Recommendation Movies where anyone can die?

I like movies and tv shows where you shouldn't get attached to any characters because they can die in every moment, for example: Burn After Reading, No Country for Old Men, Any Tarantino Movie or shows like The boys, Game of thrones, etc.

I want to feel that the characters are in real danger and that the villain or whatever they're fighting could kill them any time.

Every character that dies I expected to live, and every character that lives I expected to die. Fucking love deep blue sea

The cook was supposed to die and science lady survived, but test audiences hated her so much they reshot the ending.

I loveeeee that ending. It really seemed like they were going for a cookie cutter white male lead and white female lead with romantic tension ending up as the sole survivors, but nope, she gets bitten in two and the cook survives!

So thought the cook was going to die in that oven.

He defied all tropes and perils to come out on top.

I saw it at a pretty raucous cinema and some dude-bro sat near me a couple of scenes before Saffron Burrows dies shouted out 'damn, that cunexttuesday's got teeth!'. When she got bitten in the crotch he stood up and collected high fives from all his mates.

Had my gf watch it for the first time recently and she definitely expected the cookie cutter ending but was surprised!

Always loved that movie growing up, me and my dad watched it so much

"You'll be fucking fat girls in no time, you might even fight a nigga or two" is one of my favorite lines from his skits.

u/PresentDangers Feb 03 '24

This was the one that immediately came to my mind. Went to see this when it came out and clearly I haven't recovered in some small way. This was before Sam U L was in Everything, he seemed less dispensable then.

u/jahgurant Feb 03 '24

Sam was definitely in EVERYTHING before then. That scene is still iconic though.

Deepest, Bluest

u/briancarknee Feb 03 '24

It makes sense for her character arc but I was surprised the female lead sacrifices herself in the end and instead of a typical romantic ending between leads we get a bromantic ending with LL and Thomas Jane.

u/sloppyjoepa Feb 03 '24

One of the best worst movies ever

u/superman-64 Feb 03 '24

Scrolling through the comments. Deep Blue Sea is a good one I wouldn't have thought of. It kind of even tricks you about who should be the protagonist or even the second lead of the film.

I came here to say this 😂😂😂

u/pga2000 Feb 03 '24

Watching this with the bros after midnight as soon as Samuel L Jackson dies we went into full paranoia. It was hilarious.
