10 Horror Movies Where You Never See The Villain

10. Final Destination

The Final Destination franchise's ingenious hook sees a host of central characters surviving sure death after one of them witnesses a premonition, only to find themselves picked off by Death itself on a second go-around.

But rather than have the characters be pursued by a CGI ghoul in a cloak, Death is never actually seen in any of the movies, depicted instead as an invisible, ever-present entity with the ability to subtly manipulate the environment to bring its targets closer to death.

Though many fans have theorised that the series' suspiciously knowledgeable mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd) may in fact be the human representation of Death, that remains firmly in the fan theory category for now.

Keeping Death invisible not only heightened the suspense of the various amusingly convoluted set-pieces, but was also a smart way to keep the budget in check.

Considering that death as a concept isn't something we ourselves can see in any tangible way, it's apt that it's depicted here as an invisible agent of destruction.
