9 Horror Movie Victims Who Gave Up... And Survived

8. Alex - Final Destination

The Exorcist Karras
New Line Cinema

In Final Destination, Alex has a premonition the plane he's boarded is about to explode. Alex starts having a meltdown, which causes him and six others to be removed from the plane, moments before it blows up. Because these seven passengers cheated death, The Grim Reaper must kill off them to restore balance.

When Alex warns his peers that Death is coming for them, they ignore him, which results in their demise. When he learns Death is preparing to kill his friend, Clear, Alex heads to her house to save her.

As he arrives at her driveway, Alex notices Clear is trapped in her car, dangerously close to two electrical wires and a gasoline tank. Refusing to let another person die, Alex grabs the two cables, allowing Clear to flee. Alex seems to accept his fate, saying, "I'll always be with you," just before the car goes kaboom, seemingly killing him.

However, the next scene cuts to a few months later, with Alex and Clear still very much alive. I mean, they popped their clogs in the sequel, but at least they lived through this movie.
