Jamie Kennedy in Scream 2. Felt like I'd lost a family member

Well in one of the alternate endings in The Butterfly Effect Evan Treborn (the main character) alters the past and prevents his birth from ever happening and I just found the whole scenario to be sad because he pretty much wanted this to happen. I'd go on about the whole time travel thing but it's just too complex for me but nonetheless for an alternate ending I thought it was a shock.

The problem with that ending and most time travel type flicks is the constant problem of the paradox, or the infinite multiverse theory, either way you can't really go back in time to change anything.

Still for the emotional impact it was kind of impressive.

Of the ones mentioned so far, the only ones I felt much sympathy for was Ben's death in NotLD. The little boy in the Orphanage was disturbing and sad too. Jacob's Ladder was sad, but came with a sort of acceptance, a truly moving movie.

Also in Frankenstein '32 the scene where the Monster throws the little girl into the pond is tragic. Not just for the characters death, but needlessness of the accidental death, which leads to the ultimate destruction of the abused and misunderstood monster, perhaps even more tragic than the young girls own demise.

Same could be said for the Wolfman '41. You can't fault Chaney's character for anything that's happened, and he's generally a good guy, but you know his death is inevitable. And it's tragic nonetheless

I found a huge lack of sympathy for the characters in Carrie apart from Carrie really. I really don't warm to bullies though.

Yes basically every death in Carrie. Not much more powerful than that film in my opinion.

^^ Yeah can't believe I put the name of the car and also the name of Christine from Drag Me To Hell... That death scene was ultimately sad with Clay just sit there and crying and both scary even though it was filled with terrible CGI.

Clare Harrison in Black Christmas.

She was far to attractive to die so early on. Perhaps my favourite female character in a Horror movie, other than maybe Angela from Sleepaway Camp but she wasn't exactly.. well you know.

I would have to go with Jack Ketchum's Girl Next Door.Man that poor girl went through hell.

2 films in my entire life have effected me... Martyrs and Girl next door. Both made me die a little inside and I don't think I'll be watching them again. The death of the girl in Martyrs near the middle kinda devistated me but at the same time I felt so much relief that her pain was over.

Girl next door, the ending was so tragic and terrifyingly realistic I'll never get over it, ever! I will always hear that pain. Erch making me tear up now! I used to be such a cold hard bitch haha.

Randy in Scream 2. WHY!?!?! I was so pissed and upset lol.

Dogs that are good guys always upset me but I can't say I feel for dogs that are the bad guys dog ready to tear the hero a new one, literally. Rather its bits than mine kinda thing.

The mother from The Woman. I kinda feel like she didn't deserve it, she was just as much a prisoner as The Woman was but I get that it was because she could have helped and didn't. Bystander

^^^ I wasn't crazy about 28DL but I thought Gleeson was just great in it. And I thought the same thing when his character died.

Gage - Pet Sematary - tore my heart out.
Bee Bee - Deadly Friend - I never cried so hard for an inanimate object's destruction.
Brendan Gleeson - 28 Days Later - Nooooooooo!
