15 Best Movie Deaths Of 2017
11. Life – Rory Adams
The brilliance of astronaut Rory Adams’ death scene in Daniel Espinosa’s sci-fi horror Life is twofold: it’s both grisly and unexpected. Played by Ryan Reynolds, Rory’s gory death is the movie’s very first and while it’s quite a risk killing off one of your biggest billed names so early on the gruesome payoff in Life is perfect.
In the process of trying to rescue a fellow crew member from a Martian organism gone rogue that they’ve nicknamed Calvin, Rory himself falls victim to the alien being as it slithers into his mouth and royally f**cks him up from the inside out.
We don’t see this happen explicitly of course, but Reynolds’ pained convulsions and anguished bloodshot eyes are more than enough to suggest he’s being torturously ripped apart below the surface of his skin.
And if you’ve ever wondered what clots of blood floating in zero gravity look like, Life is your chance to see it. Head’s up: it’s both gory as hell and strangely beautiful.
