10 Unexpected Horror Movie Survivors

Sometimes, being outside the 1% can make it feel like the odds are stacked against you. So, imagine a movie where wealthy elites hunt down the working class - you probably shouldn't expect to come out of that day trip with your head intact. That's where Crystal May comes in.

Played impressively by Betty Gilpin, Crystal is the Rambo-like hero of this thriller, as she takes the fight to the hunters and shows they've bitten off more than they can chew. Although she's undeniably badass, it was still a surprise when she reached the end credits.

She's an unexpected survivor on two counts. The first is that the film deliberately suckers you in with fake-out protagonists. You follow Emma Roberts at first, assuming she's the lead, then boom - bullet to the head. The same thing happens with Ike Barinholtz's character afterwards. Thus, everyone expected to have the rug pulled out from under them again after Crystal took over. But, she was not such a weakling.

The other unexpected survival factor came during her savage showdown at the film's climax. She and the villain Athena (played by Hilary Swank) tore the place down, and both suffered fatal wounds, implying mutually assured destruction. But, once the dust had settled, she managed to hop up, fix her injuries and stroll away with a nice bottle of champagne. Crystal, you earned those bubbles!
