6 Movies Where Pretty Much Everyone Dies (3 of 3)

The Cabin in the Woods

This horror satire, which came out in 2012, has a good time making fun of all the goofy tropes found in slasher films. The plot is essentially a cat and mouse game in which a group of young people has to outsmart a shadowy organization determined to sacrifice them to some ancient order. The fact that it never takes itself seriously is precisely why audiences enjoyed it as well. It’s also a pretty smart film, completely understanding that viewers are in on the joke.

Who Dies: Pre-Thor Chris Hemsworth, Sigourney Weaver, Bradly Whitford, and Richard Jenkins all meet their demise.

Who Makes It Out Alive: Dana and Marty make it to the end, but when the Ancient Ones arrive, it is implied that they don’t have much longer to live.

Easy Rider

If you’re a big fan of gritty 1970s movies like The Godfather, Chinatown, and Taxi Driver, you have the Dennis Hopper-directed Easy Rider to thank. It was an unexpected hit that helped lead to a new area in Hollywood where previous conventions were thrown out the window and replaced with plots where anything goes. This is the movie that introduced Jack Nicholson and all of his potential to the world.

Who Dies: All of the main guys: Billy (Hopper), Wyatt (Peter Fonda), and George (Nicholson).

Who Makes It Out Alive: Secondary characters we could care less about.

Scarface

Directed by Brian De Palma and written by a fresh-faced Oliver Stone, everybody remembers that iconic quote “Say hello to my little friend” even if you’ve never actually seen the movie. Scarface tells the story of a Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino) who comes from nothing and becomes a wealthy, influential figure in the drug trade before meeting an anti-heroic death.

Who Dies: Aside from Tony, his sister Gina and most of his henchmen earn a one-way ticket to the bone yard.

Who Makes It Out Alive: Drug lord Alejandro Sosa, Elvira (Tony’s ex), Georgina (Tony’s mom), and Sosa’s hitman “The Skull” make it out alive.
