10. Audition
This is one of the weirder moments on this list and comes from the Japanese classic, Audition. Through the first half of the movie, it seems to just be a strange film about a man trying to find true love, and then the bag scene happens. The scene is framed perfectly as a bag is randomly set in the back of the room throughout the scene. However, once the phone in the room rings, the large bag suddenly flies across the room while making a strange, guttural, almost human-like noise. It is not until later in the film that we realize that the bag actually contained a man who has numerous body parts removed.
