10 Best 'I'm Dead And I Know It' Moments In Sci-Fi Horror Movies

10. Lee Abbott - A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place offers up an especially badass and unforgettable instance of a character who absolutely, positively knows their goose is cooked and at least makes the best of it.

In the alien invasion horror flick's climax, father Lee (John Krasinski) is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to lure one of the extraterrestrial monsters away from his children Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Marcus (Noah Jupe), who are holed up inside a nearby truck.

Realising that his children are basically moments away from being torn apart by the creature, Lee knows there's only one thing he can do. In his final moments, he signs to his deaf daughter "I love you, I have always loved you" and then screams at the top of his lungs.

At that moment, the monster turns its attention away from Regan and Marcus and vaults towards Lee, killing him while his horrified kids are able to ride the truck back to the safety of the family home.

Lee knew exactly what he had to do, and dammit, he did it.
