10 Best Horror Movie Characters Who Appear In Only One Scene
5. Vincent Grey - The Sixth Sense
If you want to talk about movie characters who had the biggest impact on the plot despite having the littlest amount of screen time, then you'd better mention Donnie Wahlberg's Vincent Grey. This troubled young man set the whole of Sixth Sense into motion; without him, there would be no film and no "I see dead people".
Vincent appears in the opening and gets the horror ball rolling immediately. He invades the house of his former psychologist (and the lead character), Malcolm Crowe, and painfully sobs, claiming that he'd failed him. Then, he takes out a gun, shoots Crowe and then himself.
Well, that's it, then? Movie over? Of course, every horror nut has seen M. Night Shyamalan's classic supernatural flick and knows that this is only the beginning of the story. It's common knowledge that Malcolm didn't survive this attack, as this gunshot truly was fatal.
Overall, despite only showing up in one scene, this character gave Donnie Wahlberg a great platform to boost his career and set in motion one of the biggest plot twists in movie history. Not a bad day on set, that's for sure.
