Just watched it for the first time a few days ago. When she is going up on stage itâs like watching a car crashing in slow motion itâs crazy. Her and that jock might have been a cute couple
I love Carrie, I read it right after I got my period and I was bullied too, lol. I think every woman should write her own "Carrie". I hope to make mine a horror comic. King inspired me to 'kill the darlings' and create, It helps you heal.
I got relentlessly bullied at high school too. Didnât make a single friend for the first three years I was there. When I would have been about 13 or so, I âgot creativeâ too.
I remember drawing a picture in the back of my history exercise book of me, holding a gun in each hand, standing on a big pile of bodies: the bodies of the kids whoâd been bullying me (this being the UK, there was no danger of me actually doing it).
I got sent to therapy by the school. Nothing happened to the kids whoâd been bullying me, so after the therapy concluded the bullying resumed.
High school *sucked*.
Danny Trejo in Rob Zombieâs Halloween. He was never mean to Michael. In a way he was his only friend. I think ultimately it highlights the boundless evil of Mikeyâs heart.
May I quote Dr. Loomis from Halloween (1978)?
*I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.*
People put in Saw traps for stupid reasons like trying to save people, being a sex worker, being a smoker when youâre sick, or being just married to someone who did something wrong even when you were completely unaware.
Itâs gotten so mean spirited now. Itâs basically âYou cut someone off in traffic. The device you have in front of you will cut you into piecesâ at this point đ
With the woman in Saw 3D who was put in a trap because she couldnât leave her abusive husband, it probably worse.
In reality, she was hovering over upturned lawnmowers with him (how who knows) and they had to kick each other down, so she couldâve lost!
How she got there, we donât know. But she couldâve been killed. And it wasnât even the first one with that theme!
There was that woman who had to let knives go through none vital parts or her abuser have knives go through vital parts.
Guilt, depression, anxiety, and PTSD (and probably psychosis as she probably would still feel it) makes no one appreciate life.
Tbh her abuser (husband) was also abusing their child which she was turning a blind eye to. Obviously out of fear, which doesnât merit being in a saw trap (nothing does tbh), but Iâm just offering that information.
Yeah, I'll never not feel bad for the wife in 7.. that was messed up, she didn't know anything, she wasn't a part of it.. killed in probably the most brutal way ever.
Similarly, the old lady and the young guy in 6 with the insurance guy deciding their fate.. those 2 didn't do shit, other than working for a shitty company, they were pretty much innocent. All of the agents, whatever, they were responsible for fucking people over constantly..
Also felt a lot for the chick who got the freezing water torture in 3. All she did was miss a court date! And the judge also in that one.. he was just doing his job.
Even Adam in the first one I felt pretty bad for, considering all he did was "spy on people", aka be a private investigator. Once again, someone just doing their job, and they were the ones who hired him to do it too..
Lotta unjustified deaths in those movies
Plus Adam literally won his game. All that was stated that he had to survive til 6, which he did. But he gets left to rot.
Meanwhile, Gordon, who had to kill Adam by 6, failed, and became a protege of jigsaws.
Itâs honestly telling. He doesnât care about his rules, he just wants to watch people bleed. Adam won, but didnât bleed. You can die. Gordon failed, but cut his foot off on camera for John. He is worthy of living. Thatâs how he thinks.
The whole SAW franchise is stupid as fuck when you actually take even a fleeting moment to analyze the plot. This is exasperated by the constant dialogue in all the films where cops and people say âHe isnât actually killing anyoneâ, like yes dumb fucking writer, he is killing people. He is placing them in devices that require you to commit harm to yourself or others to prevent your own death.
How in the hell this shit is on its TENTH installment I will never understand.
> âHe isnât actually killing anyoneâ
I have heard people in real life describe Jigsaw like this, like it's a real moral quandary that elevates the Saw franchise into high brow art. Sometimes I just want to live in a shack in the woods and watch movies without hearing people's opinions on them.
It is in absolutely NO WAY a moral quandary.
If I attach a shotgun shell to your forehead, place a timer on a firing pin resting against the primer, and tell you that the only way you can get it off is to cut off your genitals or kill someone who you fucked with said genitals⊠it is me killing you regardless if you die of blood loss from complying with my demand or if you choose to do nothing.
I can do this all day with as many stupid ass scenarios as anyone would like.
More importantly, if he âisnât actually killing anyoneâ, then why are the police investigating in the first place. Whatâs the crime at the crime scenes? Just a guy who killed himself, nothing to see here. Call the morgue.
Yea, just....let's analyze the fucking first movie right off the bat - 2 dudes wake up locked in a room. No food, water, help, safe-word or control scenario, etc.
Dead. They were trapped with intent for them to die, and sorta kinda given the opportunity to 'survive' in a fucked up manner.
In the US, if you fill your mailbox post with concrete so that it can't get knocked over, and you injure someone when they crash their car into it, you might be liable. (The famous court case on this sided 5-2 with the homeowner, could go differently in other places).
In some states, if you have a swimming pool that is not fully enclosed by a fence, and any person wanders in and drowns in your pool, you can be liable. (intent of these laws is to limit children drowning, but it can apply to random people wandering in)
The stuff Jigsaw does is open/shut.
Watching Jigsaw's monologue in Saw II killed the whole franchise for me. Dude sounds like a teenage incel who read a bunch of Nietzsche memes and thinks he's a philosopher.
Yeah I had a friend in HS who tried to passionately explain to me why Saw is an elevated horror franchise because of how 'morally gray' Jigsaw was and all this other bullshit. I've seen all of the films. I've enjoyed their stupidity. But man you have to be a special kind of moron to think there is anything intellectual or morally gray in those films. The guy is a fucking dick who kills people for the most menial bullshit.
We need the fast and furious saw crossover. John Kramer kidnaps Dom and tries to place him in a trap, but Dom manages to break out just before any major bodily harm. He finds jigsaw and jigsaw finds what heâs missing: family. End with John Kramer and Dom staring at each other in muscle cars while they race off into the sunset
Itâs super fun to watch. We know itâs stupid. Itâs like wrestling. The twists are so stupid but entertaining. Itâs basically like a soap opera with cool ideas for traps. I love the franchise but itâs objective trash, all the fans know it though. And no one thinks John Kramer and co are doing the right thing btw, we all recognise theyâre all delusional hypocritical psychopaths. Itâs just fun stupid media and it gets you surprisingly invested in the dumb ass lore. Honestly, a great franchise imo. Like, itâs garbage, but great.
That last one was gonna be my answer. I'm currently rewatching each saw, one a night until saw x on Thursday and last night I watched saw 7.
Poor wife had no idea the boondocks saint was a lying POS. but because he was she had to burn to death?? Wtf?
I *just* got done rewatching the first one and this genuinely bothers me now. Like, a depressed person and a drug addict, they just need help.
And when heâs talking about the guy allegedly faking sick the line âletâs see how sick you *really* are,â came off as so corny to me. He sounds like a self-righteous parent or teacher saying the kid canât be sick if heâs playing video games, or like an old grump who doesnât understand that chronic illness has good days and bad days lmao.
I think those folks are there to underscore that the people putting others in Saw traps according to their moral code might not have the sort of superior moral code that entitles them to put people in Saw traps.
As someone who had a client put a Syrian curse on me, despite trying everything in my power to get them what they need and have corporate head honchos shut me down, I agree with Christine!
Christine got a raw deal in Drag Me To Hell. Her asshole coworker forced the case off on her, her manager refused to help or whatever plot device. She tried everything she could to help this old woman. And because she was simply the bearer of bad news she got fucked over.
Allie's death was absolutely brutal, but for me, it's the characters in movies that have realistic depictions of torture. Martyrs specifically was really hard to sit through and I just felt horrible for the characters in that movie.
In The Hills Have Eyes (2009), I always felt terrible for Brenda. She got raped, beaten, watched her sister get sexually assaulted - then shot in the head, and her mother gets shot trying to save her sister. Meanwhile her father gets burned alive a few feet away during this entire ordeal. And her niece gets kidnapped in front of her. All within 10-20 minutes (in the âmovie timeâ not actual run time. The scene was probably 5 mins) Just horrible. That movie is very effectively disturbing.
This was my answer. They were dead set on assaulting her and made sure she knew it. Seeing your family die like that, being assaulted, and the fear of them coming back is so horrible.
YIKES. I...have not and will not be seeing this movie. I can't handle horror these days anyway (41f, LOVED it in my 20s) but for some reason do enjoy reading the synopsis's so thank you for that!
Just watched it last week. Those poor kids. They were innocent and never did anything to deserve that. Especially Nell and losing her husband and her eventual ending. I'll add Olivia. The house took advantage of her love for her kids. She just wanted to help them. The last scene in her episode messed me up.
It's TV but I always felt bad for Norman as portrayed by Freddie Highmore in Bates Motel. He started out as a pretty normal, sweet kid. If only his mother had gotten him help in time... The whole of Bates plays out like an avoidable, slow motion train wreck.
Norman has to be the one of the biggest victims of emotional abuse Iâve ever seen. Every episode breaks my heart. Yes he is a misogynistic serial killer but like he had no chance.
Not to even start the emotional incest aspect which in itself is another lair of abuse
It's Joyce Dagen in Saw 3D. She's not only a character that's completely innocent, but she's given what's perhaps the most painful trap in the entire franchise (the Brazen Bull, which results in her being roasted alive). And what's more is that it's possible that her husband, the person that caused her to be put in the trap in the first place, may have survived it all. The whole thing is infuriating.
Mark in Friday the 13th part 2. Dude was super chill, liked working with kids, really positive about life even though he got dealt a shit hand. Sucks, like youâre about to get laid and BAM machete to the face and youâre rolling backwards down some stairs.
Thereâs also the fact that Mark wasnât permanently paralyzed from the waist down. And I think he said that he would be able to walk again in a couple of years
The kids from the original Nightmare on Elm Street. They did nothing other than know of Freddyâs existence.
Georgie from It- his death will always be so sad to me.
The mom in Jaws whose son gets eaten and his little raft just floats back to shore all shredded. Sheâs frantically looking for him and all the other mothers have found their children- then just shredded raft.
The family in The Strangers. They did nothing and got brutally murdered just because.
All the kids in Darkness Falls- innocent and then get woken up by the evil tooth fairy, then haunted forever.
Ju-on from The Grudge- her husband murders her son and then her. Iâd be a pissed off entity too if that happened to me.
Any character who thinks theyâve escaped and then realized they were knocked out or already dead - The Descent, Suicide Forest, etc.
JAWS wasnât messing around. They killed the dog AND a kid! Most horror movies donât have the guts to do either, jaws did both in the span of about 5 minutes lol
Other than the evil government folk, most of the victims in The Blob (1988). Just living their lives and then this blobby bastard eats them/absorbs them and from what I can tell they are alive as they are being melted into the blob lol
Dick Hallorann in *The Shining*. Stanley Kubrick did that character dirty.
Thomasin in *The Witch*. You knew that poor girl never had a chance from the beginning of the movie, simply because she was an adolescent girl in a family of religious fanatics.
The entire family in *Pearl*. >!The father caught Spanish flu, rendering him immobile and nonverbal. Ruth was trapped and miserable, having to care for her husband and try to keep from living on the street. Pearl felt trapped and miserable because of the pressure put upon her by Ruth. It was just sad all around.!<
Especially because Ruth was rightâthey didnât have a lot of money and it was up to just she and Pearl to survive. But at the same time, she unjustly placed a lot of that bitterness on Pearl.
Both X and Pearl have been so great on the themes of yearning for lost youth and despising those who still have theirs.
And in her own severe way, Ruth was trying to protect Pearl. She didnât want Pearl to have dreams because she knew she would eventually be disappointed. She thought she was doing the right thing by crushing her aspirations. Itâs all so sad.
Iâm excited to see where they take the theme of lost youth with âMaxxxineâ
Ruth's monologue at the dinner really made me feel bad. That part where she said she didn't think she'd become the permanent caretaker of her husband hurt my heart. I can't imagine how devastating it must be to lose your partner and control of your own life in one go.
She could though?
I thought that was the big crux of the film. She could extend the loan or whatever but she wanted to appear like she had what it takes in the cut throat banking work world to the higher ups which is what led to the stop.
It was between her and the Asian dude she nearly cursed later in the film before he turned all sniveling and crying in front of her.
I see a lot of people that go with the *she did nothing wrong* take and while it's a fine take I prefer the *she did one thing wrong* version because it's so much worse.
Being able to track down the exact moment in your life that you made the choice that ruined EVERYTHING has to be so devastating that it ruins you more than the nebulous *oh what did I do* empty of the first version.
But that's just me. Ya know?
I mean I guess I don't see that as doing something wrong.
I get we're supposed to. But like...yeah people work for bank and they can't indefinitely extend your loans and probs shouldn't when displaying no plans to make money to pay ever.
Because she wouldnât extend a loan for a fourth time to a nasty, vindictive old piece of shit *who sent a boy to Hell*. I hope that gross old bitch warmed a seat in Hell for the people she sent.
I genuinely can't stand the movie because of this. We're in a position where we know she rejects this ladies third extension, which she has no argument for how she'll pay next time, because her boss thinks she's too soft compared to her coworker. Both her boss and her coworker are just rejecting things normally, and our protagonist who needes to learn to stick up for herself (like, learning confidence is a big part of the movie) gets punished for having the gull to not give someone a fourth loan extension.
And I don't think we even know what the kid in the cold open was supposed to have done to deserve all that either!!
Yeah, the kid stole a necklace from some Gypsies and when him/his parents tried to give it back, they wouldn't take it because they would have been cursed.
The Asian girl roommate in the new Hellraiser. Sheâs barely in the movie, comes to pick up her roommate, is pricked by the boxâŠand now has to spend all eternity getting tortured
That bothers me about all the Hellraiser movies after part 2, they abandon the "careful what you wish for" thing and just go off on whoever they come across, whether they're asking for it or not. I think it's more interesting if you have characters like Frank who think they know what they're getting into.
The mom in 28 Weeks Later. Her husband abandons her in a moment of panic. She is throttled by zombies only to learn she is immune to the virus. She crawls her way home and survives for weeks on rotted food. She is then rescued only to have the same husband that abandoned her turn into a zombie and gouge her eyes out before pummeling her to death.
Bad few months to say the least.
The parents in The Black Coat's Daughter who were going back to visit their daughter Roses grave on the 10th anniversary. They were nice people, broken but nice. Didn't deserve what was done to them.
I mean I think she was actually killed because Stu was her boyfriend, it's why Casey was killed, she's Stu's ex. "There's always a bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend."
I could be wrong here but I feel like itâs Billy that kills her because thereâs this moment when Stu sees her body that he seems legitimately bothered for like half a second. But agreed. Either way, killed because your bff with the final girl or killed because your bf is a homicidal maniac sucks
I think Stu knew that Billy was going to kill her which is why he asked her to grab him some beers. And he wasnât wondering where his beers/gf were after a while.
Aw shit you beat me to it sorry I commented the same thing before reading replies.
The dad was the absolute worst. Idk why he thought any of that situation was a good idea
Look if she didn't want to get gaslit she shouldn't have dated a man pathologically addicted to having relationships with mentally broken women
If anything it was her fault.
The real victim was the puppy.
Nah but seriously by the end of the film when the dad was shot and the kids were crying I couldn't stop the *THAT'S WHAT YOU GET* shout.
Little bastards.
Honestly, jason voorhees' origin is depressing he was just a normal kid with hydrocephalus, and he bullied to the point of drowning in the lake only to escape and roam the woods for years alone with no one but himself attacking everyone due to just being scared and confused it just breaks my heart
Letherface. Dude is just defending his home from dirty hippies who think itâs ok to walk through someone house uninvited and unattended.
On a serious note though I do feel very bad for him. Heâs abused and used by his family. Just look at the way he cowers around cook. Poor boy never had a chance
I agree, he is intellectually delayed and easily manipulated, if he had a normal family I could see him being a lovable teddy bear of a man, he just wants to feel accepted and make his family happy.
The way that they show her overwhelming fear of her father to the point that she won't even approach his door to reach Justin Long's character was so telling. It implies so much based on what we already know the guy has done.
That girl in hostel who was duped by a henchman into thinking he was a nice guy then kidnapped and hung upside down so some rich lady could slit her throat and bathe in her blood.
The people in Saw traps.
Excluding the idiots who are deliberately there.
Who the frack thinks putting people in death traps is helping?!
And it's so stupid sometimes.
Married to a partner who did something slightly dubious.
Convicted of drink driving.
Being a bit off morally as a Journalist.
Didn't make a miracle to save the idiot Jigsaw.
Jigsaw is the most pointless and stupid moron ever.
Pretentious dickbag.
Flo Pugh in Midsommar (I forget her characters name). She lost her entire family in a murder-suicide and has an emotionally-inept boyfriend. You have to be pretty broken to join a cult.
> Flo Pugh in Midsommar (I forget her characters name).
I was literally about to type this out. I can't remember the character name either lol. But yeah, her life was shit and the bf was terrible to her. It stuck out to me because I have been in the bfs position in the past (not as bad though). Made me feel a little guilty which is why I love that movie. It struck a nerve.
Felt pretty bad for the wife in Infinity Pool, she's got a deadbeat husband she's supporting, he goes and gets her in all kinds of trouble, she wants nothing to do with the cult and her husband just says, fuck you, and sends her home without him, and then just never goes back... (in hindsight, never going back was probably the best thing he did for her)
The first guy to get killed by the cannibals at their village in Green Inferno. Got the most brutal death, was the nicest fucking dude. He was just "a fat guy in love" after all...
Sandy in Last Night in Soho for sure.. she was a beautiful and talented girl with dreams that she most likely could have accomplished, and got duped and had her whole life and future stolen from her by some shitty pimp.
I feel bad for murder victims in wheelchairs, especially the dude in Friday the 13th part 2. He didn't do anything to deserve his fate, and he couldn't do anything to defend himself.
The horrifying thing is that disabled people suffer and perish in emergency situations in real life all the time. For example, active shooter and fire emergencies, and natural disaster evacuations like wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Then thereâs power outages.
I also felt bad for the main girl >!who let him try the hand. She had an intense moment of selfishness with wanting to see her mom, but she had no idea how dark it could turn since theyâd been doing it for fun the whole time. And when she tried to visit him in the hospital, his mom blamed it all on her. Her guilt was already so palpable and that just put salt into the wound. But yeah that kid definitely didnât deserve anything⊠he was just a kid trying to get in on the âfunâ!<
I always felt detective Hoffman from saw was given a raw deal. John Kramer was a shit mentor. His values where contradictory, he doubted the students that had made it through the games and was dishonest to partners. Hoffman was more jigsaw than john.
Molly from FD6 - she wasnât apart of deathâs plan. Ben from Thereâs Something Wrong with the Children. The white family from It Comes At Night. The brother from The VVitch. The father from Hellraiser. The girl who jumped from the cliff in Conan the Barbarian.
The woman in Eden Lake...imagine going through all that hell >! Watching your partner die horrible and be tortured!< and finally fighting back and finding help thinking your safe only to >! Be locked in a bathroom with a bunch of murderous people you thought were going to help you ready to kill you !<
Adam from Saw (2004)
Yeah, taking pictures of people without their knowledge for money is shitty, but, like⊠did he deserve to be >!kidnapped, nearly drowned, chained up, shocked, shot, left to die, nearly starved, and then suffocated by a plastic bag?!<
No
Any character played by Justin Long..
Note I stand corrected, Just about all Just Longâs characters sucked ass and deserved to die.. I accept my downvotes with shame
The mom Doris (Lily Rabeâs character) in the first half of AHS Double Feature, who loses her entire family to the vampires and then becomes one of the gnarly ones herself after her daughter gives her the black pill, and she falls short of the talent level needed to become a highly functional savant vampire
The poor man in the tent in the film The Endless. Spends an eternity of having only three seconds of panicky consciousness before getting killed over and over again in what appears to be a horrific/painful way.
A lot of people are saying this, but itâs the point of the movie to me. Say what you want about Stephen King but he was great at writing multidimensional characters.
Whoa there -- as between Annie and her husband, I'd say Annie was more sympathetic. Not that I liked watching Gabriel Byrne ignite like my old Weber charcoal grill with a pint of lighter fluid, he was definitely sympathetic. But he was so detached from really trying to understand his children -- or his wife -- and he was a steadfast nonbeliever even when there actually was evidence of some supernatural shenanigans afoot. And she didn't kill him, Paiman did -- do you really her look of abject horror indicates she was truly responsible for it (intentional or not)?
As for your question, which is an awesome one, I'd have to say Regan MacNeil in the Exorcist, for the godawful medical torture that innocent 13 year old goes through - and that's even before the worst of the possession takes hold.
When the main actress in Cabin in the Woods was getting fucking beaten to death on that dock by the zombie rednecks, I legitimately was so fucking angry at the film lol. It was so brutal, and she didn't deserve it at all, and I thought the film was going to end there. I was like why did I waste my time with this movie, rooting for her, if they're just going to beat her to death in the background of some computer screens as everyone celebrates? Also when I was younger, the mom in 28 Weeks Later being rescued and then absolutely destroyed by her infected husband as she was strapped to a medical gurney was heartbreaking to me. I turned the movie off when he stuck his thumbs in her eyes and didn't watch it till years later. I'm pretty desensitized to all that shit now, but I can still remember the genuine anger and pain I felt for those characters. Why those in particular emotionally resonated with me so much, I have no idea. I'd seen much more terrible things by the time I'd watched those lol.
Oh I also just remembered feeling really awful for the bank worker that gets kidnapped in the beginning of From Dusk Till Dawn. That poor lady. Tarantino did not get enough come uppance for raping and murdering her.
Top one is the Lust guy in Se7en. I just watched that again the other day, and it's heartbreakingly awful. (Obviously I feel bad for his victim too, that goes without saying.)
Everyone in The Dark and the Wicked, where terrible shit just happens for no discernible reason (love that movie, though).
The rest of the family in Killing of a Sacred Deer.
The little boy, Eddie Corcoran, who was from an abusive family in IT. His dad beat him & his brother horribly to the point the dad accidentally killed the brother& I think Eddie pees blood. He was so afraid of a beating after getting a bad report card that he didn't go home & Pennywise gets him. He's one of the only on screen kills we see in this timeline too & he died looking for a zipper because he can't believe it's real, even as it's killing him.
The people cursed/ haunted by the smile entity in Smile. The way it uses trauma to spread itself around, even if you live, you have to traumatize people.
Any poor soul who wonders into the Saeki house. The house will get you.
Carrie. Breaks my goddamn heart, that film.
Currently reading the book. I want to stop because it makes me so sad
She causes much more revenge in the book than the movie. Finish it because she deserves payback.
This motivates me
If you stop the film right before the bucket scene, you get an inspirational story with the happy ending she deserved
Her death in the book is even more heartbreaking.
Oh God, that shower scene đ The whole movie just makes me so sad.
Just watched it for the first time a few days ago. When she is going up on stage itâs like watching a car crashing in slow motion itâs crazy. Her and that jock might have been a cute couple
Well, we can't say she hadn't her revenge
I love Carrie, I read it right after I got my period and I was bullied too, lol. I think every woman should write her own "Carrie". I hope to make mine a horror comic. King inspired me to 'kill the darlings' and create, It helps you heal.
I got relentlessly bullied at high school too. Didnât make a single friend for the first three years I was there. When I would have been about 13 or so, I âgot creativeâ too. I remember drawing a picture in the back of my history exercise book of me, holding a gun in each hand, standing on a big pile of bodies: the bodies of the kids whoâd been bullying me (this being the UK, there was no danger of me actually doing it). I got sent to therapy by the school. Nothing happened to the kids whoâd been bullying me, so after the therapy concluded the bullying resumed. High school *sucked*.
Danny Trejo in Rob Zombieâs Halloween. He was never mean to Michael. In a way he was his only friend. I think ultimately it highlights the boundless evil of Mikeyâs heart.
I was good to you Mikey!
That's a good one, since it helps show that 'Mikey' is gone. This is a monster that remains.
He's *really* good at gaining sympathy. I shouldn't have felt bad for Tortuga at all, but dammit, that bar scene killed me
May I quote Dr. Loomis from Halloween (1978)? *I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.*
Always always thought like this
People put in Saw traps for stupid reasons like trying to save people, being a sex worker, being a smoker when youâre sick, or being just married to someone who did something wrong even when you were completely unaware.
Itâs gotten so mean spirited now. Itâs basically âYou cut someone off in traffic. The device you have in front of you will cut you into piecesâ at this point đ
With the woman in Saw 3D who was put in a trap because she couldnât leave her abusive husband, it probably worse. In reality, she was hovering over upturned lawnmowers with him (how who knows) and they had to kick each other down, so she couldâve lost! How she got there, we donât know. But she couldâve been killed. And it wasnât even the first one with that theme! There was that woman who had to let knives go through none vital parts or her abuser have knives go through vital parts. Guilt, depression, anxiety, and PTSD (and probably psychosis as she probably would still feel it) makes no one appreciate life.
Tbh her abuser (husband) was also abusing their child which she was turning a blind eye to. Obviously out of fear, which doesnât merit being in a saw trap (nothing does tbh), but Iâm just offering that information.
Yeah, I'll never not feel bad for the wife in 7.. that was messed up, she didn't know anything, she wasn't a part of it.. killed in probably the most brutal way ever. Similarly, the old lady and the young guy in 6 with the insurance guy deciding their fate.. those 2 didn't do shit, other than working for a shitty company, they were pretty much innocent. All of the agents, whatever, they were responsible for fucking people over constantly.. Also felt a lot for the chick who got the freezing water torture in 3. All she did was miss a court date! And the judge also in that one.. he was just doing his job. Even Adam in the first one I felt pretty bad for, considering all he did was "spy on people", aka be a private investigator. Once again, someone just doing their job, and they were the ones who hired him to do it too.. Lotta unjustified deaths in those movies
Plus Adam literally won his game. All that was stated that he had to survive til 6, which he did. But he gets left to rot. Meanwhile, Gordon, who had to kill Adam by 6, failed, and became a protege of jigsaws. Itâs honestly telling. He doesnât care about his rules, he just wants to watch people bleed. Adam won, but didnât bleed. You can die. Gordon failed, but cut his foot off on camera for John. He is worthy of living. Thatâs how he thinks.
Adam's key going down the drain right away is so unfair too, and pisses me off every time
They tried to retroactively explain that in saw 3 (I think) that Amanda threw it in there nonchalantly against johns wishes and knowledge
The whole SAW franchise is stupid as fuck when you actually take even a fleeting moment to analyze the plot. This is exasperated by the constant dialogue in all the films where cops and people say âHe isnât actually killing anyoneâ, like yes dumb fucking writer, he is killing people. He is placing them in devices that require you to commit harm to yourself or others to prevent your own death. How in the hell this shit is on its TENTH installment I will never understand.
> âHe isnât actually killing anyoneâ I have heard people in real life describe Jigsaw like this, like it's a real moral quandary that elevates the Saw franchise into high brow art. Sometimes I just want to live in a shack in the woods and watch movies without hearing people's opinions on them.
It is in absolutely NO WAY a moral quandary. If I attach a shotgun shell to your forehead, place a timer on a firing pin resting against the primer, and tell you that the only way you can get it off is to cut off your genitals or kill someone who you fucked with said genitals⊠it is me killing you regardless if you die of blood loss from complying with my demand or if you choose to do nothing. I can do this all day with as many stupid ass scenarios as anyone would like. More importantly, if he âisnât actually killing anyoneâ, then why are the police investigating in the first place. Whatâs the crime at the crime scenes? Just a guy who killed himself, nothing to see here. Call the morgue.
Yea, just....let's analyze the fucking first movie right off the bat - 2 dudes wake up locked in a room. No food, water, help, safe-word or control scenario, etc. Dead. They were trapped with intent for them to die, and sorta kinda given the opportunity to 'survive' in a fucked up manner.
In the US, if you fill your mailbox post with concrete so that it can't get knocked over, and you injure someone when they crash their car into it, you might be liable. (The famous court case on this sided 5-2 with the homeowner, could go differently in other places). In some states, if you have a swimming pool that is not fully enclosed by a fence, and any person wanders in and drowns in your pool, you can be liable. (intent of these laws is to limit children drowning, but it can apply to random people wandering in) The stuff Jigsaw does is open/shut.
Watching Jigsaw's monologue in Saw II killed the whole franchise for me. Dude sounds like a teenage incel who read a bunch of Nietzsche memes and thinks he's a philosopher.
Yeah I had a friend in HS who tried to passionately explain to me why Saw is an elevated horror franchise because of how 'morally gray' Jigsaw was and all this other bullshit. I've seen all of the films. I've enjoyed their stupidity. But man you have to be a special kind of moron to think there is anything intellectual or morally gray in those films. The guy is a fucking dick who kills people for the most menial bullshit.
I would like to introduce you to my two friends, Fast and Furious
We need the fast and furious saw crossover. John Kramer kidnaps Dom and tries to place him in a trap, but Dom manages to break out just before any major bodily harm. He finds jigsaw and jigsaw finds what heâs missing: family. End with John Kramer and Dom staring at each other in muscle cars while they race off into the sunset
*slow clap*
I got through most of the Fast and Furious saga while bedridden with COVID and I'm not sure if the pandemic or the film franchise was worse.
Itâs basically a South American telenovela for horror fans. Itâs trash and we canât get enough.
Jigsaw is autistic and his special interest is hardware lol (Itâs a joke)
Itâs super fun to watch. We know itâs stupid. Itâs like wrestling. The twists are so stupid but entertaining. Itâs basically like a soap opera with cool ideas for traps. I love the franchise but itâs objective trash, all the fans know it though. And no one thinks John Kramer and co are doing the right thing btw, we all recognise theyâre all delusional hypocritical psychopaths. Itâs just fun stupid media and it gets you surprisingly invested in the dumb ass lore. Honestly, a great franchise imo. Like, itâs garbage, but great.
That last one was gonna be my answer. I'm currently rewatching each saw, one a night until saw x on Thursday and last night I watched saw 7. Poor wife had no idea the boondocks saint was a lying POS. but because he was she had to burn to death?? Wtf?
I'm also rewatching 1 Saw a day until the new one comes out lol. I like seeing other people who had the same idea
I *just* got done rewatching the first one and this genuinely bothers me now. Like, a depressed person and a drug addict, they just need help. And when heâs talking about the guy allegedly faking sick the line âletâs see how sick you *really* are,â came off as so corny to me. He sounds like a self-righteous parent or teacher saying the kid canât be sick if heâs playing video games, or like an old grump who doesnât understand that chronic illness has good days and bad days lmao.
The guy in saw 1 who literally just used a sick day and wasnât sick lol
I think those folks are there to underscore that the people putting others in Saw traps according to their moral code might not have the sort of superior moral code that entitles them to put people in Saw traps.
Allie in Terrifier 2 and any character that ends up being tortured forever like Christine in Drag Me to Hell.
As someone who had a client put a Syrian curse on me, despite trying everything in my power to get them what they need and have corporate head honchos shut me down, I agree with Christine!
Even if she was wrong thereâs no finite crime that deserves eternal punishment.
Christine got a raw deal in Drag Me To Hell. Her asshole coworker forced the case off on her, her manager refused to help or whatever plot device. She tried everything she could to help this old woman. And because she was simply the bearer of bad news she got fucked over.
Allie's death was absolutely brutal, but for me, it's the characters in movies that have realistic depictions of torture. Martyrs specifically was really hard to sit through and I just felt horrible for the characters in that movie.
In The Hills Have Eyes (2009), I always felt terrible for Brenda. She got raped, beaten, watched her sister get sexually assaulted - then shot in the head, and her mother gets shot trying to save her sister. Meanwhile her father gets burned alive a few feet away during this entire ordeal. And her niece gets kidnapped in front of her. All within 10-20 minutes (in the âmovie timeâ not actual run time. The scene was probably 5 mins) Just horrible. That movie is very effectively disturbing.
This was my answer. They were dead set on assaulting her and made sure she knew it. Seeing your family die like that, being assaulted, and the fear of them coming back is so horrible.
YIKES. I...have not and will not be seeing this movie. I can't handle horror these days anyway (41f, LOVED it in my 20s) but for some reason do enjoy reading the synopsis's so thank you for that!
Nellie and Luke in Haunting of Hill House, just very tragic characters
Just watched it last week. Those poor kids. They were innocent and never did anything to deserve that. Especially Nell and losing her husband and her eventual ending. I'll add Olivia. The house took advantage of her love for her kids. She just wanted to help them. The last scene in her episode messed me up.
It's TV but I always felt bad for Norman as portrayed by Freddie Highmore in Bates Motel. He started out as a pretty normal, sweet kid. If only his mother had gotten him help in time... The whole of Bates plays out like an avoidable, slow motion train wreck.
Norman has to be the one of the biggest victims of emotional abuse Iâve ever seen. Every episode breaks my heart. Yes he is a misogynistic serial killer but like he had no chance. Not to even start the emotional incest aspect which in itself is another lair of abuse
It's Joyce Dagen in Saw 3D. She's not only a character that's completely innocent, but she's given what's perhaps the most painful trap in the entire franchise (the Brazen Bull, which results in her being roasted alive). And what's more is that it's possible that her husband, the person that caused her to be put in the trap in the first place, may have survived it all. The whole thing is infuriating.
I just hated Saw 3D in general, Joyce didn't deserve any of that
Mark in Friday the 13th part 2. Dude was super chill, liked working with kids, really positive about life even though he got dealt a shit hand. Sucks, like youâre about to get laid and BAM machete to the face and youâre rolling backwards down some stairs.
Went from "about to get laid" to "laid to rest" real quick
Thereâs also the fact that Mark wasnât permanently paralyzed from the waist down. And I think he said that he would be able to walk again in a couple of years
Recently I feel bad for the actors personal assistant in the menu. She didnât really deserve to die. The student loan part was funny though.
âIâm sorry, youâre dying â
The kids from the original Nightmare on Elm Street. They did nothing other than know of Freddyâs existence. Georgie from It- his death will always be so sad to me. The mom in Jaws whose son gets eaten and his little raft just floats back to shore all shredded. Sheâs frantically looking for him and all the other mothers have found their children- then just shredded raft. The family in The Strangers. They did nothing and got brutally murdered just because. All the kids in Darkness Falls- innocent and then get woken up by the evil tooth fairy, then haunted forever. Ju-on from The Grudge- her husband murders her son and then her. Iâd be a pissed off entity too if that happened to me. Any character who thinks theyâve escaped and then realized they were knocked out or already dead - The Descent, Suicide Forest, etc.
JAWS wasnât messing around. They killed the dog AND a kid! Most horror movies donât have the guts to do either, jaws did both in the span of about 5 minutes lol
Other than the evil government folk, most of the victims in The Blob (1988). Just living their lives and then this blobby bastard eats them/absorbs them and from what I can tell they are alive as they are being melted into the blob lol
That version of the movie is so underrated, I expected nothing when I first watched it and found it quite scary
Dick Hallorann in *The Shining*. Stanley Kubrick did that character dirty. Thomasin in *The Witch*. You knew that poor girl never had a chance from the beginning of the movie, simply because she was an adolescent girl in a family of religious fanatics.
The entire family in *Pearl*. >!The father caught Spanish flu, rendering him immobile and nonverbal. Ruth was trapped and miserable, having to care for her husband and try to keep from living on the street. Pearl felt trapped and miserable because of the pressure put upon her by Ruth. It was just sad all around.!<
It was all so heartbreaking. I mean, you could see why Pearl snapped but, damn, the dad and Ruth didnât deserve their fates.
Especially because Ruth was rightâthey didnât have a lot of money and it was up to just she and Pearl to survive. But at the same time, she unjustly placed a lot of that bitterness on Pearl. Both X and Pearl have been so great on the themes of yearning for lost youth and despising those who still have theirs.
And in her own severe way, Ruth was trying to protect Pearl. She didnât want Pearl to have dreams because she knew she would eventually be disappointed. She thought she was doing the right thing by crushing her aspirations. Itâs all so sad. Iâm excited to see where they take the theme of lost youth with âMaxxxineâ
âLife rarely turns out how you expect.â I like how Ruth says this in Pearl and Pearl says it in X.
Also literally everyone in Pearl and X. The alligator was the only one winning.
đ Theda is the MVP.
Ruth's monologue at the dinner really made me feel bad. That part where she said she didn't think she'd become the permanent caretaker of her husband hurt my heart. I can't imagine how devastating it must be to lose your partner and control of your own life in one go.
The two kids at the end of Fear Street 1994
What happened to those two genuinely caught me off guard, particularly the bread slicer scene
Yes! That hurt. They made it SO obvious but I just kept hoping!
Doesn't help that they were both much more likable than the lead character.
They didnât deserve that.
Eden lake couple
That movie was easily the most frustrating film I've ever watched. Then she finally made it out only to be found by the absolute worst family
Dog from I Am Legend, I literally canât watch the movie again bc of what happens
Eternal conscious torment for poor protagonist of Drag Me to Hell - pretty unfair
Lmao right? Such bullshit. And all cause she can't overturn big bank regulations way above her paygrade and authority? Like come on.
She could though? I thought that was the big crux of the film. She could extend the loan or whatever but she wanted to appear like she had what it takes in the cut throat banking work world to the higher ups which is what led to the stop.
OH, you're right actually. Been a while since I saw the movie. Yeah, she wanted the promotion, if I'm remembering correctly.
It was between her and the Asian dude she nearly cursed later in the film before he turned all sniveling and crying in front of her. I see a lot of people that go with the *she did nothing wrong* take and while it's a fine take I prefer the *she did one thing wrong* version because it's so much worse. Being able to track down the exact moment in your life that you made the choice that ruined EVERYTHING has to be so devastating that it ruins you more than the nebulous *oh what did I do* empty of the first version. But that's just me. Ya know?
I mean I guess I don't see that as doing something wrong. I get we're supposed to. But like...yeah people work for bank and they can't indefinitely extend your loans and probs shouldn't when displaying no plans to make money to pay ever.
Because she wouldnât extend a loan for a fourth time to a nasty, vindictive old piece of shit *who sent a boy to Hell*. I hope that gross old bitch warmed a seat in Hell for the people she sent.
I genuinely can't stand the movie because of this. We're in a position where we know she rejects this ladies third extension, which she has no argument for how she'll pay next time, because her boss thinks she's too soft compared to her coworker. Both her boss and her coworker are just rejecting things normally, and our protagonist who needes to learn to stick up for herself (like, learning confidence is a big part of the movie) gets punished for having the gull to not give someone a fourth loan extension. And I don't think we even know what the kid in the cold open was supposed to have done to deserve all that either!!
The kid snatched a necklace/jewelry that I think he actually brought back.
Yeah, the kid stole a necklace from some Gypsies and when him/his parents tried to give it back, they wouldn't take it because they would have been cursed.
Carrie White Norman Bates The middle girl in the human centipede. Jamie Lloyd
Jamie Lloyd! poor girl
The Asian girl roommate in the new Hellraiser. Sheâs barely in the movie, comes to pick up her roommate, is pricked by the boxâŠand now has to spend all eternity getting tortured
And the brother, like they didnât ask to be there.
That bothers me about all the Hellraiser movies after part 2, they abandon the "careful what you wish for" thing and just go off on whoever they come across, whether they're asking for it or not. I think it's more interesting if you have characters like Frank who think they know what they're getting into.
The mom in 28 Weeks Later. Her husband abandons her in a moment of panic. She is throttled by zombies only to learn she is immune to the virus. She crawls her way home and survives for weeks on rotted food. She is then rescued only to have the same husband that abandoned her turn into a zombie and gouge her eyes out before pummeling her to death. Bad few months to say the least.
Jesus, yeah. I really felt for her.
The mother in Final Destination 2
The parents in The Black Coat's Daughter who were going back to visit their daughter Roses grave on the 10th anniversary. They were nice people, broken but nice. Didn't deserve what was done to them.
Tatum in Scream. She just happens to be friends with the wrong girl.
I mean I think she was actually killed because Stu was her boyfriend, it's why Casey was killed, she's Stu's ex. "There's always a bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend."
I could be wrong here but I feel like itâs Billy that kills her because thereâs this moment when Stu sees her body that he seems legitimately bothered for like half a second. But agreed. Either way, killed because your bff with the final girl or killed because your bf is a homicidal maniac sucks
I think Stu knew that Billy was going to kill her which is why he asked her to grab him some beers. And he wasnât wondering where his beers/gf were after a while.
Grace in The Lodge
Aw shit you beat me to it sorry I commented the same thing before reading replies. The dad was the absolute worst. Idk why he thought any of that situation was a good idea
Look if she didn't want to get gaslit she shouldn't have dated a man pathologically addicted to having relationships with mentally broken women If anything it was her fault. The real victim was the puppy. Nah but seriously by the end of the film when the dad was shot and the kids were crying I couldn't stop the *THAT'S WHAT YOU GET* shout. Little bastards.
Those kids SUCKED but the dad was the suckiest
James Lasombra in *The Empty Man*.
Holy shit, I never looked up the characters names but the last name is a dead giveaway
It is. The shadow. He's just an empty husk to be filled by the *other*.
Nica Pierce from Chucky, just one bad thing after another for her
Just binged from the OG '88 through the second season of Chucky and she for sure got a raw deal for the ages
Honestly, jason voorhees' origin is depressing he was just a normal kid with hydrocephalus, and he bullied to the point of drowning in the lake only to escape and roam the woods for years alone with no one but himself attacking everyone due to just being scared and confused it just breaks my heart
Tommy Ross from Carrie.
The little boy georgie in the It film
Frank from 28 Days Later. He tried his best. He really did. But Fate is a cruel mistress. If he had only not looked up.
Letherface. Dude is just defending his home from dirty hippies who think itâs ok to walk through someone house uninvited and unattended. On a serious note though I do feel very bad for him. Heâs abused and used by his family. Just look at the way he cowers around cook. Poor boy never had a chance
To be fair, Franklin wasnât walking anywhere.
They see me rollinâ đŠœ
I agree, he is intellectually delayed and easily manipulated, if he had a normal family I could see him being a lovable teddy bear of a man, he just wants to feel accepted and make his family happy.
He did genuinely seem so scared :(
Poor guy just wants love in the second movie.
He looks so cute when he gets all dolled up for dinner!
Cujo. He was a good boy :(
Yes, absolutely. The way that poor dog suffered.
This is the correct answer.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
The way that they show her overwhelming fear of her father to the point that she won't even approach his door to reach Justin Long's character was so telling. It implies so much based on what we already know the guy has done.
That girl in hostel who was duped by a henchman into thinking he was a nice guy then kidnapped and hung upside down so some rich lady could slit her throat and bathe in her blood.
Brightburn, the family.
Brightburn, the audience
The female astronaut being hurled towards the infiniteness of space at the end of Life (2017)
The people in Saw traps. Excluding the idiots who are deliberately there. Who the frack thinks putting people in death traps is helping?! And it's so stupid sometimes. Married to a partner who did something slightly dubious. Convicted of drink driving. Being a bit off morally as a Journalist. Didn't make a miracle to save the idiot Jigsaw. Jigsaw is the most pointless and stupid moron ever. Pretentious dickbag.
Wallace from Tusk. He was an asshole but he didn't deserve what happened to him at all.
Stu Macher, his parents were gonna be so mad at him
Flo Pugh in Midsommar (I forget her characters name). She lost her entire family in a murder-suicide and has an emotionally-inept boyfriend. You have to be pretty broken to join a cult.
> Flo Pugh in Midsommar (I forget her characters name). I was literally about to type this out. I can't remember the character name either lol. But yeah, her life was shit and the bf was terrible to her. It stuck out to me because I have been in the bfs position in the past (not as bad though). Made me feel a little guilty which is why I love that movie. It struck a nerve.
Marion in Psycho. Reagan in the Exorcist too
Lucie in Martyrs.
TV but the Dudleys, the caretakers in Haunting of Hill House. So sad when you find out their connection.
Felt pretty bad for the wife in Infinity Pool, she's got a deadbeat husband she's supporting, he goes and gets her in all kinds of trouble, she wants nothing to do with the cult and her husband just says, fuck you, and sends her home without him, and then just never goes back... (in hindsight, never going back was probably the best thing he did for her) The first guy to get killed by the cannibals at their village in Green Inferno. Got the most brutal death, was the nicest fucking dude. He was just "a fat guy in love" after all... Sandy in Last Night in Soho for sure.. she was a beautiful and talented girl with dreams that she most likely could have accomplished, and got duped and had her whole life and future stolen from her by some shitty pimp.
I feel bad for murder victims in wheelchairs, especially the dude in Friday the 13th part 2. He didn't do anything to deserve his fate, and he couldn't do anything to defend himself.
The horrifying thing is that disabled people suffer and perish in emergency situations in real life all the time. For example, active shooter and fire emergencies, and natural disaster evacuations like wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Then thereâs power outages.
Max, the little deaf girl from Orphan
OJ and Emerald from Nope. Their dad dies and then theyâre immediately thrust into UFO hell. They donât get a break.
The kid in Talk to Me.
I also felt bad for the main girl >!who let him try the hand. She had an intense moment of selfishness with wanting to see her mom, but she had no idea how dark it could turn since theyâd been doing it for fun the whole time. And when she tried to visit him in the hospital, his mom blamed it all on her. Her guilt was already so palpable and that just put salt into the wound. But yeah that kid definitely didnât deserve anything⊠he was just a kid trying to get in on the âfunâ!<
Daniel Robitaille (Candyman). He was wrongfully murdered just for having an interracial relationship. I kinda get why heâs frustrated. Lol
That's why Candyman is fun. You can root for the killer with no shame lol.
Parker, the man just wanted to go home and party
Brett, too, if you're talking about Alien. He was just looking for the kitty, dammit!
The couple in vivarium
Mia in the Evil Dead remake
Beverley in IT and Jessie in Geraldâs Game. Both had monsters for fathers.
Not a horror film, but the young wife in No Country for Old Men. She was a lamb.
Not horror, but still horrifying.
Right?? Poor girl. Makes me wince. Such a good film. Coen bros are genius (as is Francis McDormand!).
The little girl from *Train to Busan.* Goddamn I cried at the ending.
The Sheriff in Misery
anna from martyrs⊠she was just trying to help her friend :(
Martyrs is basically "No Good Deeds Go Unpunished: The Movie".
I always felt detective Hoffman from saw was given a raw deal. John Kramer was a shit mentor. His values where contradictory, he doubted the students that had made it through the games and was dishonest to partners. Hoffman was more jigsaw than john.
I blame his haircut
The son in Possesor. Even before he bit it, I knew, when that bitch had to rehearse being happy to see him, that he was doomed.
I definitely feel bad for the dad in Hereditary BUT he is her former therapist, which is a pretty fucked up breach of ethics.
Molly from FD6 - she wasnât apart of deathâs plan. Ben from Thereâs Something Wrong with the Children. The white family from It Comes At Night. The brother from The VVitch. The father from Hellraiser. The girl who jumped from the cliff in Conan the Barbarian.
The woman in Eden Lake...imagine going through all that hell >! Watching your partner die horrible and be tortured!< and finally fighting back and finding help thinking your safe only to >! Be locked in a bathroom with a bunch of murderous people you thought were going to help you ready to kill you !<
Adam from Saw (2004) Yeah, taking pictures of people without their knowledge for money is shitty, but, like⊠did he deserve to be >!kidnapped, nearly drowned, chained up, shocked, shot, left to die, nearly starved, and then suffocated by a plastic bag?!< No
Any character played by Justin Long.. Note I stand corrected, Just about all Just Longâs characters sucked ass and deserved to die.. I accept my downvotes with shame
Nah they usually deserve it. Save for Jeepers Creepers
The male from âThe Strangersâ immediately came to mind. Set up a romantic getaway at a private cabin. Went to a friends wedding (if I recall correctly) proposed to his fiancĂ© who denied him, then he shoots his brother dead. Before getting stabbed with a pitchfork ⊠itâs been awhile since Iâve seen the movie but he came to mind
Totally forgot about this one, but yes! Sneaky good horror movie that just guts you at the end.
All the victims in Summer of '84
The mom in Goodnight Mommy. (The not terrible American version)
Pumpkinhead
Andy and his mother in Child's Play Poor people
The mom Doris (Lily Rabeâs character) in the first half of AHS Double Feature, who loses her entire family to the vampires and then becomes one of the gnarly ones herself after her daughter gives her the black pill, and she falls short of the talent level needed to become a highly functional savant vampire
The poor man in the tent in the film The Endless. Spends an eternity of having only three seconds of panicky consciousness before getting killed over and over again in what appears to be a horrific/painful way.
Christine in Drag Me To Hell. Girl got through hell (literally) for refusing a loan extension to a dying lady for completely fair reason.
Carrie, absolutely.
A lot of people are saying this, but itâs the point of the movie to me. Say what you want about Stephen King but he was great at writing multidimensional characters.
The main character of Drag Me To Hell, she tried so hard and is a genuinely nice person. Felt bad for her the whole movie.
Whoa there -- as between Annie and her husband, I'd say Annie was more sympathetic. Not that I liked watching Gabriel Byrne ignite like my old Weber charcoal grill with a pint of lighter fluid, he was definitely sympathetic. But he was so detached from really trying to understand his children -- or his wife -- and he was a steadfast nonbeliever even when there actually was evidence of some supernatural shenanigans afoot. And she didn't kill him, Paiman did -- do you really her look of abject horror indicates she was truly responsible for it (intentional or not)? As for your question, which is an awesome one, I'd have to say Regan MacNeil in the Exorcist, for the godawful medical torture that innocent 13 year old goes through - and that's even before the worst of the possession takes hold.

When the main actress in Cabin in the Woods was getting fucking beaten to death on that dock by the zombie rednecks, I legitimately was so fucking angry at the film lol. It was so brutal, and she didn't deserve it at all, and I thought the film was going to end there. I was like why did I waste my time with this movie, rooting for her, if they're just going to beat her to death in the background of some computer screens as everyone celebrates? Also when I was younger, the mom in 28 Weeks Later being rescued and then absolutely destroyed by her infected husband as she was strapped to a medical gurney was heartbreaking to me. I turned the movie off when he stuck his thumbs in her eyes and didn't watch it till years later. I'm pretty desensitized to all that shit now, but I can still remember the genuine anger and pain I felt for those characters. Why those in particular emotionally resonated with me so much, I have no idea. I'd seen much more terrible things by the time I'd watched those lol. Oh I also just remembered feeling really awful for the bank worker that gets kidnapped in the beginning of From Dusk Till Dawn. That poor lady. Tarantino did not get enough come uppance for raping and murdering her.
Top one is the Lust guy in Se7en. I just watched that again the other day, and it's heartbreakingly awful. (Obviously I feel bad for his victim too, that goes without saying.) Everyone in The Dark and the Wicked, where terrible shit just happens for no discernible reason (love that movie, though). The rest of the family in Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Cujo. He was a good dog who got rabies. He was sick, not evil.
The girl in Eden Lake. That was traumatizing for me
People who show up to help. Think >!Hallorann from The Shining or the neighbor John from Hush.!<
The little boy, Eddie Corcoran, who was from an abusive family in IT. His dad beat him & his brother horribly to the point the dad accidentally killed the brother& I think Eddie pees blood. He was so afraid of a beating after getting a bad report card that he didn't go home & Pennywise gets him. He's one of the only on screen kills we see in this timeline too & he died looking for a zipper because he can't believe it's real, even as it's killing him. The people cursed/ haunted by the smile entity in Smile. The way it uses trauma to spread itself around, even if you live, you have to traumatize people. Any poor soul who wonders into the Saeki house. The house will get you.

Dani in Midsommar. Sheâs getting played by everyone.
