8 Exact Decisions That Doomed Horror Movie Protagonists

The Saw movies are well known for their tricks and intricate games, and in no film within the franchise is this more apparent than in the third instalment, Saw III. By the end of this film, it is a well known fact that John Kramer is a gentleman with a devious brain and a hankering for players of his games to stick strictly to the rules laid out in front of them.

Despite knowing this, Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda seems to believe that she is exempt from this rule. After battling for the entire movie to keep Kramer alive by kidnapping a surgeon, Amanda apparently forgets that she too is being tested by Kramer, despite him actively telling her this. Her death is brought on by her own recklessness and unwillingness to abide by the rules of her predecessor. We can hardly say that seeing her death on screen was not at least a little bit satisfying, as by this point in the franchise Amanda has made her presence known in the worst possible way.

Overall, Amanda's downfall comes from not doing the one thing that Kramer warned her of months earlier: play by the rules.
