10 Most Horrific Horror Movie Scenes Where Nobody Dies
1. The "Hit" On John Parse - Possessor
And finally here's an especially ironic example of horrific non-death, considering the scene in question features everyone's favourite cinematic pin-cushion, the ever-death-prone Sean Bean.
In Brandon Cronenberg's brilliant sci-fi horror Possessor, assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough) is tasked with killing wealthy CEO John Parse (Sean Bean) and his daughter Ava (Tuppence Middleton).
Tasya possesses the body of Ava's fiancé Colin (Christopher Abbott) in order to do the deed, shooting Ava dead and then brutalising John with a fire poker. His face is horribly beaten before she shoves the poker into his mouth, tearing out his teeth and then following up by ripping out one of his eyeballs.
We don't see John die on screen, but the implication seems incredibly clear considering the extent of his injuries. And yet, it's later revealed that John somehow survived the insanely traumatic attack, and inexplicably even makes it to the end of the movie in one piece.
Some people have all the "luck," huh?
