Every sci-fi movie buff knows the importance of staying off of the Internet for as long as possible after a major film comes out. The last thing that fans want is to have a significant death spoiled for them. Spoilers for movies like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," or "Avengers: Endgame" were up on the Internet days before the films were released. It's always a good idea to stay off Twitter before a highly anticipated movie comes out. Of course, it's also just a good idea to stay off of Twitter in general!
Killing off a character is not a creative decision that science fiction filmmakers take lightly. Some major sci-fi movie deaths were either very controversial or completely ruined the rest of the film. Whether they were shocking, devastating, or disappointing, here are some science fiction movies with deaths that we're still recovering from.

In 1962, Joseph Green's The Brain That Wouldn't Die thrilled B-movie fans with its depictions of depravity and scientific mayhem. It packed in ingredients that audiences loved: an obsessed doctor losing his way, beautiful women in peril, technological marvels hinting at the world of tomorrow and a terrible monster which we know is there but aren't allowed to see until the end. It may not have been very good by other measures but it lingered in the public imagination. Derek Carl's remake endeavours to bring it into the modern age whilst reproducing pats of it shot for shot.
The plot concerns surgeon Bill (Patrick D Green), whose brilliance is overshadowed by that of his father and who takes refuge in a Re-Animator-style obsession with defeating death. After his fiancée Jan (Rachael Perrell Fosket) is decapitated in a car accident, he succeeds in keeping her head alive and, with the assistance.

Remember back in 1998 when everyone threw their arms in the arms and complained incessantly about Gus Van Sant’s shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho? Well if Gus van Sant had followed the formula of Derek Carl and Hank Huffman’s remake of The Brain That Wouldn’t Die then maybe there wouldn’t have been that many complaints!
If you haven’t seen the original, this version of The Brain That Wouldn’t Die tells the story of a mad scientist Dr. Bill Courtner (Patrick D. Green) who develops a means to keep human body parts alive. After a car accident he keeps his fiancée Jan Compton’s (Rachael Perrell Fosket) severed head alive for days in his laboratory.
