10 Toughest Dilemmas In Horror Movies

5. Would You Rescue Your Bullies From A Serial Killer? - Piggy

Last year's Spanish horror film Piggy introduced a uniquely provocative dilemma, as an overweight teenage girl, Sara (Laura Galán), is cruelly bullied by three girls.

Later that day, Sara witnesses the three girls being kidnapped by a serial killer (Richard Holmes), at which point she's forced to make a choice - help them, or leave the a**holes to their fates.

After all, while even the worst bullying isn't a capital offence, the profoundly detrimental effect it can have on someone's mental health - especially an easy target like Sara - speaks for itself.

You might not want to kill your bullies yourself, but won't necessarily interfere when somebody else plans to. Batman perhaps put it best - "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you."

As for Sara herself, she initially decides to ignore the bullies' pleas for help and pretend that she didn't see anything, but ultimately does the "right" thing when the killer turns up on her doorstep, eventually taking him out and freeing the two remaining bullies he hasn't yet killed.

Two outta three ain't bad, right? And you can bet your ass they won't be bothering her again.
