10 Horror Movies Where You Know Nearly Everyone Will Die

An underrated title in the Alien canon, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Resurrection takes us far into the future (even by Alien standards), to some 200 years after Ellen Ripley's death (Sigourney Weaver), when corporate and military interests are still chasing the ultimate alien weapon. They have cloned the former heroine, complete with the alien she had onboard in Alien 3, and have managed to create a new batch of xenomorphs as a result.

Along for the ride this time are a squad of mercenaries - including Winona Ryder's Call and Ron Perlman's Johner - who get caught up in the action when the xenomorphs escape confinement on the USM Auriga, and they find themselves tasked with destroying the ship before it can return to Earth and accidentally unleash its cargo on humanity. 

The trailer is pretty tactful about what it shows, teasing just enough xenomorph and Ripley to keep things interesting, and yet at the end of the day, Resurrection is an Alien film. We know from experience that you are lucky if more than one person makes it out alive, and given this one has a large cast, there is a lot of misfortune to go around. Set up as something of a hunting grounds survival movie, with a big ol' gang of expendable mercs, scientists, and military men, Alien: Resurrection is constructed as much like a Predator film as an Alien one - setting our expectations to Absolute Carnage.
