10 Smartest Decisions In Horror Movies

4. Erin - You're Next

The Shining Danny Jack
Lionsgate

If you ever want to be anyone in a horror movie - and that's probably an incredibly ill-advised idea considering all the death and maiming - you'd want to be Erin. And you should be like Erin in everyday life, since she's a clear badass who makes all the right choices as she almost single-handedly takes down a home invasion racket and lives to see the end of it.

Armed with survivalist training from a 'strange upbringing' that allows her to set up brutally effective traps, Erin is the sort of person that can take down a group of professional killers with an old blender, a camera flash, and a bit of string - albeit if a maul is attached to the other end, but still. And it's not just her techniques for taking down her assailants that are clever, but her reactions and preparations as well; when cornered, she punches straight for the throat, and when attacked, she plays dead.

She constantly has one up on the invaders and isn't afraid to pummel them into raspberry jam when the time calls for it.
