Film Openings - starting from end

We have been looking at many thriller film openings and have stumbled across the idea of an opening from the ending of the film. This is a very effective way of making people want to watch more, as you want to find out what is happening. One we like is the opening to The Butterfly Effect, which shows him running into a room, it sounds as if he is being chased, yet you don't know why he is being chased or why he writes a note assuming his death. This film opening is very cryptic and leaves open questions for the viewers, it grips you in making you want to watch more.

In this video you should watch until 2:09 as that is up to what we saw and analysed
