10 Best Horror Movies Where Nobody Dies

Horror movies featuring aliens are part and parcel of the genre. Usually, we're faced with stalking monsters able to tear humans apart with their superior technology, genetically engineered to be killing machines in a way that we could never compete with. Whilst that type of hopeless horror works well in many films, Dark Skies goes the alternate route - the fear of being taken far more persistent than the fear of being killed.

The reality is that no-one needs to die as the whole concept is one that will send ice through your veins to begin with, detailing the story of a family that has been marked by The Greys - a subspecies of aliens - for a child abduction. The Barrett family's encounters with the spindly-limbed assh*les appearing throughout their home repeatedly until they finally, with a sad and deeply unsettling sense of inevitability, take their child to god knows where and for god knows what are far more disturbing than a simple death ever could be, with a hallucination of a suicide and a few hundred kamikaze birds the closest we get to any sort of physical peril.
