10 Best 'I'm Dead And I Know It' Moments In Apocalypse Horror Movies

This is one of those apocalypse films known for being depressing. Just one look at the colour-palette tells you that you’re in for almost two hours of sheer misery. You also know, just like the film’s central father, that there’s pretty much no chance of a happy ending.

The man, in some ways, is living his life with the mentality of being dead already, however when death becomes an imminent event he does have a moment to contemplate it. Lying on the ground and comforting his son, the man knows there’s nothing he can do. He tells his son that he loves him, that he has his whole heart, and the two embrace as they lay on the sand.

One shot in the dark shows the man’s face, partially lit by fire, as a tear rolls down his cheek. His son is asleep at his side and his teeth are slightly gritted, making it hard to tell whether he’s more angry or terrified at the concept of his passing.

With his last talk with his son, his nighttime tears and his ever-deteriorating state we know that he knew he was a goner, even if we didn’t want to admit it.
