10 More Horror Movies That Cleverly START With Huge Twists
10. Feast
You've gotta hand it to any horror movie that throws convention to the wind in its opening moments, and that's certainly true of 2005's cult classic Feast.
In one of the film's opening scenes, a man (Eric Dane) covered in blood bursts into a bar, before a title card swiftly introduces him merely as "Hero," cites his occupation as "kicking ass" and his life expectancy as "pretty f**king good."
Hero warns the patrons of the bar to do exactly what he says if they want to survive, and when they ignore him, he pulls out the severed head of a monstrous creature to make his point clearer.
As Hero starts commanding the bar's now-listening customers to start barricading the joint, they ask who he is, and he simply retorts in gruffly badass fashion, "I'm the guy that's gonna save your ass."
No more than a second later, however, the window behind him is smashed by one of the creatures, which grabs hold of the Hero and promptly decapitates him. Now that's a way to start a horror movie.
