10 Insane Recent Horror Movie Moments Nobody Saw Coming
4. Early Ghostface Reveal - Scream VI
Every Scream movie has its famous opening sequence where a big actor is killed by Ghostface before we cut to the title. The fifth entry subverted this by having Jenna Ortega's Tara survive her attack and so to top that, Scream VI gives fans one of the best prologues in the franchise.
At first, it seems like your standard fare as Laura Crane is murdered by her attacker in an NYC alleyway but then the film decides to go on. The masked man then proceeds to remove his costume, revealing new character Jason Carvey as we get an extended sequence of his civilian life after a night of carnage. It's a bold move for the long-running franchise as the Ghostface reveal is always saved for the 3rd act.
Things escalate further when Jason gets a call from another killer and in an homage to Friday the 13th Part II, he finds his partner's head inside the refrigerator before he is killed by the main Ghostface of the movie. As he delivers the killing blow, the slasher says 'Who gives a f*ck about movies?' as he kills Jason and we cut to the title.
