10 Horror Movies Where Everyone Dies

10. Eden Lake

To international audiences and even some of you in the UK, Eden Lake may be one of unfamiliarity. Despite boasting such cast members as Jack O’Connell and Thomas Turgoose (stars of Skins and This is England), as well as Michael freakin’ Fassbender, the film only made around a measly four million (might as well throw it down the drain, right?).

The film was well-received and was awarded an Empire Award for Best British Film, with many lauding its portrayal of the danger of “hoodies” (that’s youth gangs to those not from the UK), which was a real hot-button topic at the time. Largely, O’Connell’s Brett and his gang spend the film terrorizing Fassbender and his wife, portrayed by Kelly Reilly, varying from innocent hijinks, to mindless vandalism, to sociopathic torture.

As you might expect from the title of the list, it doesn’t end well for our protagonists. Whilst midway through the film, Fassbender’s Steve dies valiantly of his wounds, Reilly’s Jenny fares much better. Channeling her inner final girl, Jenny not only escapes from the barbaric torture of the yobs, she’s also able to take a few of them out. However, her luck runs out when she runs into a house for help; Brett’s family home. Soon, she’s swarmed by the house and dragged away screaming to her certain death.
