10 Predictable Horror Movie Deaths We All Saw Coming

7. Yoga Pants - The Hunt

Nightmare On Elm Street 4
Universal Pictures

Now, you might be wondering why I've put a choice on here that's designed to be a surprise death in the film, but hear me out: it's signposted from very early on that Yoga Pants, aka Emma Roberts, is ripe for the kill count.

Take a look at any of the film's marketing and the only scenes with her in are from the opening gambit - where a bunch of human captives realise they're being hunted for sport - something you'll notice as soon as the open field comes into shot. There are no more clips of her anywhere else in the trailers, so there's already suspicions raised as to how far she'll go as soon as she's introduced.

Then simply realise she's Emma Roberts. Continually typecast in roles where she plays the clueless, snotty rich kid who looks down on her peers and says 'totally' far too much, Roberts is bound for the slaughterhouse when she crops up in a politically aggressive film that frowns on 'millennials'.

There was simply no way she's making it out of this alive, really, even more so since she's brought in as an early focal character. The timing might have been a shocker, granted, but the event itself was written in blood.
