10 Exact Moments We Knew Horror Movie Characters Were Doomed To Die

5. Alien: Covenant - Ricks And Upworth Get It On

Horror characters always love a bit of shower sex, and they'd probably all chomp at the bit to have shower sex in space.

Consequently, you can't blame married couple Upworth and Ricks for getting it on in the midst of a xenomorph outbreak in Alien: Covenant. I mean, when has being on an alien planet and the bloody murder of your colleagues at the hands of a bloodthirsty beast ever dampened the mood?

Obviously, this being a horror movie, you know as soon as they turn on the water (and each other) the mad shaggers are completely done for. It's too late in the movie, the cliche is too potent and, well, their deaths were both heavily featured in the trailers.

Of course it's not long until the wrong kind of penetration happens (ie the kind that comes from a xenomorph's second jaw and through a human skull) and the pair are killed off in grisly, graphic fashion.
