Scariest opening sequence?

[avenger00soul]

What is the scariest opening sequence of a movie ever? I'm talking like first 10 minutes. I'm still going with When a Stranger Calls.

[Je Suis Phnomne]

Not Horror but certainly HORRIFYING, the opening sequence to Saving Private Ryan..... beach scene.

[Je Suis Phnomne]

Opening to Dee Synders Strangeland.... scarey cuz on any given day it could happen, not likely to meet up face to face with Jason, or Michael...

[avenger00soul]

Good answers man. Dee looked crazy as hell in Strangeland.

[Je Suis Phnomne]

Another movie would be Wrong Turn.... movie really wasnt that great, kinda had that "Hills have eyes, and TCM" feel to it, but the fact that I work like 5 miles from the area where that was placed is a bit eerie.

Hmmmmm come to think of it, I live around alot of places that the horror flicks are filmed lol....

Mothman Prophecy
Blair Witch Project
Wrong Turn
Night of the living dead
and a boat load of X-files lol

hmmmmmm no wonder real estate is getting cheaper. :D

[LegionFilms]

I live then opening "bird's eye" camera work with the trademark Kubrick music in "The Shining".

[abbycomix]

Suspiria, but I can't remember if the kill took place in the first 10 minutes.

The only part of that film that I liked.

that cannibal one was alright "wrong turn"?
scream 1....well, before it got old, and seen 100 times...

[cheebacheeba]

and I've gotta admit, Resident Evil (first 15 mins...) had the first couple of scenes down....music was pretty well done too.
AND....the prophecy.

[ds_spoon]

im not sure about scariest but i liked the scream first kill scene and dog soldiers was good.

The Scream beginning completely ripped off When a Stranger Calls.

I never did really figure out if they were eating them or not. But yeah that was the movie, Ive driven by that road, lol but havent had a need to head out there, might when I get a day off. let ya guys know how it turns out. hmmmmmm if I make it lol.

[VampRocker]

I thought "Wrong Turn" was pretty good...

Anywho, I can't really think of any movie that scared me in the first ten minutes...yeah...I suck...

[Arioch]

scream 1 DID have a great opening scene. so did DOG SOILDERS lol, that was killer in the tent lol.

[bloodygurl02]

the ring had a good opening scene or at least i thought it did

[Elvis_Christ]

I'd definatley have to agree with When A Stranger Calls. The opening and climax of this film put the shits up me everytime.
.....and as mentioned before Suspiria (made me feel REAL fucked up when I first saw it).

[Angra]

"Darkness Falls"


Rest of the movie sucked though. :mad:

[Elvis_Christ]

That was a really errie opening. It is a average film but I still liked it.

[filmmaker2]

"Vampire Hunters" has a nice opening scene. Perhaps not the scariest ever, but the introduction of the vampire character is pretty intimidating.

[christy]

The Haunted.. I saw that movie when I was a kid and it totally freaked me out. I didn't watch it again...

[bloodrayne]

When A Stranger Calls was the first thing I thought of...


But Dog Soldiers started out really cool, too


I can't really think of anything recent....I think Saw started out okay...

[Haunted]

NOTLD

[SKOOFx]

black christmas had a kool opening scene.

Wich one?

[orangestar]

They're kinda "mainstream" but Scream 1 and The Ring's opening scenes scared me the first time I saw them, and they still scare me now.


NOTLD is another notable one. But that whole movie is just amazing, so its hard to pick one scene.

[ItsAlive75]

Sleepy Hollow had a pretty creepy opening scene, it had that "live theatre" feel to it, but it was still creepy.

But if we're going all out "most badass", then From Dusk til Dawn.

[Haunted]

You're right about from Dusk til Dawn. The opening sequence is righteous (to use a term from the eighties). The crazy counter dude was a cool character with the fact that it was about three minutes of great acting while acting. He didn't go down easily either. That was cool.

[The STE]

Persona's opening was really unnerving

[crazy raplh]

pieces and sielent night deadly night

[nobudgetluver]

Halloween's opening is bad ass.

[filmmaker2]

I agree that Halloween's opening is badass. In fact I'm gonna watch it right now just for the heck of it!

[crazy raplh]

creepers is good as well
