Leigh Whannell's cult action-horror flick is full of hilariously grisly death scenes, but none are quite as chest-thumpingly awesome as the initial show of force once Grey (Logan Marshall-Green) allows his bionic implant STEM to help defend him from an attacker.

The assailant gets the edge on Grey until Grey reluctantly grants STEM permission to take over his body, launching an ultra-efficient assault on the goon which concludes with him taking a knife and stabbing it across the man's mouth, splitting his jaw open and killing him instantly.

Of course one of the co-creators of Saw would come up with something this twisted, and thanks to the incredible build-up and realistically gnarly gore effects, this was one of 2018's quintessential "Oh s***!" moments.
