20 Best Opening Scenes From Recent Horror Movies

16. Bone Lake

Dangerous Animals

Bone Lake is surely the horniest horror movie of the year, but it also gets its horniest, most brutal content out of the way in its first two minutes - think of it as a litmus test for whether you'll enjoy the film or not.

The film opens on a nude couple, Brett (Clayton Spencer) and Lisa (Eliane Reis), running through the woods and desperately trying to escape an unseen killer.

Brett eventually decides that he's more likely to survive on his own and runs off ahead, only to be shot in the back with an arrow.

A distracted Lisa then trips and falls onto a sharp branch, impaling her, before a wounded Brett is shot through the testicles with another arrow, and Lisa is finally finished off with one final arrow.

We all want new horror films to show us something we haven't seen before, and an ultra close-up shot of an arrow piercing someone's knackers definitely qualifies.
