10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died In The Final Shot
5. Everyone - The Cabin In The Woods
The Cabin in the Woods sees its surviving heroes press the big, red apocalypse button in its final moments, sticking two fingers up to everybody who put them in this sorry mess in the first place.
Marty (Fran Kranz) and Dana (Kristen Connolly) learn that they've been pawns in a ritual of human sacrifices - each resembling classic horror movie scenarios - intended to appease underground-dwelling deities known as the Ancient Ones.
The overseer of the operation, The Director (Sigourney Weaver), urges Dana to kill her pal Marty to complete the ritual and prevent the world from being destroyed by the pissed off Ancient Ones, but she ultimately refuses.
The movie ends with Dana and Marty sharing a joint while surmising that humanity's survival isn't worth the cost of sending people to their deaths.
And so, the final shot shows one of the Ancient Ones' giant hands bursting through the Earth, destroying the facility and killing Dana and Marty in the process, while implying that the entire world's population is now in the midst of being wiped out.
