10 Terrible Movies With One Incredible Scene

10. The Opening Mass Suicide - The Happening

M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening is a textbook example of a filmmaker squandering a terrific concept on shoddy execution.

The premise, of a mysterious disaster sweeping the world in which people commit mass suicide, had so, so much potential, yet Shyamalan got a little too high off his own supply in this case and the result was an often unintentionally hilarious misfire led by an outrageously miscast Mark Wahlberg.

But The Happening at least kicks off in ultra-compelling fashion, wasting no time at all letting loose with its gonzo premise.

The first scene in the movie captures the onset of the suicidal pandemic of-sorts, where in Central Park a woman calmly stabs a hairpin through her neck, before a group of construction workers throw themselves off the roof of a building they're working on.

The visual of the construction workers sailing calmly off the roof and slamming into the ground is genuinely haunting, horrifying stuff, and sets up a far more intense, unsettling movie than the laughable farce we ultimately ended up with.
