Sometimes you just need that one antagonist who makes your blood boil every time he shows up on screen.
For me it’s Reverend Harry Powell from “Night of the Hunter”. I really don’t think I’ve ever hated a fictional character this much before. He’s not on the same scale as some other vile antagonists who appear in movies, but that’s part of why he’s so much more hateable to me. He’s a villain that is so deeply ingrained in our society that it’s scary. An abusive alcoholic monster who terrorized his children on a daily basis, and also a misogynistic prick who murders women and steals their money so he can continue spreading his bullshit preachings. Even worse is how long it takes for him to finally get what’s coming to him.
The weirdest let is that I hate almost all black and white films except for Night of the Hunter, even though the movie makes me feel like shit. I guess it’s just something about watching Harry Powell again so I can punch a hole in the nearest wall.
List any villains you hate in the comments.
