You often see movies or books about people who can never die, but usually they also heal super fast from any wound or injury. Just a thought on my end, but what if you can never die, but you heal at a normal rate?
The scary part about this is that the normal person can relate since no fast healing is involved. The person in the character is essentially still conscious no matter what happens. What’s to say this doesn’t occur in real life? Obviously you can’t heal from everything or live forever, but what’s to say your consciousness doesn’t continue drift along out there?
It probably wouldn’t work that well as a film because you can’t show the inside of someone’s mind (supposing you take a first person perspective). From an outside observer though, that might work. Ideally, a book would work better so you can see the main character’s thoughts.

This is an idea that came to me for possibly a short video ad of some sort. Promotes safer driving I guess, but really.. change the ending and it could promote a lot of things.
Scroll through a series of scenes showing every day life. Closer shots show they are actually running backwards. Over time, we see that these are all mistakes that people make (spilling coffee, breaking tables, etc) that are fixed by going backwards in time.
Eventually we come to the scene of a car accident with a car pinning a helpless victim to a tree. The scene running backwards, however, does not solve the issue. The car pulls away and the victim slides to the ground. The car is intact - in fact, it’s brand new - but the person spends his life scarred.
