10 Horror Movie Openings That Get Worse The More You Think About It

10. Final Destination

Even those not au fait with horror know the basic premise of the Final Destination series.

Someone has a premonition that leads them to avoid death, only for the reaper to stalk them and their fellow survivors until they're all taken out in increasingly gruesome fashion.

It's a solid formula that has generated five movies of good to moderate quality. Even if you know what's coming though, it doesn't make watching the openings of these films any easier.

Take the first one from 2000. Alex Browning's vision might save his fellow students from the plane explosion, but in reality, all he's done is set them up for a much gristlier end. Hung by fishing wire, run over by a bus, head chopped in half. None of these sound very pleasant and might actually be worse than a plane crash.

Knowing what's in store for the survivors makes watching the opening to Final Destination so much harder, but the hardest thing of all is knowing that death actually has every right to claim these souls.

It's a natural process and all this movie is doing is righting a wrong. Only in exceptionally bloody fashion.
