10 Horror Movie Heroes Everyone Forgets About

10. Alex Browning - Final Destination

The Final Destination franchise falls victim to the classic horror curse of sequel after sequel, each with a decline in quality. While the original isn't peak horror, at least it offered something fresh at the time, and the elaborate kills are still fun to watch.

Each film revolves around a group who narrowly escape a gory death, thanks to one of them having a premonition moments before they meet their demise. Death isn't ready to just let that slide however, and begins picking them off one by one, in the order they were supposed to die.

The franchise's first protagonist and novice psychic is Alex Browning, who saves himself and a group of his classmates from an exploding plane they were supposed to board. Alex is immediately suspicious when the classmates he inadvertently saved begin dying under mysterious circumstances, and concludes that Death itself is out to set things right.

He does a decent job and even manages to save Clear, Alex's love interest. Where he goes wrong however, is when he and the other two supposed survivors assume that they've escaped Death. They head to Paris (where they were originally going in the beginning) to celebrate, where they realise too late that Death's plan is still in action. Despite meeting a grisly death as alluded to in the sequel, Alex still deserves some credit for kicking off one of horror's more unique franchises.
