© Lions Gate Films George Romero’s first zombie movie eventually serves up a small army of hungry corpses, but it kicks off with a single, slightly lurching guy (Bill Hinzman) in a suit, looking like just another mourner at the cemetery where Barbra (Judith O’Dea) and her brother, Johnny (Russell Streiner), have arrived to place a wreath on their father’s grave.

You died too young, Chrissie. [Katie Rife], The first thing that hits you in the opening moments of 28 Weeks Later is the oppressive silence. New York police officer Ralph Sarchie investigates a series of crimes. How very meta.

[Jesse Hassenger], Gruesome by the standards of its time, Black Sunday was the movie that put Italian horror on the map: a lurid Gothic tale of cobweb-filled crypts, fog-shrouded cemeteries, and devil-worshipping Moldavian vampire-sorcerers. The biggest star in the film, then in the midst of a career renaissance, was not going to survive through the opening credits. “The Devil’s Brigade” (1968) The classic World War II film starring William Holden, Cliff Robertson, and a slew of recognizable actors tells the true story of a special fighting unit of Canadian Army and U.S. Army soldiers whose initial hate for each other turns to respect and camaraderie that helps them succeed in an impossible mission.

Tensions run high among those trapped, so Lustig calls the police and Detective Bowden assumes the case. 8 of 8 people found this review helpful. Get a sneak peek of the new version of this page. Carpenter’s stylized staging of the sequence treats the gaze of the young Michael Myers as elemental; slipping from artful expressionism into lurid voyeurism, the whole unshakeable sequence suggests the perspective of a killer whose psyche could be the dark side of film itself. CLACKER #2 Oh, please. It’s the stuff campfire scares are made of, but The Hitcher turns into something more fundamentally unsettled, combining Hauer’s magnetism, the mystery of roadside landscapes, and the intimacy of a car interior into a source of both mounting discomfort and seduction.

Dennis Weaver portrays David Mann, a business commuter from California driving a Plymouth Valiant while on his way to meet a client. Instead, it’s the sound design and the deliberate, persistent movement of the camera that creates the sense of an immediate threat. But there’s still something exciting about a scary movie that’s scary from the very start—one that opens with a big shock, sets a perfect tone immediately, or begins ratcheting up the suspense from the first frames. In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. Title: stuff for evil ladies: http://zindiq.co/2017/09/28/the-rad-girls-who-wear-leatherface-masks/A bit more sophisticated horror movie, for a change.

Night Shyamalan.The film stars Chris Messina, Logan Marshall-Green, Geoffrey Arend, Bojana Novakovic, Jenny O'Hara, and Bokeem Woodbine. The film begins with a simple black-and-white title sequence, before cutting to the world’s most stylishly lit airport, where we first meet American student Suzy (Jessica Harper). When Suzy pulls up to her new home, a German ballet school, in the pouring rain, we switch focus to a frantic young woman fleeing the school on foot. Every one of these opening set pieces is a gory delight, but the best of the bunch is probably the multi-car pileup of the first sequel. [Alex McLevy], James Wan came on the horror scene with the overwrought twistiness of Saw, but his Conjuring movies have a genre classicism that borders on stateliness by comparison. The long opening follows an increasingly nervous babysitter as she keeps getting phone calls from someone who asks, softly and ominously, “Have you checked the children?” From Carol Kane’s escalating anxiety as a woman alone, to the blood-chilling kicker from the police—“The calls are coming from inside the house!”—When A Stranger Calls begins with a sequence that’s a suspense classic in and of itself, touching on our common fear of being stalked where we live. Two siblings become increasingly frightened by their grandparents' disturbing behavior while visiting them on vacation. Movies. When the taunts begin, the hook has already been set—with a last scare that still surprises. But Wan plays hauntings like a conductor plays an orchestra. The devil in The Final Conflict is the Lucifer Morningstar of the Old Testament, who was thrown out of Heaven because of his pride and jealously. [Alex McLevy], Gore Verbinksi’s American remake of the J-horror phenomenon is a textbook case of how to do great horror: It takes an old trope (two teenagers telling the story of a mythical boogeyman, only to have it become horrifyingly real) and updates it with a modern conceit. Release Calendar DVD & Blu-ray Releases Top Rated Movies Most Popular Movies Browse Movies by Genre Top Box Office Showtimes & Tickets Showtimes & Tickets In Theaters Coming Soon Coming Soon Movie News India Movie … It went by fast though. It’s two demolition derbies for the price of one! But its opening onslaught of terror stands alone, promising a better movie (and career) than the one that followed. [A.A. Dowd], John Landis is a comedy director as much as he is a horror director, but no matter what genre he’s working in, he’s always a baby boomer. And, much like Robert Carlyle’s panicked breaths on his escape boat, the sequence leaves viewers breathless and exhilarated, and with the bleak assurance that death is coming for everyone. A pot of boiling water creates an almost unnoticeable transition from day to night; the camera follows two conversations (one by phone, one by computer) through the cramped quarters, efficiently establishing geography; and then a great use of “There’s someone behind you” leads into… nothing. [Ignatiy Vishnevetsky], All five Final Destination movies begin the same way: Some hunk or babe experiences a premonition of mass doom (a plane crash, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a bloodbath at the race track), which they and a few others are then able to narrowly sidestep, incurring the score-settling wrath of death itself. A series of events tests the beliefs of a small isolated countryside village. In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. [Alex McLevy], The nerve-jangling first 20 minutes of When A Stranger Calls began life as a 1977 short called “The Sitter,” by writer-director Fred Walton and co-writer-producer Steve Feke, who’d go on to make the feature-length version. Snyder’s career-launching remake of Dawn Of The Dead begins on an idyll of suburban calm that’s nightmarishly shattered when a zombified little girl invades the home of an unsuspecting ER nurse (Sarah Polley). 2.14 Again, the woman is dragged a few inches further. But we think of you every time we dip our toes in a dark body of water and decide that maybe dry land is the better bet. [Sean O’Neal], Darkness Falls is a dreadful movie, a paint-by-numbers teen horror flick that can barely marshal the energy to put the “jump” in its jump scares. A group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them. Rated PG-13 for violence and disturbing images, thematic material and some language including sexual references, Dana DeLorenzo to Reprise Role as Kelly Maxwell in Evil Dead: The Game, Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2021: #92. No one pays much mind. A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come. Club is counting down the scariest, creepiest, and most nerve-shredding opening scenes in horror-movie history. The film, which only gave away a very small amount of information in the global trailer, ‘Devil’ was produced and created from the mind of M. Night Shymalan and was predicated to be amazing. Sexually repressed nuns let their habits fly. ANDY runs in. That’s not a great advertising strategy, and neither is the sight of watching the mob beat its victim—whether he’s innocent is up for debate—with iron chains, nail him to a stone wall, and throw quicklime on him so he starts dissolving before our eyes into a fizzy goop. Them, a film in which probably 90 percent of the dialogue happens in the first 10 minutes, uses its opening sequence to demonstrate the power of staying in the moment with a character, rather than wandering ahead. That fact is a Greek tragedy. And the camera pulls back at the end to reveal the monster floating, above the door, in a great and chilling tease for the movie to come… if only it lived up to that prompt. I enjoyed the cinematography. Faust is a tragic play in two parts by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, usually known in English as Faust, Part One and Faust, Part Two.Although rarely staged in its entirety, it is the play with the largest audience numbers on German-language stages. [Ignatiy Vishnevetsky], While anticipation of the inevitable—what’s around that corner, what’s behind the door—can goose adrenaline and ratchet up tension, it’s easy to tip over into predictability. It's a How-To that should be taught in screenwriting courses all over the country but probably will never even get a passing mention. Just because you’re paranoid… [Mike D’Angelo], John Carpenter’s genre-defining Halloween was not to the first to use a stalking “creep’s eye” point of view for its opening scene (Bob Clark’s Black Christmas did something similar four years earlier), but it remains the standard. A deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window. (Because beginning with a bang is a fairly modern tradition, we couldn’t find anything particularly applicable from cinema’s first half-century—though we wracked our brains, honest!) The Italian director was more into gross-out gore, and there’s plenty of that in the opening scene of The Beyond. [A.A. Dowd], The Pact opens on an unblinking eye, like an inverted homage to the rapidly blinking eye that kicks off Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom. The dream is over as quickly as it began, but the suffocating dread seems to follow Kat into her waking life, suffusing the entire movie—an exercise in sustained unease that recalls everything from Suspiria to The Shining—with the atmosphere of a nightmare that never ends. Snyder’s coup de gras: a stylishly disturbing credits sequence that sets an end-of-the-world montage to the apocalyptic folk of Johnny Cash’s “When The Man Comes Around.” On a whole, Snyder’s Dawn is no patch on George Romero’s. Those are some of my favorite movies, folks, but I admit their openings pale in comparison to "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead".

All she wanted was a relaxing skinny dip on a nice summer night, and maybe to get laid by the drunk hippy she makes eyes with across the beach bonfire. But a tight budget primarily limited Day Of The Dead to one sparsely decorated underground bunker. Attempts at imitating the first-person with a camera are often awkward, but Halloween’s unbroken handheld shot is amazingly fluid. The controversial scene from Ken Russell's The Devils. The horror then goes from micro to macro as our traumatized heroine steps out into blinding daylight to discover that her entire neighborhood—and by extension, the entire planet—has gone straight to hell. Bonus points for doubling the carnage, as these movies always do, by chasing the vision of impending catastrophe with the actual one that follows.

Meanwhile, a now-bloody booby trap swings back into view, folding into the ceiling to await its next victim. He chooses one, seemingly at random, and, in the blink of an eye, tiny lines appear across his face. The trash-strewn streets gradually fill with the shambling undead, revealing the full horrifying scope of the plague and making Bowman’s nightmares come to life. All of these elements come together beautifully in Landis’ prologue to the 1983 anthology film Twilight Zone: The Movie, which opens with comedians Albert Brooks and Dan Aykroyd cruising down a dark, winding highway toward some unknown destination, jamming to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Midnight Special” on the car radio.

Steel your nerves and secure your popcorn, because these are The A.V Club’s 25 scariest opening scenes in horror-movie history: Even in his giallo movies, suspense was never really Lucio Fulci’s thing. But it’s clear from the very first scene of this seminal blockbuster that Spielberg was already a master of suggestion: He shows us nothing but the mighty beast’s ominous point of view, but we see everything in our minds—the bloody work being made of Chrissie’s lower half, as she’s thrashed around like a fish on a line, gurgling “It hurts” to no one who can hear her. Great horror can trick its audience into not being able to look away.

The scene culminates in a bloody, brutal hanging death, a clear signal that this particular fairy tale is way more Brothers Grimm than Disney.

Horror buffs will have to wait until next year, when A24 finally releases the film, to feel it burrow under their skin—a process that begins in the opening minutes, with a deeply unnerving dream sequence. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo pulls off the unlikely feat of crafting a worthy sequel to Danny Boyle’s hit zombie reinvention flick, but the reintroduction to this world steals the show. This leads to a discussion of Twilight Zone twist endings, which, of course, leads to a twist ending of its own. Instead, the girl ends up chum, and the unwitting star of the scariest opening scene in all of horror. [A.A.
