6 More Horror Movies No-One Survives

WhatCulture

There's no escaping the clutches of these grim horror flicks.

Transcript

00:00 The world of horror is a cruel, cruel beast, and sometimes it's even crueler than others.

00:06 It's one thing to have most characters in a movie die and just leave one final girl,

00:10 but it's a whole entire other thing when everyone dies.

00:14 Yeah, that's pretty bad going.

00:15 Picking up from our previous list of 10 horror movies where everyone dies,

00:19 due to popular request, we've put together a few more.

00:22 Thanks to that previous list, we can already tick these off the list,

00:25 so no comments asking for these. Go back to the other video.

00:28 We will have No Eden Lake, No Paranormal Activity, Cabin Fever, The Final Destination franchise,

00:34 Quarantine, 28 Weeks Later, The Blair Witch Project, Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead,

00:38 The Cabin in the Woods, and of course, the iconic Night of the Living Dead.

00:42 These are all off the table. So let's get to looking at six new ones.

00:46 I'm Amy from WhatCulture, and here are six more horror movies no one survives.

00:51 Six. Inbred.

00:53 Receiving its premiere in 2011 before a low-key release the following year,

00:57 British horror film Inbred is definitely a picture that will stick with you long after its 90-minute runtime is finished.

01:03 Is Inbred particularly good? No.

01:06 But what makes it stand out, though, is that it's brimming with gratuitous, gruesome gore.

01:11 Even now, over a decade since its release, Inbred remains a surprisingly jarring watch for those who choose to revisit it.

01:19 Plot-wise, the movie centres on four troubled youths who are taken to a small Yorkshire village to carry out some community service.

01:26 All done under the supervision of two caretakers.

01:28 Of course, this is a horror movie and nothing can go as planned,

01:31 so the group find themselves not exactly welcomed with open arms by the locals.

01:36 As it turns out, the residents of said village like to brutalise any visitors in spectacular fashion.

01:42 By that, it means that the outsiders are kidnapped and then used as part of a creepy stage show put on by the locals, for the locals.

01:49 With such shows ultimately resulting in the death of these star attractions.

01:53 Whether it's by chainsaw, gun, being trampled by a horse, or any number of other horrible things,

01:58 all six of Inbred's protagonists wind up dead.

02:01 Five. House of a Thousand Corpses.

02:04 Rob Zombie's directorial debut, House of a Thousand Corpses, infamously introduced the world to the Firefly family.

02:10 A clan of twisted, murderous sorts, the Firefly crew would go on to cause chaos and carnage for a further two movies.

02:17 Not even stopped by their purported demise at the end of The Devil's Rejects,

02:21 they appeared again, of course, in 2019's Three from Hell.

02:24 As House of a Thousand Corpses opens up, the attention is on four friends travelling cross-country

02:29 in order to pen a book on the most unique roadside attractions.

02:32 Upon hearing from Captain Spaulding about the twisted legend of Dr. Satan,

02:36 our buddies venture off to learn more about this sinister figure.

02:39 Unfortunately for them, damage to their car means an initially warm stay at the nearby home of the Fireflies.

02:46 But, of course, by the end of the film, this stay has not been warm and welcoming at all.

02:49 In fact, they're all dead.

02:51 For Rainn Wilson's Bill, he's killed and sculpted into a fishboy.

02:55 Jennifer Josten's Mary is erratically, frantically stabbed by Baby.

02:59 Chris Hardwick's Jerry is tortured to death by the aforementioned Dr. Satan.

03:03 And Erin Daniels' poor, poor Denise is maniacally hunted down by the Fireflies.

03:08 Before then, she's the last to be seen being operated on and, presumably, killed by Dr. Satan.

03:14 Four. Unfriended.

03:16 For every positive of social media, there are a handful of negatives.

03:20 All usually due to the sort of idiots who have to ruin things for everyone.

03:24 In 2014's Unfriended, it's Facebook in the crosshairs.

03:27 To set the stage, we have Laura Barnes,

03:30 a high school student who took her own life after a video was circulated on Facebook

03:34 of her drunkenly passed out and having soiled herself.

03:37 Skip Forward a Year and the supposed friends that were involved in the incident and its filming

03:41 are now seemingly haunted by Laura's spirit.

03:45 Being a tech-driven horror film, these hauntings actually play out through Skype chats,

03:49 with Laura exacting revenge from beyond the grave and tormenting her supposed BFFs.

03:54 By the time the penny drops that the mysterious, murderous Billy227 Skype user

03:59 really is somehow the presence of Laura,

04:01 it's too late for our core cast of teens,

04:03 with every single one of them winding up dead via bleach, blender, gunshot, and, uh,

04:08 a curling iron shoved down the throat.

04:11 To top it all off, Laura then uploads a video of all of this happening onto Facebook

04:16 and closes off the movie with her spirit lunging towards the camera.

04:19 3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning

04:23 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning has to be one of the great,

04:26 so near but so far final kills,

04:29 with Leatherface appearing in the backseat of an escaping car to slice up Jordana Brewster's Chrissy.

04:34 As a movie, The Beginning is bang average at best,

04:37 but with the slaughtering of Chrissy, Leatherface had finished his job

04:41 and made sure that the picture had zero survivors.

04:43 This 2006 prequel picture details how Thomas Hewitt became Leatherface,

04:48 and the film opens with an early death as Thomas' mother dies

04:51 whilst giving birth to the future chainsaw enthusiast.

04:53 From there, the now-adult Tommy kills his boss,

04:56 before then getting the chance to carve up five pretty young things by the time The Beginning wraps up,

05:01 the last of these being the aforementioned Chrissy.

05:03 Away from that, Leatherface also, of course, manages to polish off a couple of other people,

05:07 including two cops who manage to get in his way.

05:09 As of the time of the writing of this script,

05:11 Leatherface has been seen to have killed a total of 55 people,

05:15 and The Beginning was the picture that gave us a glimpse at the maniac's first few formative years.

05:20 2. 2001 Maniacs

05:23 A loose remake of the 1964 movie that was inspired by the 1940s musical,

05:28 Tim Sullivan's 2001 Maniacs is a great little popcorn horror flick

05:33 with some fine turns from genre faves Robert England, Lin Shay and Peter Stormare.

05:38 Set in the Georgia town of Pleasant Valley,

05:40 this picture finds six college kids and a few bikers stumble upon said town,

05:44 just as the annual Guts and Glory celebrations are taking place.

05:48 Yes, the event title sounds a bit ominous, but then you can lighten up by knowing

05:51 it's actually just a memorial for those who died in the American Civil War.

05:56 It's just that actually, we're mourning the ones that died on the Confederate side,

05:59 and Pleasant Valley itself is actually a cemetery site.

06:03 After all but two of our protagonists are slaughtered in some truly gruesome ways,

06:08 the reveal of Pleasant Valley's truth is made out once two survivors manage to get out

06:12 and make it to the nearby Sheriff's office.

06:14 There, the duo are informed that Pleasant Valley no longer exists,

06:17 and that the site is nowadays a graveyard.

06:20 Rightfully freak the hell out, our heroic pair pile onto a motorbike and drive off into the sunset,

06:25 only to then be decapitated by a well-placed slice of barbed wire.

06:30 And with that, every one of this 2005 movie's key characters are nicely killed off.

06:36 1. The Dyatlov Pass Incident

06:40 From director Renny Harlin, as in the helmer of the likes of Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea,

06:44 Cliffhanger, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4,

06:47 the Dyatlov Pass Incident is loosely based on the real-life deaths and disappearances

06:51 of nine hikers in 1959.

06:53 In regards to the loosely based angle here,

06:56 Harlin uses these disappearances as a launching point for a film that goes utterly nuts,

07:01 that throws time-travelling mutants and time-travelling mutants into the equation.

07:05 Also known as Devil's Pass in some markets, this 2013 film focuses on five modern-day American students

07:12 who head to the snowy Russian mountains where the events of '59 reportedly took place.

07:17 Desperate to unravel the truth behind this mystery,

07:19 three of the group wind up dead during the early goings of the picture,

07:22 and the remaining duo then encounter the aforementioned mutants.

07:26 Trapped in a minuscule bunker, the pair of Jensen and Holly have screeching beasts outside their door

07:31 as a strange wormhole appears in their tiny, temporary safe haven.

07:35 Left with no choice, the two opt to step through this wormhole and end up back in 1959.

07:41 As a result of this time-travelling, Jensen and Holly have mutated,

07:44 and as the realisation kicks in, they see that they are indeed the same mutants

07:48 who've been stalking their future selves in the present.

07:51 Sort of meaning that the human versions of them are dead and died in the present

07:55 when they travelled back to the past, which also kind of makes their death date the 50s.

08:00 They're sort of now dead before the present moment ever really arrived,

08:04 and now they're weird-looking, crusty-ass mutants.

08:06 Not one of the worst ways to go on this list, but definitely one of the weirdest.

08:10 And with that, we've reached the end of this list of six more horror movies that no one survives.

08:15 If you reckon you could have given us four more to make it up to a nice round ten,

08:19 then please let us know in the comments down below with what you would have included.

08:23 Remember, no repeats of the first list. Don't be lazy.

08:25 If you don't fancy that, though, head over to whatculture.com

08:30 As always, I've been Amy from WhatCulture, and I'll catch you next time.
