What, no Ready Or Not? Samara Weaving's character absolutely deserves a place on this list. Not only does she hold her own against a murderous family who has demonic backing, but she OWNS every single one of them. Well, except maybe one or two lol
good point
I know, right, even mr. Labaile (dont know how to write) congratulate her
Ehh. She stumbled her way through almost the entire movie and survived mostly due to luck and the family’s sheer comical incompetence. I kept waiting for her to tap into her inner badass and truly turn the tables like in “You’re Next” but it felt that moment never really happened.
Should of been in here instead of Tucker and Dale vs Evil because they had it make a big stretch for that one
Not really. The family caught her in the end but she managed to survive until sunrise, and the rest of the family only died because the old lady got a little kill happy and went against the rules, making the demon decide that all were forfeit (except for Samara, of course)
The events of "Prey" are probably why the Predators keep coming back. They aren't deterred by danger. Quite the opposite. They WANT to fight something that can kill them. Humans are extra fun ones because most of us are useless against them, but the ones that can hold their own are a true prize. Their skulls become a symbol of pride for the successful hunter.
Good call. They want a challenge. That's why they bred the Xenomorphs!
Agreed
well since they learn from each encounter and build a new advancement to counteract it which is why they get harder to kill. and why their weapons are biometric now LOL
And maybe one day we'll get that movie where the Predator wins.
@@grapeshot did the movie make you angry?
I think Kate Siegels character Maddie in Hush was a pretty deadly woman. Especially since she was deaf and mute but, she still won and lived
I just watched this the other day and I agree. She was badass
That is a great movie.
Agreed. I love that movie.
I think you forgot to mention the horrendous and vile thing the old blind man had done to the girl in the basement for in “Don’t Breathe”, nor as it mentioned that the female in the group of would be thieves would wind up taking her place. Since he intended to impregnate one either girl so she would give birth to his new daughter, I’d say that makes him less of a victim and more of a villain.
Yeah he was definitely not a victim. Just call the cops you fucking psycho
he's a victim to the intruders and the villian to the girl/s. set the record straight
@@redefinedliving5974 admittedly everyone in the house was a victim, even the old man, but what he was doing was far worse than robbery.
I was worried that no one else knew that.
@@krawlspacekustoms Yea
The Hunt. The vengeful elites not only take one wrong person but one that also knows how to fight.
Don’t know if that’s considered horror, but if it is, absolutely correct.
I was thinking the same thing! Wasn't sure if it classifies as horror but the 'victim' certainly fits the bill for this list
She was in a final fight with some random elite bitch though. It doesn't say much about her that she was more dangerous than a Karen.
@@Aldragon there were some gruesome deaths but those can be defined as action deaths. I personally regarded it as a horror comedy. Especially since the protagonist was there only because she was misidentified.
I would argue with the hunt only because the Athena the final hunter and crystal the victim are pretty evenly matched. While yes the other hunters are no match for crystal. Those other hunters aren’t the main people behind the hunt. Athena is.
I always love this particular genre, when the "victim" (usually women) managed to outsmart and defeat the bad guy(s), or at least got their revenge later on. I wrote this comment before watching the list, but my personal favorites on the top of my head are: You're Next, The Hunt, I Spit On Your Grave, Till Death, Revenge, Ready or Not, Hush. But of course there's also men "victim", like Don't Breathe...
Edit: Boy, I completely forgot about Carrie and Hostel. And I guess it's time for me to finally rewatch The Purge and No One Lives. Glad that you guys put You're Next at #1, because it's my favorite too!
OMG yes! I love the woman is pissed and getting revenge movies.i spit on your grave is fantastic
It's called the Final Girl.
No, "Final Girl" does not imply they go on a massive revenge spree. It's just the lead victim character.
The fact that “You’re Next” ranked number one is deeply satisfying to me. It is my favorite horror movie.
You could argue that any final girl that survives a horror movie against a horror villain could be on this list, but I think the list would be a hell of a lot longer than this if that were the case
Just surviving isn't the same as fighting back, though. This list is for the kickass victims that obliterate their predators/captors.
Or they should narrowed down to those survivors who fucked their killers up before they killed them.
We still stan Carrie and she did nothing wrong
Fr she's such an icon
Carrie became the villain, she abused her powers and totally lost her mid. Great villain.
🎉
Wtf? She's a school shooter with vag. Yeah bullying is bad, but kids literally aren't at the cognitive state to process how the things they do can affect other people. And do I feel bad for Carrie? Yeah, but she did SOOOO much wrong.
Icon
All right I know I can't be the only one that feels this way about the film Carrie but I feel like the people in that school got everything they deserve maybe except for the people that were trying to help carry and be there for her but rather than that I feel like most of the kids in that situation they got exactly what was coming to them
You aren't the only one
Carrie made the wrong choice. The teacher who supported her got it the worst. She's a sympathetic villain/killer.
Carrie was a victim who turned to a villain, I think
Ah yes, most of the KIDS, minors, children with underdeveloped brains, etc etc in that situation got EXACTLY what was coming to them (horrible, violent death) for the horrific crime of being children with underdeveloped brains
@@victoriapulcifer6218 Teens are not really the same as children. Also "underdeveloped brain" is not an excuse for wretched and persistent bullying of a pretty much defenseless girl neck in problems as it is. Also FYI, the part of the brain which is underdeveloped has to do with long term planning, risk assessment and executive functions, not moral and ethics. We know what's good and what's evil ever since around 6th year of life.
Im surprised that Willy’s Wonderland is not here! The Janitor (that’s his given name lol) was absolutely brutal against his attackers, cleaning the floor with them and not leaving one last standing.
I watched "Trilogy of Terror" recently and Julie from the first segment 100% belongs on this list:
"You've drugged me!"
"No, dear. I've killed you."
Agreed
JUST watched this a few days ago
Which year was i made
@@tloummotsinoni6806 I don't know. how old are you?
CHAPTERS:
00:23 The Purge
01:25 Tucker & Dale vs Evil
02:34 Hostel
03:36 Carrie
04:53 I Spit On Your Grave (I highly recommend this one!)
06:11 I Saw The Devil
07:14 Don't Breathe
08:24 Prey
09:17 No One Lives
10:11 You're Next
Thanks David.
But Last house on the left wasn't on this list.
Thanks
Willy wonderland would be a great choice it's about a silent protagonists who destroyed all the remaining animatronics with only himself but with a girl
I still wished that Paxton had survived in The Hostel II. Or that they never mentioned his character again. At least I would still think he was able to escape. It was ridiculous how much the "hunting club" knew how to locate the victims that escaped and collect their heads. As much as I love how Beth was able to survive and buy her way out, Paxton had no such luxury of relying on money and was the OG badass that escaped and killed the guy who murdered his friend.
Matilda Lutz got some bloody revenge in Revenge, even the main bad guy is scared shitless of her near the end.
I did think of Revenge too when I spit on your grave appeared. But I guess revenge is nothing close to horror, way more of a thriller
Honestly, I would say Beth in Hostel Part 2 was far more dangerous than Paxton.
I agree. That would have been my choice as well.
The "dog treat" scene was BRUTAL!!
I was thinking the same thing. Beth was awesome! "Let him bleed out!" That's hardcore.
Beth > Paxton 100 %
I was rooting for the bubble gum gang.
The ending of "I saw the devil" is harrowing : revenge prings no catharsis, unlike lesser movies, only more suffering and scars…
The ankle tendon shot still makes me quiver in fear to this day
any time i see an ankle slice i cringe. no matter the movie . it's odd. That is seriously the only thing that upsets me . Strange.
We went to the cinema to see Dale & Tucker vs Evil, we didn't watch trailers, he didn't read reviews, didn't even know the actors. We saw all the other movies that were interesting to us already, so we figure "why not ?". We laughed so hard, this movie is a gem, it's played out and written in a way that isn't annoying or frustrating (like some movies/shows do just to extended the watch time) it's just a good time watching everything go from bad to worse in the best way. If you haven't seen it definitely give it a watch, you won't regret it.
That is the reason the predators keep returning
I am so glad "I Saw The Devil" was on this list! Its a very good movie! The way the fiancee gets his revenge on the killer...i loved it so much
Hostel 2 should be mentioned. Like what a boss move that she cut a certain male body part but also has the money to join and get rid of the person that set her up
HOSTEL 2
ending surprised me
the reason that
LAUREN GERMAN
who played
BETH
looked weird at the end was
because she got severe
food poisoning from
eating local food
and had an intestinal infection
she chose to keep filming
so they wouldn't mess up
the filming schedule
How is being rich boss? People hype up this movie for no reason
Love the ending of this movie. Best in the series.
Absolutely applaud the choice for number one. Love that movie!
And appreciate the inclusion of number two as most people are unfamiliar with this film. Its only misstep was the gratuitously gratuitous shower scene near the end… Otherwise, perfection!
Tucked and Dale. The greatest horror ever.
I was hoping you'd include Erin in this. I love her character soooo much, she is THE final girl.
Great idea for an ensemble piece...John Rambo, Samara Weaving from Hide and Seek and Erin from You're Next.
Two great aussie actress
I Saw the Devil is such a phenomenal, brutal and bleak movie. An easy 9/10
I think this list missed the main character for the Hunt, but maybe it was not considered a horror movie. Anyway, she was more dangerous than any in this list (maybe equally to number 1, I still think the number one is very deserving of that placement)
Good one!
100% and she was smart too, the cigarette price scene?! Iconic.
Yeah I think they left it off because it's not really a horror, but it definitely belongs on at least a similar list.
The Last House on the Left would fit this list perfectly. At least the remake, never seen the original.
"You're Next" as my #1 pick too. Even though I'm biased cause I LOVE Erin's badassness in the movie...so unsuspected and such glorious revenge
Charlie McGee - Firestarter, The parents - Last House on the Left, Dutch - Predator....there's quite a list.
I would argue that the parents in Last House on the Left are villains, seeing as they are the parents of the villains who go after the original victims in the end.
oh, spoiler alert.
@@superhotnutjob What are you talking about? That isn't what happened at all.
@@Bluesit32 Shit. I'm thinking Eden Lake, aren't I? Last house on the left, it's the parents of the assaulted girl who find the culprits, isn't it?
@@Bluesit32 I just realized you corrected me twice on this video, hahaha. Good on you for your polite corrections, and thanks for the information. I need to get my horror movies straight, bahahahahaha
All of these were good choices but… how… HOW… how did you miss Willie’s Wonderland? Nic Cage’s ‘The Janitor’ is the personification of this trope.
Indeed
Very true
And that one deleted scene on Hostel he kidnaps the instigator of that sick game young daughter.
If you do another list like this, it needs to include: Ready or Not, and American Mary.
Last House on the Left.....
One of my faves is ‘Deathproof’.
I’ll be very upset if “Even Lambs have teeth” isn’t here
On the same "lamb" idea, The Other Lamb is a pretty good one with an unexpected dangerous person(s)
If it wasn't for her crazy mom Carrie wouldn't have gotten bullied.
Luke Evans played Vlad the Impaler in "Dracula Untold." I wonder if "No One Lives" made him wince. 🤔😂
Was going to point that out
I'm glad no one's bitching about Prey
Why. Pocahontas stupidly got her tribe killed.
@@jamespope7669 nah, ur mom
"The strangers 2" wouldn't be out of place on this list, would it?
Very good call.
After seeing Don't Breath on the list, I thought "how could they possibly find someone more dangerous than him!" ... Enter "You're Next." What I fool I am.
How could i forget? My favorite horror movie joke is in that movie; when the final girl throws the pot of water from the stove on the little brother, and he says "that's not even warm anymore, you bitch!"
No One Lives was AWSOME!. Haven't seen Prey, but I will today. Thanx! GREAT LIST!
Honorable mention to the robber from The Collector.
excellent list😱
You missed Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz in "A Classic Horror Story" and "Revenge"
Dale and Tucker vs. Evil was great! It is good to see it get some recognition
4:23
Carrie knows that Sue put him up to it.
It was Sue's way of apologizing.
Yeah that horrendous movie Creepshow 3 that one story where she ties up the guy planning on robbing and killing him and he turns out to be the monster, literally.
Absolute shame that Hard Candy isn't on this list. Some of Elliot Page's best, early work.
Ellen Page 🤡
I would argue Page's character was never the victim. She was in control the entire time. I'm still kinda upset she didn't keep her word. His wife didn't do anything wrong.
Seriously. Great movie.
such an underrated movie
I see where you’re coming from, but Hard Candy isn’t considered a horror movie and, in my opinion, she was never the victim. She just _pretended_ to be.
Glad Erin was first, she was my first thought! I would add Ready or Not as she survives the night and takes out that whole family with no training and they have every advantage.
You're Next comes to mind.
So you comment before watching the video to the end, hey? Me too : )
I just came here to see if (Your next) would be number 1. Ha ha Erin is awesome. I love her character and all her traps. But I do feel like ready or not could have gone up there too. But I figured as long as Erin is number one we are good.
She’s so tiny in real life
I love this kind of movie and No One Lives is one of my faves.
Ready or Not and Hush are two stand outs that I was shocked to see weren't on this list. The le Domas family may not have chosen Grace specifically, since it was the demon that chose her for sacrifice, but they all went about it way too nonchalantly and got slaughtered for it. And then the man in Hush thinks Maddie being deaf will make her easy prey but she's anything but.
I think bc when compared to the others on this list, Grace didn't kick her "attackers" asses. She mainly evaded and survived till the end. Heck, she was even caught, put in the sacraficial table and stabbed, she avoided death by the skin of the teeth when she used her shoulder to take the blade instead of her neck.
(Bc I rmb being excited to see her use that shotgun of hers, as shown in the poster, such an iconic part of her image, only to learn the shotgun doesn't even work in the movie 😭)
Finally, a good list from you people.
The Hunt was my favorite twist. Ready or not is so fun.
What about “ready or not”
My favorite torture weapon, the Gil-a-teen.
Couldn't deal with her pronunciation of "adversary" either.
That bear putting the beats on predator 😂
Yes no one lives is my favorite ultimate movie so thanks for putting it on here
The father from the Purge was such a cool character, I was genuinely a bit upset when he died
Your next was crazy I enjoyed it .
Erin was awesome
Good job on number one, one of my favs!
Amber Midthunder 🥰
Julia and the 2010 remake of I Spit On Your Grave are both much better iterations than the original and don't deteriorate into weird tonal shifts. American Mary as well is an incredible third option
Hostel 2 is IMNSHO, the better of the series. What she does does in that movie makes her a 100% BADASS.
The original I Spit On Your Grave( seen all but one of them) is one of the few movies I've ever seen that made me feel unclean after.
No One Lives is another of my faves. Great story with a great ending.
If I may, some of these victims or villains, I say can be understood for their actions. Everyone was either out to bully/kill them for what they had or just for the fun of it.
Erin was my pick as soon as I saw this video title. She was a total boss.
When the victim is the bumping in the night.
Some that should have been on this list
1) Willy's Wonderland
2) Mandy
3) The Hunt
4) Sweeny Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
5) The Velocipastor (I guess)
6) Alien Resurrection
I would say No One Lives and You're Next are tied. They would make quite the formidable power couple.
These are some great movies
Hostel was gooood! Poor Kana!
The loltagonist of Prey was ridiculous. The Predator lifted a grizzly bear over its head and she won against it in physical combat.
You're Next is great! If you haven't watched it, please do. The right way to portray a strong independant female lead.
If this wasn't a horror movie list than I would be questioning so hard why home alone wasn't here lol
Love Tucker & Dale…. Awesome, hilarious and superb!!
I love tucker and dale vs evil so much. It’s absolutely ridiculous one of my favorite comedy horrors 💗
As it got closer to the end I was starting to feel disappointed that one of my favorite horror movies hadn't shown up, and then voila, it turns out it was just ranked number one haha. You're Next is an incredible movie.
Thank you whatculture now I'ma go watch Hostel again
I would include Pet. That's the first film that came to mind.
Samara Weaving in "Ready Or Not" and Kevin Bacon in "Death Sentence".
Erin from "you're next" needs to be on this list.
Edit: I thought so!.... I wrote my comment before watching the video.
I’d add the last house on the left. Even though technically the victim is the young girl not her parents they get sweet revenge on the villains.
Where is "The Hunt", i think its one of the best of these types of movies
It took a lot of gymnastics to contort Tucker & Dale into this list.
i feel like the movie bad samaritan doesnt get talked about enough, its a lot like dont breathe but it stars david tennant as the antagonist
You guys missed out on putting “ready or not” and “Death Sentence “ good list tho
You missed quite a few that could be added in a Part 2 list, and it could include:
Logan Marshall Green's characters in either UPGRADE or THE INVITATION
Steven Hubbell"s hapless office drone in the cult favorite MERCY CHRISTMAS
Possibly my all-time favorite, William Finley as Winslow Leach in Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE
Amy Irving reunited with De Palma in THE FURY
Stephen Lack in David Cronenberg's SCANNERS
The lead woman in the possession thriller AVENGED
The home invasion "victim" in the jaw-dropping INTRUDERS
A classic: Audrey Hepburn in WAIT UNTIL DARK
Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott. Full stop.
Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson.
I knew number one would be either top three or number one because that’s who I thought of when reading the video title lol
I was hoping to see Ready or Not in this video. You're Next clearly does this in more gruesome fashion, but Ready or Not was a fun one to watch with Samara Weaving kicking ass and taking names.
I'm surprised Hush wasn't here 😆
If “You’re next” isnt on this list i will start a small, non violent protest
The babysitter movies are also a good fit for this list.
I watched Tucker and Dale bc Alan Tuydik(sp?) And loved it! (Yep, Browncoat here )
Orphan should be here
Grace, in Ready or Not.
Also, though technicalky not a horror film, John Rambo, in First Blood.
That beautiful voice 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍Ellie 😍😍😍😍
This list is more about unexpected retaliation. In some cases, being the bully or attacker versus someone who’s prepared like in The Purge is a better description. If not, then any movie can be in this list, like Nightmare on Elm Street
Ripley in Aliens? Also, does Hard Candy count as a horror film?
