10 Horror Movies Where Everyone Dies

For years, there have been whispers that Danny Boyle’s stellar duology of the infected would become a trilogy. Many beg that day to come, but until then 28 Weeks Later remains the final entry in the series. In fashion with the series, Boyle gives us a disturbing ending of hopelessness to round off an enthralling film.

For the first half, 28 Weeks Later follows Robert Carlyle’s Don, a survivor forced to leave his wife and friends behind in the hope of sanctuary. Perhaps the most intense start to a movie ever where all but Don dies should have given everyone a clue for what was to come, but hindsight is 20/20. Eventually Don is reunited with his children and his wife, perplexed but grateful about her survival. Yay?

The yays stop here sadly. Don’s wife is a carrier and one kiss later, Don is infected and brutally beats his tied-down wife to death. The perspective switches to the two young children, who are forced to flee with Military members played by Rose Byrne and Avengers’ own Jeremy Renner, whilst ol’ Papa spreads the infection through the quarantined London.

Hawkeye is burned alive, whilst Byrne is beaten to death with her own gun. Whilst Don is eventually shot by his own daughter and the siblings are flown to safety, the final shot shows an empty chopper and an overran Paris. Bleak isn’t the word.
