Sometimes baddies movies are over the top and unreal that we forget that besides hateing them we should also be afriad of them and what they can do......heres a list of my top five most unsettleing baddies in a movie.
(1)Hans Landa :Inglourious Basterds
So Nazies are scarey be the sick fucks in Schinleders list or the melty ones in Raiders of the lost ark...nazies buy a fashion are ment to be scarey. Hans Landa is the most scarey nazie ever...and why you might ask?
Cause he so fucking likable. You drop your defences and thats when your fucked. Be it asking for a glass of milk on minute to gunning down a family of jews under his feet the next the guy can switch just like that. You are totally disarmed buy his charm and quirkyness that you are in state of shock when he ressorts to acts of violance. He savagely strangles Bridget von Hammersmark after flirting with her over the course of the movie. Cold ,cruel and charming the Jew hunter is indeed the worst the nazies have to offer.
(2)Frank: Once upon a time in the West
Okay so the movie opens with a whole family getting slaughtered buy trenchcoat wearing figures...all bar a small child are killed. One of the baddies turns to their leader and says his name "Frank" to which Frank replys "You used my name!" and blows the small boy away. The camera pans up and low and behold its Henry Fonda. Up till now the man only ever played nice guys which sucks really cause hes one cold motherfucker in this. Be it killing women or children or tortureing his crippled boss he is mister Iceman.
No emotion and an ever so slow walk like a spider closing in on prey stuck to its web the guy oozes chilling underplayed menace and that my friends is what gets him onto this list.
(3)Chris Cleek :The Woman
Right so despite the fact the woman in question is a feral cannibalistic she bitch from hell shes infact the (anti)hero of this flick.Which begs the question what sthe fucking badguy like.Well let me tell you! Chris Cleek is one scarey motherfucker. Beats his wife but considers hes the best husband in the world. Rapes and tortures the wild woman in th celler buts as he says its to civilize her. Has one daughter locked up with dogs and blinded, turned his son into a sick fuck as much as he is and may have impregnated his eldest daughter but hay hes sure hes father of the year.....Did I mention he feeds a young teacher to his blind dogchild and german shepards what a swell guy. The Guy really thinks hes every right to treat women like fucking meat. He is a savagely misogynistic ranting to Peggy (his eldest daughter) that all women a stupied useless c**ts and seems to really beleaf that a womans life is forefit. Sean Bridgers who im a big fan of from Deadwood really made this deeply depraved role all his own and reminds us that horror movie monsters dont just have to be the guy waveing an axe but also the guy just mowing the lawn!
(4)T-1000:Terminator 2
Laugh all you want but I had to put him((it)) in here. In the first movie arnies all smash,bash,crash. You knew what he was going to do and most of the times you knew how he was going to do it. But with the T-1000 it was a different kettle of fish. If Arnies a tank then the 1000 was a stealth bomber. He was sleek and fast and you never really knew whated hed do. He stealthly kills John Conners foster folks buy pretending to be the mom and then implaes the dad..milk carton and all while chating to john in order to get him home. When he stalks John,Sarah and theT-101 through the hospital he does it slowly like an eel or shark hunting its prey....he only kicks into overdrive when he gets a flaking from arnie. Even when Sarah comes close but no ice-cream to killing him he waggles his finger showing a sick sense of humour that no machine should have yet hes so fiendish he just does.
Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford: The Killer Inside Me
Soft spoken and slightly dim is one hell of a cover if your one sick peice of shit. Thats what Lou Fords got down to a tee and that how he gets away with so much carnage. He trys to frame a hooker for the murder of the mayors son and only failed cause he didnt beat her enough to kill her. When his own wife gives him shit he beats her and frames and shoots the town bum who was blackmailing him. He kills all round him and is so cocky that even when his plans turn to shit he dosent seem to break a sweat or even confronted buy the ones who love him show any sort of remorse for his actions. But then agien at the end of the day Lou Ford is jut one mean killing machine
So there you have it. You dont need a cloak, an axe or even an army of henchmen to be a scary badguy....all you need is for people not to notice you until its too late!
