10 Recent Movie Deaths Which Left Audiences Completely Stunned

At the end of M Night Shyamalan’s underrated modern classic Glass, all three main protagonists are murdered by the oppressive forces that have gaslit and imprisoned them. It wasn’t unexpected that former villain Elijah Price and tragic figure Kevin Wendell Crumb might meet their maker by the end of the film, but David Dunn surely had to survive.

He was the hero that audiences connected to twenty years prior in Unbreakable, he was the force teased in Split’s credits scene, he was the hero we were going to see fulfil his destiny after decades of waiting. He was the figure that audiences had clamoured to see as a complete superhero for so many years. But by the end, his weakness for water was used against him, and he was killed by the oppressive state that couldn’t handle his existence.

It was genuinely unexpected, absolutely devastating and one of the boldest on screen deaths in recent memory. Each of the three men’s deaths are devastating, with each performer doing career best level work to sell their struggle and heartbreak, and it directly leads into Shyamalan’s most emotional and profound ending. It was a massive shock and a massive success.
