    Criteria? No main character is safe.

    My entries:

    1) The Mist (everyone dies...no escape...******* bleak movie)

    2) The Descent (those poor, stupid biatches)

    3) Predator vs. Alien Requiem (just saw this last night...gezus...even the pregnant women and children couldn't get away in this one. The enitre town get's nuked)
     
  2. John Carpenter's The Thing?

    I'll nominate "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" as the best.

    There were certainly no prisoners taken in that one.

    Here's some others:

    "Duel in the Sun" is a good one.

    The Link



    And "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" is another.

    The Link



    Then there's "Seconds."

    The Link



    And "The War Lord."

    The Link



    And "Bataan."

    The Link



    Plus, "The Naked Prey."

    The Link


    These are all good movies that fit your criterium.

    Check 'em out.

    And then, of course, there's always "Titanic."

    Alien.

    When I saw it the first time, I was thinking "just blow yourself up with the ship." Sigourney had more determination than me.

    I'll also second Dawn of the Dead and The Thing.

    To me the spirit of the post is: no one lives, there is no hero standing at the end.

    Resevoir Dogs comes to mind.

    TV Movie of the Week "The Story of Jim Jones". Powers Boothe was awesome as that demented f**k.
