20 Best Opening Scenes From Recent Horror Movies
14. V/H/S/Halloween
V/H/S/Halloween was a pretty mixed bag like just most recent entries in the horror anthology series, but its frame narrative definitely got things off to the right start.
"Diet Phantasma" is a video documenting a strange experiment that took place in 1982, where The Octagon Company planned to launch a new soda drink called Diet Phantasma.
Test subjects are brought in to try the drink before sale, and the vibes alone make it clear that something untoward has been put in the beverage.
After the first test subject takes a swig, the electrical equipment in the lab begins to malfunction and the participant suddenly finds themselves bleeding from the eyes.
After a beat the can then manifests tendrils and violently attaches itself to the subject's face, shoving the can into their skull with such force that it eventually kills them.
If nothing else, this was one hell of a bonkers opening kill and easily one of the best in the entire anthology.
