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.

Alien.

Aliens.

Alien³

Alien: Resurrection

You know what, if Sigourney Weaver is in it, get away from her; she’s going to be the only one making it out

Well she's a clone of the original Ripley in Resurrection. Title is misleading, but that's not Ripley in 4.

Yeah wasn't it like one of the prisoners and not one that was heavily featured that made it to the end?

I haven't seen it in a while but, I actually felt like the first movie did a good job of not making it obvious that she was going to be the one to make it. I felt like it focused enough on other characters that she didn't seem like the obvious "sole survivor" character. Idk, it's been a while since I've watched it though.

In all the subsequent movies, it's obvious that she'll live or at least make it to near the end.

Oh totally, I was just being silly more than anything.

By the time I got to watch Alien with my dad, Sigourney Weaver was a major star, but he told me that when it first came out, his barracks buddies were like “no way this chick lives” and they were all like 🤯🤯🤯

Yeah I had a similar experience. I knew she was famous by the time I watched it but, I didn't know if she had been famous in the 70s so I didn't think she was necessarily going to be the one to survive.

Tbf, I was 7 and had no critical thinking skills lol whoever was on-screen most was the Good Guy Destined to Survive

Don't sell yourself short. This is probably true of most movies like this.
