10 Most Unfortunate Victims In Horror Movies

2. The Female Troglodytes - Bone Tomahawk

In S. Craig Zahler's Western horror, a gang of cave-dwelling cannibals kidnaps several locals, compelling Sheriff Hunt (Kurt Russell) to lead a posse to bring them back.

To put it nicely, things don't go well. To put things bluntly, the majority of the group end up scalped, skewered, or eaten. When Hunt locates the troglodytes' domain, he and his squad are imprisoned and forced to watch their friend being torn in half like a wishbone.

Although this man's death is Bone Tomahawk's most iconic moment, there is another set of characters that suffer a crueler fate. As the survivors escape, they stumble upon two tribeswomen who are limbless, pregnant, and bound. Not only that, the duo have pegs rammed into their eye sockets.

Though this pair are never directly addressed, it implies the female troglodytes' only purpose is to breed. This also explains why no cave-dwelling women have been seen up until this point. To ensure they don't escape, the males take away the females' arms, legs, and eyes. 

Not only do these females live a life without sight or movement, they're forced to mate and carry children against their will.
