10 Terrifying Horror Movie Deaths You Don't Remember

4. Timothy Young - Saw III

Green Inferno
Lionsgate

To some, Saw III is the moment the Saw franchise hit a downward spiral (no pun intended), whilst to others it was the last passable picture in the series for several years. Regardless of your thoughts on this threequel, Saw III delivered one of the most underrated, brutal, oft-forgotten kills of the entire nine-picture series.

Played by Mpho Koaho, Timothy Young is a drunk-driver who, thanks to the tropes and literal trappings of the Saw franchise, finds himself a part of the traditional twisted games of the IP.

Confronted by the father of the young boy he drunkenly killed, Timothy is strapped to a machine that literally pulls him apart. For Tim, his legs are twisted out of place, his arms are likewise pulled in all kinds of directions, and finally he's decapitated.

The chilly death of Danica may be the most memorable demise from Saw III, but Timothy's is handily the most disgusting and terrifying. With a tenth Saw picture currently in development, any future entries in the franchise will have a hard time topping the decimation of Koaho's doomed character.
