate target for his self-assured disposal of a human woman he think he can get away with.

Watching Jen build herself into a one-woman killing machine pays off in exuberant fashion, as she hunts the naked, bloodied Richard and shoots him down in one of the most impressive final acts a revenge film could dish out.

In short, the genre of this film wouldn't work without Richard's death, but that doesn't make it any less satisfying.
