10 Scariest Movies Where No One Dies

8. Flatliners

Conjuring 2 Crooked Man
Columbia Pictures

Okay, okay, listen. This one does count, but it's fair to say it's a little bit complicated.

Directed by the masterful tone shifter Joel Schumacher (from Batman and Robin to 8MM in only one year!), this intense and thrilling sci fi horror sees a group of amoral medical students experiment with getting high by indulging in the eponymous past time.

This, er, risky practice involves intentionally flatlining in order to have a near death experience, only to then shock each other back to the life at the last second.

Okay, so surely in a psychological horror with that premise, proceedings must come to a close when one of them overdoes it and actually dies, right?

Er... No.

Sure, the main characters may all flatline multiple times, but bizarrely no one actually dies for good in this thriller.
