10 Amazing Death Scenes Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies
GAAAARBAGE DAY.
A horror movie, like a comedy, is a very - VERY - easy thing to screw up. All someone has to say to articulate why they didn't like your horror movie, after all, is "that wasn't scary".
But even when a horror movie fails at its every ambition, it doesn't mean that that ambition can't birth some really fun moments. Like, for example, great, creative death scenes.
It's almost a shame when you see a truly great death scene that you'd never seen anywhere else wasted in a horror movie that simply does not measure up. Whether because it's creative, unique, or just plain gory, the only criteria for this list is that it has to be the highlight of an otherwise really bad movie.
10. The Bus Massacre - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
The latest instalment in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is an absolute nonsense movie, but boy does it have some inventive kills.
That's partly thanks to this version of Leatherface being a total monster, somehow entering his serial killer prime at 70 years old. He'll snap a man's arm and then skewer him in the neck with the dislodged bone without breaking a sweat and it is, admittedly, pretty sick.
Perhaps the MVP of this terrible movie's annoyingly good kill ideas, though, is the massacre on the party bus. Here, a bunch of insufferable, poorly-written millennials party under bright blue neon lights - that is, until Leatherface gets on board, chainsaw in tow.
In the tight, narrow lane of the bus there's nowhere for people to run or hide. Consequently, tens of victims are ripped apart, limbs flying everywhere, intestines strewn across the seats. It's chaotic and devilishly fun - and it doesn't take long for the once-blue bus to become a hazy shade of crimson.
