Sam Jackson in deep blue Sea 😂
OA I Know What You Did Last Summer, Get Out, The Shining, It, Nightmare On Elm Street, Carrie, A Quiet Place, Scream 5 and The Mist.
I admit I almost cried when Dewey died, it’s sad since Sidney and Dewey never got to see each other face to face in years.
Dewey is a duck you silly goober
@@dogman_TheCZcamsr Dewey in Scream
Almost? ALMOST?! I cried my heart out when Dewey died. The tears come back every time I think of it. 😭
I did cry 😂
Dewey has to be the saddest death because it proves a tiny thing like a phone call can do something huge like his death.I😢😢😢
Dewey is one of those characters who's always willing to put his life on the line for others, and the team felt it was necessary sacrifice in order for the franchise to move forward.
My mom, brother, and I absolutely refuse to watch scream 5 for this exact reason. This news especially affected my mom considering she grew up watching The Scream movies and seeing Dewey survive getting stabbed in basically every movie.
Yep
Dewey is one franchise good a
There was originally gone to be a scene where Dewey actually survived.
@eddieblancher7557 why didn't that happen instead
For me as a dog owner, Sam’s death in I Am Legend is the most heartbreaking death for me. That dog was the only family Neville had left, the only thing that kept him from being completely alone, and the only thing that prevented him from killing himself. Even after all the times I’ve seen it, I always cry when he has to put Sam down 😢
(╯︵╰,) I just can't
🐾 💔 🐾
🎵 everything is gonna be alright 🎵
That made me cry
@@calebsoria1777 same with me
I can watch people die all day but when a dog dies it hurts deeply
@@darthbloodborn I feel the same. I see bad guys get blown to bits by the hero and I don’t bat an eye. If a dog or another kind of animal dies, I cry
The deaths at the end of the Mist were so sad to me especially the son Billy when David realized he killed him for nothing. David’s response was devastating.
What's even worse is that when you think about it, Mrs. Carmody won.
I wouldn't change that ending even if I could.
@@Godzillamanshe still died, though.
@@GodzillamanI mean not really, she got a bullet to the face
The mist is like the saddest ending in a movie ever, even Stephen king prefers it to the ending he wrote
Dewey undoubtedly would have felt guilt over Judy's murder, perhaps believing her fate could have been averted had he helped sooner.
I was heartbroken by Nancy's death, the same with Dewey. Both were survivors that fought bravely til the end😥
Everybody forgets about Carrie's prom date. Poor guy was trying to do a good thing and gets his neck broke.
Yeah, he was a genuinely good guy.
@@Adamguy2003not really he was friends wit carries bullies and also dated one
@@ljmccoy No, he dated the good one who regreted her actions and just wanted to make amends. He was still a decent boy even if not good.
I know! He wasn't in on that horrific plan, neither were the School Principal or Mrs. Collins, she just imagined they were laughing at her
Nora in Final Destination 2 is so depressing to me. The way she says she has nothing to live for after losing her family, to wanting to live when she’s caught in the elevator… Definitely one of the more somber deaths in the series.
Honorable mention to the pregnant lady in Victor Crawley who gets stuck in the wreckage of the plane crash and drowns as the water rises.
When she says “I don’t wanna die!” And then immediately dies 😭 final destination is usually such stupid over the top deaths but hers just makes me sad, hearing her pleas to live and then it’s all for nothing
Jesus loves you and may God bless you
@@jesussaves852 Please tell that to Nora. 😭
Train to Busan is one of my favourite movies of all time. It was also one of the first movies that made me cry ❤
Yeah, you bet. Seeing her father turned into a zombie and her crying and pleading for her dad made my eyes bawl out.
My brother and I watched it once cuz he said "Countries other than the US have better quality horror movies. Not so jump-scare, but better." And man, was he right. This movie had me shaking at the end.
I was crying more during the Grandma Sisters deaths
I just feel sadder seeing old people die from things rather than old age
Sometimes I have to look away for that scene, but the incredible score makes me cry because I know what it means.
It's brutal and heartbreaking, especially for Richie, who harbored a deep love for his best friend and is devastated to his body behind when the caverns start to crumble around them.
I’ll never get over Nancy Thompson’s death in Dream Warriors. The fact that Krueger disguised himself as her father (who he had already killed) made it even more cruel because Nancy’s relationship with her father was so strained.
Yeah, but that death was still kind of satisfying. Heather Langenkamp is such a disastrously bad actress that every second of her presence on screen is a chore to sit through. Had an actress with even a modicum of talent portrayed the character, then I would probably have mourned her demise too. As it is - heck no. Not in the slightest.
Actually, I think Kristen's death in the fourth Elm Street is sadder. Hear me out. First, she drags her friend Alice into her dream, and then sacrifices herself to save her, only for Freddy to start going after Alice and a new set of victims now that all The Elm Street Kids are dead.
Carrie didn't deserve any of the treatment she got.
No kidding.
If only her mom at least told her about her period I feel like most of this could have been avoided if she at least knew about it
Gale’s reaction to Dewey actually made me cry
omg yesss
Really glad Gage topped the list. Very few things are sadder than the death of a baby. Louis's scream after the truck accident was heartbreaking.
Poor Gage!! Not fair, not fair!! 😢😢
The death of a baby is way worse man. Max Payne anyone
It honestly sends me into a violent rage at the funeral scene afterwards when the grandad has the gall to punch the father WHO JUST LOST HIS BABY in the face and blame it all on him. Like I don't care if you aren't able to process your own grief, that was HIS SON, how F***ing DARE YOU?!!!"
Church dying twice fucked me up too. Poor kitty😢
What scared me about "The Shining" was the fact that it was shot from the side of someone having a psychological nightmare. That's what got me hooked on that movie.
I can’t believe they killed Dewey like he’s one of the main characters and the last movie is not scream without him.
Fun fact the young actress in a quiet place was specifically chosen because she was deaf. John wanted the person to play the part be able to do it naturally and not fake it.
Having someone with a disability play a character with the same disability makes sense. That’s why so many disabled characters feel off because they’re played by someone who doesn’t know what it’s like at all. Like the good doctor is a good example..
I KNOW RIGHT?! I'm autistic and that series made me feel SO misrepresented... 😢😢😢
Some movies REALLY hit you in the feels
Fr
No kidding
Stupid bot
The middle aged Dewey Riley (played by David Arquette who survived all four movies) didn’t deserve to be killed by Richie’s 18-year-old psycho girlfriend and also Stab movie fan Amber Freeman, but that’s fine, Dewey and other murder victims were avenged thanks to both Gale Weathers and Tara Carpenter before “the requel” ends.
Sam from I am Legend completely DESTROYED ME. I can’t even watch that movie again.
Frank from 28 Days Later was just sooooo devastating! Funnily enough though, the same actor played Mad Eye Moody in Harry Potter, and the eye that got infected was the same one that Mad Eye lost (in the films… it was the right eye in the books, I think).
The deaths at the end of The Mist hit SO HARD!! If he had only waited just a few minutes more, they would have ALL been saved!!
The saddest death I’ve seen in a horror movie is Helen Lyle from Candyman (1992)
It made me cry when I saw Helen died while giving Anthony back to his mother 😢 Especially during the beautiful music 😢
Was just about to say this. Had me in tears as a kid.
And the fact that she’s pyschologically tortured through most of the movie before her demise makes it so awful 😭
@@ThatHorrorGuy99 She was, but I get your point.
Remembering the rules of Scream’s ways to surviving a horror flick always helps when you watch any horror flick in general. It sure made me more keen on taking notice what the characters should and should not do.
And Dewey’s demise still hurts like a bi***. He should’ve barely survived that.
How can people call out Carrie White foe being a villain but she has been abused by her crazy mother and being bullied around, Carrie White deserves to be loved.
I feel like Joyce from Saw 3D should have been mentioned. She was totally victimized and dragged into her husband's game. He lost his final game (just like losing all except the tooth pulling trap), and his wife was burned alive. All because he made up lied about surviving a Jigsaw trap.
Pretty sad and screwed up to me....
Seriously like she had nothing to do with it, why was she trapped and killed.. It went against John Cramers whole thing ugh
Not to mention Bobby was one or two tugs away from succeeding. I don't know what made him stop from where he was but he wasted too much time reaching for those plugs and the fact it took him a while to reach them meant he could have pulled himself closer.
Wiseman once said
Fate are worse than death
Dewey’s death was so sad, no doubt. But, man…..the ending of The Mist was so soul crushing. Thomas Jane’s performance was top tier.
The man loses his wife and his son in such horrific ways. So damn depressing.
The end of The Mist is the saddest ending in movie history, it’s just so painful. If they just waited a LITTLE BIT LONGER THEY WOULD’VE BEEN OKAY 😭 and the look his son gives him when he realizes what’s about to happen.. UGH I HATE ITTT
Eddy's death was the saddest moment in IT Chapter 2
I agree
Dewie's death was heartbreaking in Scream V, but it's not like it wasn't preventable. I mean I get why he went back to shoot the killer in the head, but he should know better as a Stab survivor than trying to do that on his own even if he left the killer on the ground. Even Sydney and Gale saw through Amber's fake pleads of help later in the movie thanks to all of their experience.
Heck if he knew the killer could come back if not shot in the head he should have also know the killer could have took the time Dewie was saving Sam and Tara (not including Richie for obvious reasons to those who seen the movie) the Killer could have set up a trap in case one of them did come back. In fact either Mickey and Mrs Loomis actually did something like that in Scream 2 that cost Sidney one of her college friends?
I could careless.
@@jaybeeeasy where do you think Amber got the idea for the trap that killed Dewie from? Stab 2 based off the book Gale wrote on Mrs. Loomis and Mickey’s Ghostface murders
Amber and Richie were trying to make a requel out of Stab 8, which meant everything between Stab 1-7 was left the same including the ones involving Scream 1 2 and 3 and thus could be use as inspiration for their murders as a character’s dedication to their predecessors that they kept in the requel. That’s how requel work in any franchise as it shows where the requel stands in the franchise timeline
And the fact Dewie made a mistake of going back when he knew the ghost face murderers were following the rules of legacy aka requels made it even more foolish as I’m he didn’t know Al just where in the stab franchise the killer was trying to redo, especially after Wes and his mom’s murdered since they were sequel character/Legacy and if it was a requel from the first stab movie those two should have been safe. Anyone who seen Halloween H20 should know requel can take place after a sequel too just as long as there is another sequel to be a cut off point
Helen’s death gutted me when I first watched IKWYDLS. I guess it’s still effective since it gives me anxiety every time I watch that scene. 😢
Same!!!! Omg she was sooooo close to making it.
The end of "The Mist" was a soul-crusher -- the saddest I've seen in any Horror film. The only other moments on film that had me broken and teary-eyed was when Willem Dafoe's character in "Platoon" was killed and the ending to "On the Beach" (1959).
I think that Tina in Halloween 5 should be included on this list, it was quite heartbreaking to see Tina selflessly sacrifice herself for Jamie when Jamie wasn’t even her sister. For that matter Rachel’s death was also sad just didn’t hit as hard
Dude, I cried so hard (still do everytime I watch Scream 5)... Dewey was the heart and soul of scream, David was fully invested into being Dewey.. he will forever ve my Nr.1 Scream character
They ruined Dewey death with the trailer, anyone who’s a fan would know nothing would upset Gale that much except Dewey dying
Dewey’s death was absolutely breaking for me. I couldn’t continue on watching the movie for a bit. Everytime i rewatch scream 5 I have to skip that scene
Dewey’s death was actually really devastating to me. With him not only were you not expecting it, but it also wasn’t an easy to take one. Frank is another one, that hit me in a rather gut wrenching manner. When you see him with his daughter the last thing on your mind is he’s a goner. You actually want him to survive so he can take care of his daughter. So when he gets infected and shot to death it comes as a huge shock to the system. Not only do we lose a great hero, the daughter loses all she has. Which is something totally ripped off in films like the Dawn of the Dead Remake. For one thing that remake undid some of what made the original so special. For another it added its own, but it was still the lesser film. It was fun yes, but the zombies were no longer funny brain dead but man eating creatures. They were speedy demonic creatures who lacked the souls of the people they once were. The social commentary, while there was more grotesquely abusive. I mean literally, the analogy, of celebrities are just stupid husks of people is disgusting. So making a game of “kill that zombie who looks like this celebrity”, was gross as shit. You don’t get that with the original, of all things. No the original is basically herding the zombies like sheep, but it’s still isn’t killing them randomly. They even make a point to say “These are people and these people used to practically live out their lives here, so there’s no need to kill them if you don’t have to.” A less pronounced version of “No, they’re looking for a place to go, just like us.”
My thoughts were: couldn't they have gone after someone else in the main cast for once? At that point they had "almost"-killed Dewey in at least two prior movies. I mean, what IS the deal here?
Dewey's death will always be painful. As a fan of the Scream franchise, it's hard to let him go, he played such an important part to Gale and Sidney's life. The holy trinity will be missed forever. ://
I personally feel like Anika's death in the midst recent Scream movie was sadder.
That one REALLY hurt... 😢
Was that the ladder death? Because i totally get that, i actually cried :(
DEWEY.
He kept getting stab so many times throughout the franchise but number 5 his wounds were just too much for him.
Gale got really broken and that was the only time I felt sympathetic for her
In the original version of ‘The Exorcist’, Father Damian Karras died like a hero before the ending.
The ending of the Mist is so crazy, I remember watching it a long time ago and I was so shocked. If they waiting a little longer! DAMN!
No Beau Abbott from A Quiet Place?
LOVE that you put Nancy in the list❤️
The final girls is so underrated.
I saw the notification come up on my phone about this video before I looked at the video's thumbnail and the first thing that came to mind was Dewy in scream 5 and once I saw the thumbnail I was happy I was right.
OH! You got me at the heartstrings to say his name. I didn’t want Dewey to die. I couldn’t help but cry when he died in the killer’s hands
Dewey's death in Scream (2022) actually really shocked me. He was such a great character in the Scream series and I bet it took a lot of balls to finally deciding to kill off one of the legacy characters.
Dewey hit me so much cause I'm a huge scream fan good list I'll still have a cry over them tbh 🤧
It was definitely sad when Dewey died in 5 but now it's getting ridiculous what the other victims are surviving.
Dewey’s death hurts me the most!!!
He’s such a lovely and kindhearted person…and he’s my favourite character in the entire Scream Franchise!!!
I will never forget when Dewey died, me and the girl next to me grabbed each other's hands, me thinking it was my Nana and her thinking it was her boyfriend. Even after we realized our mistake, we kept holding hands because we were so devastated.
Halloween 2 2009 directors cut- Annie's extended death montages. Oh, and the twist ending of Odd Thomas gets me too.
The Wicker Man should be on this list. Yeah, the cop is kind of a jerk at first but he’s trying to do the right thing and doesn’t deserve what happens to him
I love the screen movies. I almost broke down, crying in the theater when Dewey was killed even though I knew it was gonna happen.
Another one I would mention would be Sidney‘s boyfriend Derek from scream 2. He was a legitimately good guy that cared for her and so tragic that he died thinking Sidney had thought he was a killer.
Of course also an honorable mention to Jennifer Joli from scream three, who was easily the best character in that movie, and it was pretty idiotic of the writers to have her get killed off in a pretty stupid way. If you ask me, they should’ve killed off detective Kincaid, since I never liked his character and hope if they bring him back for a seven film, he bites the dust.
Seok Woo in Train To Busan is #1 for me. The daughter crying chokes me up every single time.
"DON'T GO!" Oh my god.
@@Neuvihottie her crying and the other lady holding her as he runs out the train 🥺🥺🥺
@@nchen09 🥺🥺🥺
Richie's reaction to Eddie's death was so heartbreaking.
"WE JUST NEED TO GET HIM OUT SAFELY!" :(
Dewey definitely belongs on this list. Poor guy went through that nightmare long enough.
*Spoiler for the Saw-Franchise*
Another Death wich is not on this list, but wich hit me really hart, was Agent Strahm in Saw 5. He was an interesting character and was right his distrust for Hoffman. Poor guy didn´t deserve to go that way.
Dewie's death made me sad due to him being apart of the franchise for so long, but seeing Gale get revenge for dewie was so satisfying.
Honorable mentions
Rain Ocampo - "Resident Evil" (2002)
Harold Aubrey Whitehurst - "Child's Play 3" (1991)
Evelyn O'Connell - "The Mummy Returns" (2001) [Even though she was ressurected, later on]
Captain Quint - "Jaws" (1975)
Ellen Ripley - "Alien 3" (1992)
Halloween 2 (2009) Annie´s Death, not for the character perse, but the reaction of the Chief Brackett (the father)
Dante's perk grandma's death
Ben - Night of the Living Dead depending on which version 60's or 90's his Death or Murder is sad especially in The 90's Version where he helps at least 2 Survivors make it to the morning.
I completely agree with number 1!
The Mist. Every time I hear about it but I’ve never seen it.
In retrospect, does look pretty devastating
Hallorann in The Shining is still sad to watch, he was sweet and kind man.
I sobbed watching train to Busan. I dont normally cry during movies but that one just ripped my heart apart.
I thought Eddie's death in IT 2 is gut punching. Especially knowing his body had to be left as the lair as it got tore down. Then when they are all in the water and Richie breaks down and the rest have to comfort him. Heartbreaking.
i cried seeing dewey die because he was funny, caring, strong, and the best character
The death of the baby at the end of It Comes at Night was really upsetting... Hearing the mother scream the way she was screaming. Unreal.
Frank! 😭 28 days later was so good.
Many tears were shed
Sam’s death in I am Legend and the father’s death in Train to Busan really hurt and I shed a few tears 😢
For me, it was Dewey from the Scream franchise. He has been in almost every movie and was so selfless. Many of us wish that Ghostface didn't kill him.
Losing Dewey did hurt but I have come to acceptance ❤
I think you will find there aren't any Alligators in the movie Black Water, Crocodiles on the other hand yes. Really silly mistake to make.
I'm surprised that the 2001 supernatural horror movie called Bones directed by Ernest Dickerson isn't on this list. 🤔 Snoop Dogg portrayed Jimmy Bones a murdered numbers runner that rises from the grave to avenge his death. The scene when Jimmy is betrayed and brutally murder is one of the most heartbreaking and saddest scenes in the whole entire movie as of today I still can't watch it as it makes me emotional and teary-eyed.😥🥺😔
Can’t wait
See-Wuk made me cry. Really thought he’d made it
Out of all of these, Train to Busan made me cry
What makes the deaths at the end of The Mist so saddening was that it was completely avoidable if they had just waited 5 minutes.
The Mist, Bo and Lee from the Quiet Place, Dewey, and Georgie will always get me 😞 when it’s a parent sacrificing themselves for their child, like Lee, it just breaks my heart. Especially, the story of his daughter believing she wasn’t loved by him cause of Bo. Then, the fact that in the Mist he mercy killed his child, but has to live on without him and the guilt of taking his life. I just can’t 😭
This is so sad 😢
These are so sad 😢
Gage Creed: no fair no fair no fair
Couldnt help but shed a tear when dewey was killed, dude was the heart of the franchise. He was just genuine and a natural guardian. Seeing him in a bodybag after he cheated death so many times before, it was a hard pill to swallow
10 Cloverfield Lane was a mindfuck when I first saw it. I feel like it's really underrated and not enough people talk about it.
I think I read the book before seeing the movie Pet Sematary. The book scared me more than the movie because my son was the same age as Gage at the time, so for a day or two I was scared of my own child.
I see Courteney Cox, I click
Top Ten Movie Deaths that made Fans Angry than Sad
I live is Australia it's so relieving to see another aussie
The lee abbot one they didn’t mention the sign language to the daughter as she was responsible for the young kid dying, she felt her father didn’t love her because of that but before he died he let her know he always did. I legit cried reading subtitles.
The Orphanage. Laura overdosing on Simón's meds to become the matron to the children she grew up with plus Simón and Tomas.
Micheal - Dawn of Dead (2004) in the Uncut version after he says goodbye to Anna, he'll hold a gun to his chin...& all we hear is a Gunshot.
I’d go with him, Andy, or Luda/Luda’s Baby
Another parent that got me sad. Lee’s sacrifice in A Quiet Place is emotional for me
One I found pretty devastating not on the list was the blonde cop in Silent Hill. She was burned alive trying to help the mother to get her daughter back and the mother had to watch her die right next to her.
Rest in Peace, Dewey. 😔
WatchMojo - "How many ads are you going to place on our videos?"
CZcams - "Yes."
Yeah the end of Pet Cemetery where Gage says "It's Not Fair" just after getting ended is classic.
The fathers screams as the camera pines over to a tossed shoe...yeah Gage's death bore nothing but invasive thoughts for me as a dad to this day lol
The screaming of the daughter as Seok-Woo died... aw i wws crying so hard.
You forgot my boy Quint from Jaws!
RIP
