10 More Worst Fates Suffered By Heroes In Horror Movies
9. David Mills - Se7en
In Se7en, homicide detectives Somerset and Mills are tasked with bringing down a psychopath called John Doe who uses a Seven Deadly Sins motif to kill his victims.
After five people are slaughtered, Doe suddenly surrenders to the police. He then orders Somerset and Mills to follow him to a specific location, where they should find the last two victims, Envy and Wrath.
After arriving at their destination, a delivery van drops a box by the detectives' feet. When Somerset inspects it, he finds the package contains the head of Mills' pregnant wife. Doe explains how he killed her out of Envy, which will encourage Mills to succumb to Wrath and shoot him dead.
Failing to talk Mills down, Somerset is forced to watch his partner blow Doe's brains out. Even though it looks like Mills' wife has been avenged, Doe got exactly what he wanted. Not only did he claim all seven victims, Mills lost his wife and unborn child. What's worse is Mills is arrested immediately after, since he executed an unarmed convict.
Mills has to spend the rest of his days incarcerated, knowing full well that the murderer of his wife and child won.
