10 More Horror Movie Openings NOBODY Saw Coming

10. Cube Zero

Even though Cube had quite a few grisly deaths, Cube Zero proves to be far gorier within the first few minutes. Similar to the original, this prequel starts with a prisoner called Ryjkin waking up inside a boobytrapped labyrinth.

After making his way into another room, Ryjkin is sprayed by mechanical hoses, drenching his entire body. Although he screams at first, the prisoner quickly realises he's not in any pain, indicating the liquid he was sprayed with is harmless.

Or so it seems. Looking at his hands, Ryjkin notices his skin has taken on an unnaturally bulbous texture. Trying to scratch it off, Ryjkin only manages to peel the skin off his hand.

As Ryjkin's face begins to melt and blood spews from his trousers, it becomes clear the liquid is disintegrating him on a cellular level. In his hysteria, the Ryjkin pulls the skin on his cheek, ripping off his entire face. Before his body is reduced to a bloody heap of slop, Ryjkin lets out one final bloodcurdling scream.

The rest of Cube Zero may be a mess, but this gross-out sequence won't be forgotten any time soon.
