10 Best Horror Movies Where Nobody Dies
1. Poltergeist
The threat of a haunted house might feel much more real when it has the capability to end your life, but Poltergeist's power to get right under your skin without a single drop of blood is far more permeating than any hack and slash horror movie of the same ilk is otherwise. Telling the tale of a family who become accosted by restless spirits in their home, the fear of being surrounded by death without ever suffering from it is perhaps the most intense of all - proven when Carol Anne is sucked through her closet and into another dimension by ghosts that want to steal her life force. Let's get real here, that's far more terrifying a prospect that a quick and simple demise.
Incorporating vengeful skeletons, strangulating clowns, and possessed trees in place of blood and guts, Poltergeist is a masterclass in pushing the genre to its limit whilst still maintaining a shockingly low rating.
