5. Camera Trick - You're Next

You're Next starts out as your typical horror film. The Davison family holds a reunion at their home, but what begins as a night of festivities soon becomes a bloodbath once crossbow-wielding masked men attack. Among the guests, there's heroine Erin, who is at the house with boyfriend Crispin Davison

As the danger escalates, Erin keeps a cool head and aids the rest of the family in order to survive. But she is no typical final girl. In fact, Sharni Vincent's character was raised in a survivalist compound, having learned all the ways to fight and fend off possible threats. Erin is so formidable, she kills all three masked assailants while dispatching of the traitors within the Davison family.

Still, Erin's best moment in the film is near its end. After she killed Tiger Mask and Lamb Mask, she lures the last invader, Fox Mask, into the dark basement. She then activates a camera and uses it to keep flashing in the darkness. With the disorientation of the flash, the killer realizes too late that Erin has baited him into a trap. Before he can react, the young woman cracks his skull and kills him.
