10 Sci-Fi Horror Movie Fates Worse Than Death

The whole setup is basically one big nightmare: stuck in deep space on an evil starship with one of your own crew coming after you and being haunted by hallucinations of previous traumas and deaths. “How could this possibly get worse?”, you ask. How does a portal into an unknown dimension likened to eternal Hell sound to you?

After receiving a distress transmission from the titular starship, a group embark on a mission to scout out and rescue the crew, only to find on arrival that they are rather too late.

They discover that the ship was previously in a dimension they liken to Hell, and in the time since then it has become sentient and evil. The rescue crew are tormented with visions of past traumas and dead loved ones, and one becomes hell-bent on murdering his fellow crewmates in gruesome ways.

For this specific list, we’ll focus on the fate of Captain Miller. He suffers through all the pains of the rest of the group, including hallucinating seeing a subordinate he had previously abandoned, knowing the man would face death as a consequence. The real kicker comes at the end, however, when in a last heroic act he sacrifices himself to save the last remaining crewmates.

Sealing off the Event Horizon ship into two parts, with one acting as a lifeboat of sorts, he stays and detonates explosives on the other half. His half of the ship is sucked into a portal or black hole, where we can assume he will enter the dimension from which the ship came and suffer the rest of his time in space hell.

I would honestly wager that space hell is even scarier than regular hell.
