Without reading the original, I thought she woke up to a spider web spin in her throat.

Talk about nightmare fuel.

Needless to say, every answer on this list spoils the movie. But, really, how it happens is as essential as what happens.

Everyone

• Melancholia (one of the saddest movies I’ve seen)

• Knowing (a little Nicholas Cage never hurt anybody)

• Don’t Look Up (so well done, great soundtrack)

• On the Beach (1959, classic!)

• Sunshine (Alex Garland’s swing)

Religious undertones

• Constantine (“coffin nail”)

• Dogma (God/Alanis Morissette is the real hero)

• Meet Joe Black (the first death is the hardest)

Anti-Heroes

• Logan (heroes never die, right?)

• White Heat (1949, classic!)

• Kiss Me, Deadly (film noir, “the great whatsit”)

• Dancer in the Dark (Björk, another saddest film)

Dumped at an indeterminate location in space.

Vac suit or no, its a location with no landmarks, no resources, no surfaces… nothing. Can’t move, can’t be seen, can’t call for help, can’t survive.

I guess, the only upside is no sharks. But those micro-meteroid showers would certainly leave a mark punctures through your body. Like a shark.
