10 More Worst Fates Suffered By Heroes In Horror Movies
5. Tim Russell - Oculus
In Oculus, siblings Kaylie and Tim Russell are left traumatised when their father inexplicably murders their mother. Ten years later, Kaylie returns to the old house with Tim, trying to convince him their dad's actions were caused by his haunted mirror.
Tim refuses to believe Kaylie's claims, adamant there's no supernatural explanation why their father was driven to murder. Although Kaylie has set up a swinging anchor to smash their dad's mirror to pieces, she wants to prove her theory to Tim before destroying it.
Throughout the night, the mirror compels the Russells to hallucinate, causing Tim to slowly but surely realise Kaylie was right all along. Convinced the mirror is evil, Tim activates the anchor to destroy it.
Sadly, Tim doesn't realise the mirror has lured Kaylie towards it at this moment, causing the anchor to impale her. Just to really rub salt on the wounds, Tim's "murder" was caught on film, giving him zero alibi.
After he's arrested by the police, Tim is inconsolable, fully aware there's no way to convince anyone he's innocent. What's worse is he knows there's nothing to stop the mirror from killing and incriminating more hapless victims in the future.
