10 Horror Movies That Killed EVERY Main Character

5. Life

Unfriended Movie
Sony Pictures

It may not have been the Venom prequel tie-in that some optimists were hoping, but 2017's Life gave sci-fi horror fans somewhat of a modern-day classic.

Focussed on the Pilgrim 7 probe as it's intercepted by the International Space Station on its way from Mars to Earth, the exciting discovery of an extraterrestrial organism takes a turn for the sinister when this organism - cutely named Calvin - is revealed to be a super-smart sentient being that is growing larger and larger in size and intelligence.

With Calvin having killed off their crewmates, the finale of the film comes down to Rebecca Ferguson's Miranda North and Jake Gyllenhaal's David Jordan having to stop this seemingly unstoppable beast. The plan here is for Calvin to be lured into an escape pod containing Jordan that's heading into deep space, with North in a different pod that's heading to the safety of the Earth.

The jaw-dropping close of Life reveals that North is the one hurtled screaming into the unknown of space, while Jordan and Calvin crash-land in the sea on Earth and are found by Vietnamese fisherman - allowing for Calvin to presumably devour pretty much the entire population of Earth.
