M

• M3GAN:
  • Celia. She is an annoying neighbor who had zero empathy toward Cady, a child, when her vicious dog mauled her arm.
  • Brandon. He swears at his mother, bullies Cady, steals M3GAN, and was intending to do something heinous to the doll too. Not even the police officer (who later interrogates Gemma) seemed serious about Brandon's death.
• Ma: Ben and Mercedes bullied Sue Ann back in high school by making her perform a blowjob on a total stranger. Unrepentant even years later, Ben threatens Sue Ann and additionally reminds her that she was a loser. As such, both receive little sympathy when Sue Ann murders them.
• Mad Dog Morgan: Superintendant Cobham, a Corrupt Politician who is introduced commending a judge for deliberately imposing harsh sentences to exploit their labour, strangles a guy who knew nothing of Morgan's whereabouts, and orders Morgan's corpse mutilated at the end of the film.
• Mad Max:
  • Mad Max: The Toecutter is the leader of a murderous biker gang. When one of his men is killed in a car chase with Max, he leads said gang on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. As they hunt Max down, they rape and murder various people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. After they find Max, they run down his wife and young son.
    • Johnny the Boy and Bubba Zanetti, also. Polar opposites in behavior as Johnny gleefully torments his victims, Jim Goose in particular (though it is at Toecutter's urgung that he burns him), Bubba does so without emotion at all, like when he toys with Max, even after Toecutter implores Bubba to kill him already, to his own demise.
  • Mad Max: Fury Road:
    • Immortan Joe is a post-apocalyptic cult leader who hoards water at the expense of his people. He brainwashes the men in his thrall to fight and die for him while keeping the women as sex slaves. When several of these women escape his clutches, Joe leads a war party to hunt them down. He eventually manages to catch his prey but has grown so frustrated with the hunt that he decides to kill them all.
    • The People Eater, who's nothing but a disgusting fat slob who's so morbidly obese he can't get into his own War Rig without assistance, doesn't even drive his own War Rig but leaves it up to one of his random mooks to chaffeur him around, and swerves to run over the Valkyrie when she wasn't even attacking him, laughing all the while. It's very satisfying to watch when Max hijacks his War Rig, effortlessly knocks him out with a single weak punch and then uses him as a bullet sponge size XXL.
• Madhouse (1974): Elizabeth Peters' foster parents literally only talk about how they lined Elizabeth to be a famous actress and make them rich. When she's murdered decide to blackmail Paul Toombs, who they think killed her, showing they never cared abut her at all.
• Mandalay: Tony is a lowlife involved in gun trafficking who sells his girlfriend into sex slavery to pay a debt without batting an eye. He even has the gal to hunt her down so she can keep being a prostitute, it's just that this time the brothel would be his. When Tanya poisons him, he becomes an Asshole Victim whom nobody pities.
• Mandy (2018): Far from the "righteous man whose heart was full of love" he proclaims himself to be, Jeremiah Sand is a megalomaniac who believes that God granted him the right to take whatever he thinks he's entitled to. He treats his own followers like dirt, being willing to dispose of them when he sees the need and using the women for sexual gratification whether they're fully compliant or not. He hides behind the Black Skulls gang to do his dirty work for him and is more than happy to torment Red by having Mandy killed in front of him before leaving him to die.
• Marriage Story: Jay is never shown to be anything other than a short-tempered and hard-nosed Amoral Attorney whose services bleed Charlie financially dry.
• The Martian has a subversion in the form of NASA Director Teddy Sanders. He's exactly the sort of jaded, cynical administrator figure one commonly finds in this role, seems to care more about NASA's budget and reputation than returning Watley to Earth at times, and the film's most catastrophic mistake, the rushing of the supply pod through inspection, leading to its disintegration on takeoff, is on him. Ultimately, however, Sanders never acts with malice toward anyone and wants Watley back on Earth just as much as his more idealistic subordinates do (the reason he did said pushing was because even on a best-case scenario Watney had a very limited amount of time for the supplies to reach him before he starved to death and even with all the rushing they were gonna cut it pretty close), and accordingly gets a happy ending.
• Mary Poppins Returns: William Weatherall Wilkins is the Chairman of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank who takes advantage of London's slump to repossess at least 19 homes and now sets his sights on doing so for the Banks home too. Wilkins has no compulsion about doing so despite likely putting multiple families out on the street purely for profit. He's extremely unrepentant about it to the point that his own uncle fires him at the end of the movie. Even after he is let go, he does not leave without yelling at his uncle for being "off [his] crumpet."
• Magadheera: Ranadeev Billa is the evil cousin of Princess Devi and an usurping, double-crossing, cheating scumbag who rightfully earns the hate of the entire kingdom. Wanting the throne for and the princess for himself, Ranadeev forces Princess Devi to accept him at knifepoint, and then attempts to have the heroic warrior Kala Bhairava killed in a chariot race after Bhairava caught Ranadeev red-handed. After being expelled by the king, Ranadeev defects to the neighbouring Shere Khan empire and leads an army of invaders to massacre the palace and personally kill King Vikram before trying to have Princess Devi and Kala Bhairava killed as well. Even Ranadeev's new boss, the Shere Khan Emperor, thinks he's a piece of filth for dishonoring the promise they established that they will rightfully retreat if Kala Bhairava proves himself to be a worthy hero.
• Masked Avengers: Lin Yung Chi originally seems like a mere rich Jerkass who refuses to help the heroes out of laziness. As it turns out he's secretly the leader of the Masked Gang, whom he sends to kill people For the Evulz. He soon after starts picking off the heroes in incredibly painful ways, slaughtering the majority in his Booby Trap-filled lair. Lin even disgusts his former Number Two, who left the organization after he ordered a woman gang-raped.
• Men in Black: Edgar, the guy the Bug kills and starts impersonating will, suffice it to say, not be missed. In his possible <60 seconds of screen time he establishes himself as a capricious, abusive jackass with strong misogynistic traits. Good riddance.
• The Menu: Tyler Ledford is the insanely obsessive fanboy to Chef Julian Slowik. Wanting to avoid his invitation to a prestigious and special dinner Slowik is holding being revoked due to his relationship with his girlfriend ending, Tyler hires an escort named Erin to pretend to be his new girlfriend "Margot Mills" just so he can still attend—while not telling her that Slowik let him know everyone would be killed by the end of the night. Tyler constantly berates Margot for not appreciating the meals, treats the deaths of those around him with complete and total apathy and only worries about what Slowik thinks of him. Eventually Slowik himself humiliates and berates Tyler for his awful behavior—and when he is Driven to Suicide as a result, he's not missed.
• Mercenaries from Hong Kong: Madam He Ying is introduced as the wealthy heiress and only child of a recently-deceased tycoon, who hired the titular mercenary team to investigate her father's death. But she is later revealed to have organized her father's assassination herself, and is using the mercenaries to kill off her potential competitors before betraying them and having them killed one at a time. She manipulates Sing, The Lancer, into turning on his Fire-Forged Friends and orders her henchmen to kill off everyone who knows the truth behind her real identity, including the Delicate and Sickly daughter of Sergeant Lei, proving herself to be as ruthless and as cruel as she is manipulative. Protagonist Luo Li outright called her "the sickest bitch he ever laid eyes upon" before giving He Ying her well-deserved Karmic Death, via rocket launcher fired at her getaway vehicle.
• The Mermaid revolves around a property tycoon, Liu Xuan who is oblivious that his land reclamation project is harming a community of merpeople under the sea, until he had a Heel Realization after falling in love with Shan, the titular mermaid. Liu's partner and second-in-command, Ruolan, is another matter, for she is actually aware of the fact that mermaids do exist, that the project is genuinely driving the merpeople to extinction, but she cares solely about profit to the point where she turns on Liu the moment he decide to pull the project's plug, ordering her private army flush the mermaids out of their homes with sonar technology before hunting down and killing every single one of them. She personally targets Shan for getting in her way, and when Liu allows himself to be hit by harpoons fired by Ruolan in an attempt to save Shan, Ruolan instead tries to kill them both on the spot.
• Mexican Werewolf In Texas: Anna's parents Brad and Carol are real pieces of work. Part of the founding family of Furlough, they're more concerned about their status, and their disdain of Hispanics in their town, than they are about the chupacabra attacks in their town. Carol is constantly heckling Brad about their lack of wealth, despite them being well off all things considered; Brad takes advantage of the chupacabra attacks for his plan to kill Anna's boyfriend Miguel, simply because he's Mexican-American. They two also half-ass their empathy towards Brad's traumatized uncle when his son is killed by the chupacabra, with Carol making it a matter of inheritance. This makes Brad getting shot by Miguel (at Anna's encouragement no less) and being mauled by the chupacabra all the more amusing to watch.
• Middle School The Worst Years Of My Life: Principal Kenneth "Ken" Dwight falls into this trope hard, being a far cry from his strict but fair novel counterpart. He takes great joy in destroying students' personal property and creating a bunch of dumb rules that don't even matter in regular schools. Like the dress code, respecting the principal, no form of creativity whatsoever. Plus he's proven several times to be a selfish jerk who cares about his school more than the students, and framed an innocent class for the vandals in the school, and suspended them even after Rafe confessed what he did. Plus he rigged the B.L.A.A.R. quiz just so his school could be #1. One has to wonder how this man qualified to become principal in the first place.
• Midsommar: Christian Hughes is the emotionally distant boyfriend of Dani Ardor who is convinced by his friends Mark and Josh to end the relationship before attending a festival in Sweden. Christian continually pushes Dani to the side from forgetting her birthday to ultimately cheating on her with one of the Harga women, and he even steals Josh's thesis intending on making it his own. Mark is a misogynistic, xenophobic manchild who establishes his unlikability by urinating on an ancestral tree and dismissing it as being insensitive to the Harga culture. Josh is warned to refrain from taking pictures of the Harga's sacred texts but does so anyway in response to Christian stealing the aforementioned thesis. All three men deeply influenced Dani's mental health and life and are given little sympathy when they are sacrificed in the grand festival held every 90 years.
• Money Train: Chief Donald Patterson is the Control Freak Knight Templar head of the Transit Police who shows no compunctions whatsoever about letting an unarmed pickpocket be gunned down just for getting too close to the city's revenue train and sending it through the tunnel while his cops John and Charlie Robinson are in there just because "nothing stops the money train". The ill-tempered Patterson is also clearly racist as he refers to John as a "negro" and also uses an offensive accent while addressing newbie Grace Santiago too—and ends up firing Charlie for refusing to grovel to him for help and then John for standing up for him too. When the money train is eventually taken over in the climax and is speeding out of control, Patterson allows for the 1220 Coney Island passenger train to be used to try to derail the money train, nearly killing numerous innocent people and coldly declaring it's something he'll "live with".
• Moonlight (2016): In a movie full of complex characters who operate on White-and-Grey Morality, Terrel is probably the only outright evil or sadistic one.
• Monster Trucks (2016): Reece Tenneson and Burke are an oil baron and aggressive mercenary respectively. Tenneson puts lives in danger when the oil rig breaks down in the land that he is drilling in and ignores advice from Jim Dowd about Creech and his family being sentient and plans to poison their water instead to keep drilling. Burke constantly threatens teenager Trip Coley on Tenneson's behalf too and then Burke also harshly forces Trip and Creech off a cliff to possible doom.
• mother! (2017):
  • Him is a self-absorbed poet who allows humanity to trash His house, making him indirectly responsible for all of the atrocities they commit in the film, and inadvertently causes the death of His son when the hordes accidentally kill and eat him. Even when He saves mother from being beaten, He tries to convince her to forgive the crowd and later rips her heart out to start the cycle anew.
  • In an overly environmental film, humanity proves once again capable of committing horrible acts. Upon becoming fans of Him, they vandalize the house, wage wars over interpretations of his work, massacre crowds, distribute slaves through trading, and grisly eat mother's baby son in an ultimate act of depravity after accidentally killing him.
• Muppet Treasure Island: Captain Bernie Flint is the morally reprehensible pirate who forced his crew of 14 men to carry his enormous treasure for him from the boat to land so as to bury it on the island before he then brutally shot and killed them all for knowing too much. Flint also had their bodies strung up and displayed along the path for his own sadistic amusement and even abandoned his lover Benjamina Gunn on the island to die once he had no more use for her. Once long dead in the present, the aftermath of Flint's horrible crimes are still seen and experienced fully by the other characters, giving them a fair sense of his sick "sense of humor".
• Murder on the Orient Express: Cassetti/Ratchett—Lanfranco/Samuel and John/Edward, in both the 1974 and 2017 film versions respectively, is a repulsive mobster who abducts a little girl named Daisy Armstrong for ransom and then murders her even after getting the ransom. It turns out that Cassetti also continued to exploit her family days or even weeks after he had already killed her too—with him even bleeding dry the families of his other victims too in the same way in at least one of these versions. Cassetti is coldly indifferent to how four innocents who were part of Daisy's family died, from Daisy's mother in childbirth with the baby right after; Daisy's father being Driven to Suicide and an innocent maid falsely accused who also took her own life as well. Cassetti's only concern in the matter is that he escapes any kind of justice for his actions, to the point that when Daisy's other family members successfully take it upon themselves to punish and murder him, even Hercule Poirot deems the best course of action is to let Cassetti's killers go free by claiming his murder was a mob hit instead.
• Mystery Men: Captain Amazing, real name Lance Hunt, is the superhero of Champion City. Unlike the genuinely heroic Mystery Men, however, Amazing is only in it for the fame and the money and has no respect for his fans or other superheroes. Amazing crosses the line when, in an attempt to keep his sponsors from pulling their endorsements due to his fights being boring without supervillains, he tricks the insane asylum staff in releasing his nemesis, Casanova Frankenstein, counting on Casanova to wreak havoc. After Casanova blows up the asylum, Amazing arrives to apprehend him (showing no concern for all the inmates, guards, and asylum staff who are all dead because of him), but is captured by Casanova instead, and fails to convince Casanova to release him despite promising to help with the evil plan. Considering he spends his final moments yelling at and insulting the Mystery Men, you will probably cheer at his accidental death by psycho-fraculation.

N

• Ned Kelly (1970): Fitzpatrick, an Irishman who joined the English police despite's their mistreatment of his people, forcibly kisses Ned's sister-in-law, and frames Ma Kelly for an injury he got by accident.
• Night Of The Demons: The unnamed old man despises both kids and teenagers, actively disparages people who help him, and plants razorblades in the apples he hands out.
• Nightbreed: Captain Eigerman is a racist, fascist, homophobic, Rabid Cop. He orders an assault on Midian — including the children — verbally abuses and threatens Reverend Ashberry for calling him out on his genocide, beats up Boone in his cell, and even starts trying to shoot at the "sons of the free" as they try to flee.
• A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): Prior to the Villain Decay he underwent in the sequels, Wes Craven intended Freddy Krueger to be a dreadful, irredeemable monster of the lowest order. Implied to have been a child rapist in addition to a murderer, he claimed over 20 young victims in life. To further make him stand out from other iconic slasher villains, he revels in bullying his victims in whatever way he can, tormenting them with the images of their dead friends.
• Nocturnal Animals: Ray and his gang are a bunch of sadistic bullies who terrorizes the Hastings ina drawn-out way for fun before raping and killing the wife and daughter. It represents all that Susan is in Edward's eyes now.
• Nope: Ryder Muybridge is an absolutely obnoxious Paparazzi reporter with no redeeming qualities or common sense to speak of.
• No Strings Attached: Vanessa is Adam Franklin’s ex girlfriend, whom leaves him for his own father, Alvin, straining the relationship of the latter two. Vanessa tries to ingratiate herself with Alvin by planning to have a child with him, an action which provokes Emma Kurtzman into calling her out for her past and current treatment of Adam. When Alvin overdoses on cough syrup, an action for which Vanessa is responsible, albeit unintentionally, she leaves Adam with her dog while she ditches Alvin to go to a party, refusing to take responsibility for her actions. Hedonistic, materialistic and self centred, Vanessa proves herself to be a thoroughly terrible person, despite being a relatively tame character in a relatively tame film.

O

• Office Space: Bill Lumbergh is the vice president of Initech and the obnoxious Mean Boss of Peter Gibbons. Not only is Lumbergh utterly incompetent at keeping his employees motivated, but he is also a passive-aggressive bully who makes a habit of routinely abusing Milton Waddams without even bothering to inform him that he was fired years ago. He's also not above petty acts of cruelty, like parking in the handicapped space when Peter takes his reserved parking spot. The constant mistreatment of his employees makes it satisfying to watch him get his comeuppance time and again. Hated by just about all his employees, Bill Lumbergh is the representation of the office bureaucracy that keeps the employees unhappy with their jobs.
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Nurse Ratched exists solely to be an irredeemable sadist to McMurphy and the other patients. Kesey very much wanted the readers to fear and hate her.
• Once Upon a Time in the West: Frank. An utterly despicable Child Hater who has no redeemable or likable traits whatsoever. Years ago, he killed off Harmonica's brother in probably the most sadistic way possible, and now he goes and kills off a farming family, including their youngest son. Then he advances on the widow. He is clearly meant to garner much of the viewers' hatred and revulsion as possible.

P

• Pan's Labyrinth has Captain Vidal, who is far scarier and eviler than any of the monsters in the Labyrinth. He first shows his nastiness when two poachers, a father and son, are brought to him in the dead of night, his men suspecting them of being rebels against the regime. He beats the younger man's face in with a bottle simply for defending his father against Vidal's accusations before shooting them both with a vague air of boredom and pleasure. When the men are proven not to be rebels, Vidal is regretful, but only because it means his men wasted his time and weren't careful enough. Vidal is married to the young heroine's mother solely so she'll bear him an heir, and shows no concern over the possible death of his wife in childbirth. When the doctor attending her gives the aforementioned stuttering torture victim a mercy kill, Vidal coldly guns him down. At the film's end, Vidal's stepdaughter Ofelia tries to rescue her baby brother, but Vidal catches her and promptly shoots her fatally.
• Paparazzi reads like some Hollywood actor's revenge fantasy, where the main character basically spends the latter half of the film committing numerous acts of vigilante murder against the paparazzi who crippled his wife and put his son in a coma in an accident. The only reason this is even remotely acceptable is because the film depicts all paparazzo as cackling supervillains who take perverse joy in ruining people's lives, to the point that even the police are secretly rooting for the killer.
• Peeping Tom: Dr. Lewis, Mark's father, grew fascinated by terror and elected to traumatize children and film it to study their fear response, including his own son.
• Perfect Assassins: Dr. Samuel Greely is a Psycho Psychologist who seeks to perfect the conditioning of humans. To achieve this, he kidnaps children and locks them in a cage where they have to shock themselves to get food. The only human interaction allowed to Training from Hell that involves vicious beatings by grown men, which Greely laughs at as he watches. He then sends the kids on assassination missions where they kill themselves if they succeed. If they fail, he sticks them back in their box to stew in their trauma.
• The Phantom of the Opera (1962):
  • Lord Ambrose D'Arcy is a totally despicable Jerkass who is nasty to everyone around him. He's also a letch, only intending to give Christine the leading role in "his" opera if she agrees to sleep with him, and dismissing her when she refuses to do so. Finding out that the aforementioned opera D'Arcy's getting all the glory for supposedly writing was in fact stolen from a struggling unknown composer (the future Phantom) just makes him all the more worthy of the audience's hatred.
  • There's also the dwarf, whose sole purpose for being written into this particular adaptation of the story was to perform all the murders so the Phantom's own hands would be clean, and thus the latter would be seen as more sympathetic than his counterparts in other versions.
• Phenomena: The headmistress, a cruel taskmaster who allows Jennifer to be bullied by the other girls and eventually tries to lock her in a mental institution when she tries to talk about her bug communication powers.
• Pirates of the Caribbean:
  • Lord Cutler Beckett, the Big Bad of the original trilogy. In a series starring pirates as Villain Protagonists, where the leads constantly backstab each other to further their conflicting agendas, and even initially heroic people like Will, Elizabeth and Norrington become more morally gray over time, Beckett still manages to stick out as one of the most despicable individuals in the franchise. Not only does he lack any of the cool, redeeming, supernatural or sympathetic qualities that make characters like Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, and Davy Jones fun to watch, Beckett is portrayed as nothing more than a smug, sociopathic aristocrat, even as he pursues an ostensibly admirable goal: the elimination of piracy. Yet, unlike Captain Salazar who's a genuine Knight Templar, Beckett doesn't discriminate in murdering thousands of people—whether guilty or innocent—and it's all done for the banal goal of keeping his business profitable.
  • Ian Mercer is Beckett's chief enforcer and fully endorses and has taken part in his attrocities for years—including vicious tortures, mass murders and forcing Jack into his life of piracy to begin with. Mercer helps Beckett to force Governor Weatherby Swann to work with the East India Trading Company and then helps murder Swann afterward for learning too much. He later is the one who helps put Davy Jones on a leash while threatening the destruction of his heart if Jones does not continue to give Beckett his full support.
  • Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, the Big Bad of fourth film, who went as far as attempting to sacrifice his own daughter Angelica to save his skin. He's also tortured and murdered many—be it his own crew or not—for his own bloodlust too. Blackbeard also has a cruel moment of forcing the mermaid Syrena to witness Philip Swift's apparent murder so he can get one of her tears of joy—callously revealing they're the far more potent version anyway.
  • Big Bad Capitan Armando Salazar from the fifth film is a deranged Knight Templar who hearlessly slayed pirates or the like across the sea for years and even had surendering ones murdered as a means of outright refusing mercy. When cursed to the Devil's Triangle as an undead by Jack, Salazar when freed rages across the seas destoying any ships in his way to get to either Jack for revenge or to the Triton of Poseidon to undo his curse—while possessing Henry Turner as a shield at one point too. When the curse is undone with the destruction of the Triton, Salazar prefers to continue his vendetta against Jack in favor of saving or protecting the lives of his own men from the collapsing waves.
  • Lt. Gillette from the first film is a Jerkass Inspector Javert who lacks Norrington’s more noble traits. His constant smugness and condescending mannerism make him very insufferable. Even worse than Gillette is Lt. Scarfield, from the fifth film. Scarfield possesses no redeeming qualities whatsoever and is an incredibly Bad Boss, in stark contrast to previous British officers, who were each a Benevolent Boss to some degree.
• Pitch Perfect: Fat Amy's corrupt father Fergus from the third film is the only antagonist in the series with no redeeming qualities, or anything to make up for his scummyness. He is a crime boss who Amy separated herself from before the joined the Bellas and tracks her down claiming to want to reconnect with her. It's soon discovered he's after a trust fund of hers worth millions, and aggressive with her when she finally cuts him out of her life. Fergus then goes on to kidnap the Bellas and threatens to have them killed unless Amy turns over her money. The fact he's an otherwise serious character, connected to a comic relief character like Amy, makes for a rather jarring contrast.
• Harvey Baylor in Planet of the Dinosaurs. The protagonists have all crash-landed on a far flung planet inhabited by prehistoric creatures, with no way to contact Earth and little hope of being rescued. Harvey proceeds to whine indiscriminately about how he's the Vice President of Spaceways Incorporated (and therefore their boss) and he can get them all fired, complains about having to do so much walking with no clear endpoint, and repeatedly sexually harasses his secretary. You can't hate the dinosaurs because they're dinosaurs (and barely put in any appearances in the movie anyway), and you can't hate the planet because it's a planet. But BOY can you hate Harvey Baylor! Thankfully he dies about halfway through the movie by being fatally gored by a Centrosaur and tossed off a cliff.
• Poor Things: Alfie Blessington has no redeeming qualities whatsoever: he's abusive to his servants, imprisons Bella in her home, and makes it clear that he plans to subject her to genital mutilation as a further means of controlling her. And unlike Duncan, who's more of a Lovable Rogue, Blessington's scenes are played entirely without comedy — nothing he does is funny, just cruel. As such, no tears are shed when he's Bella's first "experiment" in mind-swapping, and his fate to live with a goat's brain in his body feels justified.
• Pretty Woman: Philip Stuckey is a greedy lawyer who has advised Edward Lewis for ten years on his business acquisitions and made a lot of money off the different companies being deconstructed with Stuckey only caring for how much Edward makes him off of it all. Stuckey finds Edward’s blossoming romance with hooker Vivian Ward to be very threatening and devalues her as nothing more than a prostitute getting too involved, especially when she convinces Edward not to break up one particular company. It’s because of this that he believes he has the right to come onto Vivian and when she eventually fights back, Stuckey maliciously slaps Vivian and then attempts to rape her.
• Prom Night (1980): Lou is the resident bully at Alexander Hamilton High School, who repulses everyone he comes into contact with. Having a Villainous Crush on Kim Hammond, Lou tries to forcibly kiss her during lunch, prompting a fight with her brother Alex and causing him to be suspended indefinitely, with the principal calling him a disgrace to the school and community. Teaming up with Wendy Richards to ruin the prom, Lou proves to be more ruthless than Wendy, beating up Kim's date Nick and taking his place backstage as Prom King, which proves to be a fatal mistake when a Serial Killer mistakes Lou for Nick and decapitates him.
• Promising Young Woman: Among this film's deconstructions, one of which is that of the Nice Guy, especially in compliance to rape culture.
  • Alex Monroe was a popular and beloved med student at Cassie and Nina’s college, so much so that when he raped Nina at a party, with his friends cheering on, the school did nothing about it. While Nina and Cassie’s lives went down a spiral – with Nina killing herself – Alex becomes successful doctor surrounded by friends and family, becoming engaged to a loving fiancé. When a vengeful Cassie confronts Alex, he whines that it wasn't his fault, making excuses, and claiming he was also a victim since for being accused. When he overpowers and kills Cassie, his only concern is how this could ruin his life. Luckily, due to a Thanatos Gambit by Cassie, his crimes are exposed as he’s arrested at his wedding.
  • Ryan Cooper spends much of the movie as Casie's seemingly loving boyfriend, who helps Cassie heal from her trauma. This makes it heartbreaking for Cassie when she discovers Ryan was a witnessed Nina’s rape, laughing as it occurred. When Cassie confronts Ryan, his only concern is what it could mean for his reputation and career as a doctor. Ryan unapologetically tries love-bombing Cassie, demanding she forgive him. When she refuses, Ryan accuses Cassie of being a self-righteous failure. When Cassie goes missing, Ryan lies to police about her being mentally disturbed before attending Alex's wedding. When Al is arrested, it’s implied that Ryan’s involvement will soon be exposed.
  • Joey, a friend of Alex and Ryan's, has none of their seemingly charming qualities, instead being openly skeevy and sexist, with a sick sense of humour that puts even Alex off. He had a hand in Nina’s rape, filming the incident in front of the cheering and jeering of their friends. Attending Alex’s bachelor party, when Alex kills Cassie, Joey coddles Alex by saying it’s not his fault before helping dispose of Cassie’s body in the woods. Despite his claims of friendship and loyalty, when the police arrive at the wedding to arrest Alex, Joey is seen trying to run away, leaving him to deal with the fallout.
• Pulp Fiction: Pawn shop owners Maynard and Zed are presented as one-note sociopathic rapists who delight in the misery of others, especially compared to the layered main characters.
• Puppet Master: Neil Gallagher is a seemingly-deceased psychic researcher who has some of his colleagues contacted to attend his funeral. Their reactions reveal that none of them liked him, compounded by the fact that one of them gets visions of him raping a woman. As it turns out, he had himself resurrected in an immortality scheme, and has set killer puppets on his supposed friends.
• Pursuit: Based on a chapter of The Water Margin, the designated sink is Gao Ye-nei, son of Senator Gao, who is a pervert and Spoiled Brat who believes he’s entitled to have everything. Lusting after the hero Lin-chung’s beautiful wife, he attempts to rape her, and when Lin-chung caught him in the act and demands him to leave, Ya-nei then lies to his father about Lin-chung being disrespectful to the magistrate, causing Lin to be arrested and framed for theft. While Lin-chung suffers multiple rounds of torture from the corrupt officials, Gao Ya-nei continuously tries to force Lin’s wife to accept him, ultimately kidnapping her when she refuses. When Lin-chung finally escapes prison, Gao decide to simply send assassins after him, and attempts to rape Lin’s wife once again until she is Driven to Suicide.

Q

• Jimmy from Q: The Winged Serpent. A money-grubbing, obnoxious coward who doesn't care that innocent people are dying.

R

• The Rage: Carrie 2: Mark Bing and Eric Stark are a pair of jocks leading in a game that involves sleeping around and using girls in their school. When Rachel's friend Lisa commits suicide after Eric uses her in the game, his only concern is that he'd get in trouble for it, and later brags about it; after Lisa's suicide and the cases of statutory rape are brought up to the school, Eric and his friends are are effectively protected with claims that the controversy would ruin their lives. Mark starts a harassment campaign against Rachel to keep her quiet; this culminates in recording Rachel and Jesse trip to his families cabin, as well as Their First Time, which he later plays at a party to humiliate her.
• The Rake (2018): Andrew, Nichole's husband, is shown bit by bit to be an curt prick, with a growing annoyance and disdain for her cousin Ashley and her mental health issues. He snaps at Ashley for not being happy during Nicole's pregnancy announcement, venting all his resentment and frustrations at her, and yet rants in annoyance about how he's the one considered the asshole; upon hearing Ashley's story about a traumatic abortion she's had, Andrew tells her to her face that she's pathetic. Towards the ending, he is all to eager to cause physical harm to Ashley when he thinks he hears her in the basement.
• Rambo:
  • First Blood: Art Galt is a small-town deputy with a fondness for Police Brutality. When John Rambo is arrested for vagrancy, Galt decides to rough him up for fun. This culminates in him blasting Rambo with a hose and trying to forcibly dry-shave him. This triggers Rambo's PTSD, and he kicks Galt across a room. Galt vows to kill him for this, even ignoring his boss's orders to take Rambo alive. Even his death, which was accidental, highlights how detestable he is, as it only makes the manhunt against Rambo more extreme.
  • Rambo IV has Major Tint. Every single action he does onscreen is a massive Kick the Dog moment, and he even spends most of the climax being a Dirty Coward. That's enough to give the audience an excuse to hate him.
  • Rambo: Last Blood has the Martinez brothers Hugo and Victor. Both of them are absolutely disgusting and repulsive human beings without any positive traits, and Victor is also the one directly responsible for killing Gabriela, which makes their deaths all the more satisfying.
• Ready Player One (2018): It's one thing that Rick bullies Wade in the real world, but when Wade tries to call his Aunt Alice and warn her that their home is going to be blown up, Rick, who has stolen Wade's X-1 bodysuit, intercepts the call and speaks for Alice saying they don't need Wade anymore. All the while, Alice worriedly insists to speak with her nephew. Sorrento may have killed Aunt Alice and Rick, but it's Rick who thwarts Wade's attempt to save them (or failing that, reconcile with his Aunt).
• Resident Evil: Afterlife: Kim Coates plays the annoying Bennett, a movie producer trapped in an L.A. prison with a few other survivors. His character is the classic hatesink — utterly one dimensional and can be lifted right out of the story. He is rude, selfish, and disagrees with every other main character on decisions. When things start to go wrong he shoots a fellow survivor and then escapes in a small plane leaving the rest behind. Then in the climax he does the bidding of the main evil character so that he is saved. But he gets his just deserts when the heroes kill the main villain and leave him to be eaten by some unseen horror.
• Robot and Frank centers around a Villain Protagonist who uses a robot caretaker to help him in his burglary schemes, so to help preserve audience sympathy, his main victim isn't presented in the best light. Said victim is Jake, who's sponsoring the public library in Frank's neighborhood, but is haphazardly disposing of the books in favor of more modern formats and putting Jennifer, Frank's love interest, out of a job. He's also generally irritating and full of himself, and is quite well-off, to the point where we don't feel too bad when Robot and Frank eventually steal some jewelry he keeps in a safe.
• The Rock: James Womack, the FBI director, is the obnoxious Obstructive Bureaucrat who imprisoned John Mason for 30 years over stolen microfilms containing state secrets. When General Francis X. Hummel threatens to send a missile towards San Francisco, Womack recruits Mason to intercept Hummel's plans, planning to deny Mason his freedom regardless, and tearing a signed document to that effect. Later admitting his reasons for imprisoning Mason when confronted by Agent Paxton, in the aftermath of the missile crisis being averted, Womack attempts to pry Mason's whereabouts from Dr. Stanley Goodspeed. When Goodspeed claims that Mason is deceased, Womack tries to pry the location of Mason's body out of Goodspeed, only for Goodspeed to claim Mason was vaporized by the missile. And long before they commit a coup and take over Hummel's role as the Big Bad when Hummel finally reveals that he was only bluffing about the missiles (because there was no way in hell he was going to kill civilians to get what he wanted), Captains Darrow and Frye prove themselves to be Sociopathic Soldiers willing to annihilate a bunch of Navy SEALs to satisfy their bloodlust and keep telling Hummel to launch the damn things.
• Room: Old Nick is made to be hated and he succeeds at the task admirably.
• The Room (2003): Lisa is supposed to be this, cheating on Johnny and then falsely accusing him of hitting her just as an excuse to break up with him. The problem is that she doesn't really come off much worse than any of the other main characters, apart from not having the prerequisite genitals to get away with being a dick to everyone in this universe.
• Rosemary's Baby: Guy Woodhouse conspires with the Castevets, selling his soul to the Devil and setting Rosemary up to be raped by Satan himself and gaslighted over the period of months... all to get a role in a play. No one is sorry to see Rosemary spit in his face at the end of the movie.

S

• Savaged: Trey is a redneck from a long line of anti-Native American serial killers. First introduced running his latest victim down with a truck, he abducts a deaf woman who witnessed the crime. After binding her with barbed wire, Trey rapes her before killing her to prevent police attention. After Zoe comes back with the help of an Apache ghost, Trey forces his friends to help him fight her on pain of death.
• Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019):
  • Tommy Milner is the Domestic Abuser of Ruth Steinberg who tried to get revenge on Stella, Chuck, and Auggie over a prank and locks them and his own girlfriend in a secret room at the Bellows estate. He calls Ramon a "wetback" before vandalizing his car and abuses the scarecrow Harold whom he often vents his rage out on.
  • The elite Bellows family were the owners of several paper mills in the town. Amassing their wealth over the deaths of the town's children when mercury seeped into the water supply, they make the abused Sarah their scapegoat with her brother Ephraim gaslighting her into believing that she was responsible and torturing her whenever she didn't comply.
• Schindler's List: Amon Goeth is a Real Life example of this trope. He’s a one-man cipher for the horrors of Nazism and the Holocaust. As commander of the Plaszow concentration camp, he enslaves the Jewish prisoners until he can get no more labor from them, after which they're sent to the gas chambers. Many don't even make it that far, being either killed as an example or for Goeth's own amusement. Despite genuinely believing that Jews are not human, Goeth develops a lust for his maid Helen Hirsch, nearly raping her until he decides such a victim would be beneath him. Instead, he beats her senseless. Oskar Schindler initially pretends to be a sycophant to flatter Goeth into not looking into his anti-Nazi activities, but eventually feels compelled to speak up and try to convince the man to be more merciful. Goeth does attempt this, initially allowing a boy he enslaved to live despite an error, but ultimately decides that kindness is boring and kills the boy. (It is also worth nothing that the real Goeth was a lot worse than what the film depicts him to be, and was actually toned down because Steven Spielberg was terrified that people would mistakenly think he was deliberately exaggerating Goeth's horrors to make him a cartoon villain.)
• On one hand, Patty, Ned's girlfriend from School of Rock has a point about Ned letting his friend Dewey mooch off of him. On the other hand, she acts like an utter bitch who constantly henpecks Ned and takes delight in Dewey's misery. This eventually culminates in Ned leaving to go see Dewey and his band of students perform at Battle of the Bands, slamming the door in Patty's face while she ironically yells at him to stand up for himself for once.
• A Serbian Film: Vukmir is a Mad Artist who specializes in horrifying pornography. Believing that he's a transgressive genius, he drugs and manipulates former porn star Miloš into making Snuff Films, all while showing him his previous work which involves children, animals and at least one infant. He eventually dupes Miloš into raping his own son on-camera, consequently driving him to murder-suicide his entire family. He does not get off scot-free however, as Miloš kills him by repeatedly bashing his head into the floor and shooting his film crew with a handgun, making for quite the satisfying moment.
• Scream:
  • Scream 3: At face value, John Milton appears to be a representation of Horrible Hollywood. Then it's revealed that he participated in Maureen Roberts' gang-rape, traumatizing her into promiscuous behavior. The gang-rape also resulted in Roman Bridger, making Milton indirectly responsible for all the events in the series. This marks him as one of the few victims in the films, who had it coming.
  • Scream 4: Rebecca Walters is Sidney's callous assistant and publicist, wanting Sidney to capitalize on her trauma for book sales, even telling Sidney to embrace being a victim for life. When the new killing spree starts, Rebecca is giddy over the attention this will receive, and increase Sidney's book sales; books she admits to never reading. Because of this, Sidney soon fires her, shortly before Rebecca becomes a new Asshole Victim for Ghostface.
  • Scream (2022): The Ghostface duo are two of the more petty and entitled of the bunch, and shown to be all the more pathetic than their predecessors, making it a joy when they get theirs—along with their first fatal victim being just as unlikable too:
    • Richard "Richie" Kirsch, along with Amber, is a disgruntled Stab fan, engineering a killing spree to inspire a "true" sequel. To this end, Richie woos Sam Carpenter — Billy Loomis' illegitimate daughter — planning to frame her as the "villain" of their narrative, due to her ties with Billy. Richie mocks Sam's trauma as he reveals their relationship is a farce, and when beaten, whines about not getting the ending he wanted. After his death, his family would spread conspiracies to paint Richie as a victim, while demonizing Sam.
    • Amber Freeman is a likeminded Stab fanatic, working with Richie to inspire a "true" Stab sequel. Picking out "legacy" characters, most of them being Amber's friend group, Amber hospitalized her supposed best friend Tara, and personally disembowels Dewey. When confronted by Sidney and Gale, Amber cowardly tries to claim she was indoctrinated, before gloating to them about Dewey's death.
    • Vince Schneider—Stu Macher's nephew—is a creep who proves that entitled stalker behavior runs in the family. An older guy who took advantage of Chad Meeks-Martin's girlfriend Liv McKenzie, having driven up outside their school too, Vince then tries to get Liv to warm up to him again and threatens Chad with a knife when he stands up for her. Because of this, Vince is not missed in the slightest, when Ghostface offs him.
  • Scream VI: Jason Carvey is the most uncharismatic and wormy of the Ghostface killers. Catfishing, luring and murdering his film professor Laura Crane, over a low grade, Jason and his roommate Greg plan to Richie's work, having been part of his cult following, and previously stalked and developed a rapport with Sam. They are soon murdered by the actual Ghostface, Richie's father, who expresses disdain for Jason's pettiness.
• A Serious Shock! Yes Madam!: May is the jealous False Friend to protagonist Yang and a Stalker with a Crush, trying to repeatedly screw over the wedding life between Yang and Wilson, despite Yang being kind enough to have May as her bridesmaid during her wedding. Hiding her jealousy towards her friend, May pretends to be smiling and cheerful in Yang’s presence, but is actually a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing plotting on how to screw Yang over the worst ways possible. She uses a sparring exercise as an excuse to cripple her alleged best friend, and repeatedly beats Yang in front of two dozen police trainees to humiliate her. On the false pretense of making up for her misbehavior in training, May decides to have a friendly visit to Yang and Wilson during dinner, only to ambush the couple and murder Wilson after subduing Yang, and subsequently frame Yang for Wilson’s death. When Yang finds a new friend in Coco, which May discovers later, she deliberately kidnaps Coco’s son and threatens to blow up the child to force Yang out of hiding.
• Set It Up:
  • Rick Otis is a high ranking New York executive who regularly mistreats his subordinates, and is introduced having Charlie Young scramble to get him dinner. Throughout the film, Rick has Charlie do other menial tasks, such as working on a science project for the former's son, and saving seats at the aforementioned son's play. When an intern brings an item into Rick's office relating to his ex wife, Kiki, Rick fires the intern, calling him a "pencil dick" for good measure. After being manipulated into a relationship with fellow executive Kirsten Stevens, courtesy of the latter's assistant Harper Moore, as well as Rick's own assistant Charlie, Rick blames Kirsten for a bad date after eating raw beef at a Korean restaurant. Eventually, once his relationship with Kirsten resumes, Rick lets slip to Charlie that he is cheating on Kirsten with Kiki.
  • Suze is Charlie's vapid, self-absorbed Supermodel girlfriend who is obsessed with prestige and status. When Charlie invites her to the school play where Rick's son is performing, Suze complains about Charlie not being higher up in his career. In a later scene, Suze is seen flirting with other men, prompting Charlie to join Harper at her best friend's engagement party when the latter's date does not make contact. When Suze and Charlie eat dinner at an expensive restaurant, Suze makes a big deal about said restaurant being the venue for Kanye West's half birthday. Suze responds to Charlie breaking up with her at the restaurant by whining that Charlie is supposed to be her "backup".
• Unlike the Flat Character Bandit Chief in Seven Samurai and the Affably Evil Calvera from The Magnificent Seven (1960) who has an Alas, Poor Villain moment, Bartholomew Bogue from The Magnificent Seven (2016) gives the audience every opportunity to hate him. For example: he slaughters several townsfolk when they speak up against him (and orders the sheriff to let the corpses stay where they fell for a few days so everybody will know that Bogue should not be defied), murders one of his own men for bringing him a message he doesn't like, has several of his own men mowed down when he has the town shot up with a Gatling gun, and participated in the rape and murder of Chisolm's mother and sisters several years before.
• The Shape of Water: Two of them:
  • Richard Strickland. Even though he is a Standard '50s Father with a wife and two kids who he treats well at home, he is still a bigoted and sadistic government agent who is very cruel to The Asset, torturing him relentlessly with a cattle prod and deems him inferior to humans because of his appearance. Sure, Strickland did get two of his fingers bitten off by The Asset but its heavily implied that he had been torturing the asset long before this incident happen. He is also shown to be unfaithful to his wife by sexually harassing the women in the government area he works in, doing such harassment towards the mute protagonist, Eliza.
  • The Pie Guy whom Giles forms an unrequited crush on him, but then is revealed to be a racist and a homophobe after Giles pushed his Berserk Button after affectionately touching his hand that prompted him to reacted offended and outraged following by kicking him out and banning him from the diner he works at after just kicking out an African-American couple where he mockingly says the diner's business chain catchphrase "Y'all come back now," Giles is so disgusted at this revelation that he wipes his tongue in defiance before leaving.
• David from Shaun of the Dead. He is condescending to Shaun, acts like The Load, is a terrible boyfriend to Dianne, has a complete Lack of Empathy towards Shaun's mother being Mercy Killed, tries to shoot Shaun in the face, and just lacks any redeeming qualities. Audience members were in fact glad when he gets disemboweled and dismembered by a horde of zombies.
• She Shoots Straight gives us Superintendent Lau, the lieutenant and supervisor overseeing the Huang sisters in the police precinct, and is a sexist bigot who refuse to promote or commend them for their efforts because of believing in gender rules. Whenever the Huang sisters are assigned on missions, he repeatedly assigns them on embarrassing duties such as going undercover as call girls and prostitutes, just for the sake of being a dick. He’s repeatedly rude to the Huang matriarch, herself a retired police lieutenant and his superior, and also borderline racist to Mina because of her Eurasian heritage. After Huang Tsung-po, his best officer and the Huang sister's only brother, dies horribly partway through the film, Lau actually tries to cover up Tsung-po's demise as his own fault, and threatens to have Tsung-po's wife Mina and youngest sister Ling suspended for trying to avenge their husband/brother. When Mina and Ling finally had the Big Bad arrested by way of vigilante, Superintendent Lau's true nature as a Glory Hound quickly kicks in as he tries to get himself credit for the operation.
• Silent Night, Deadly Night:
  • The unnamed Santa robber executes a store clerk for fighting back against him, gets pissed when he learns he only got 30 dollars, kills Billy's parents, and tries to rape his mother. He's also indirectly responsible for the entire plot, being why Billy has a fear of Santa Claus.
  • The Mother Superior of the orphanage the Chapmans live in is an abusive fanatic who refuses to try and help Billy's PTSD, believing punishment will make it resolve itself. Her stringent nature is why Billy gets the urge to punish the naughty. Played with at the end, where she does her best to protect the children in her care from an adult Billy.
  • Andy, Billy's supervisor, is a belligerent asshole who does nothing but berate Billy for any lapse in his work, and attempts to rape his girlfriend when she refuses his advances.
• Sin City: Ethan Roark, Jr., is a sadistic paedophile who only gets away with his atrocities because his father is a senator. He is completely impotent unless he hears a preteen girl screaming, and has had hundreds of victims. Eight years after he's beaten to near-death and castrated by hero cop John Hartigan, he comes back to finish the job on the girl he saved, planning to torture her to death.
• Slashers: At first Michael appears to be a nerdy guy who gets a little too much enjoyment from the carnage. Then he starts making increasingly selfish decisions for his own survival. Then he tries to rape Megan. Soon after doing that, he reveals that he's a Serial Killer in his normal life, and joined so he can get credit for his murders without being arrested. He's so loathsome that the show's apathetic cameraman sacrifices his job to help Megan out.
• Sledgehammer (1983): The killer's mother spends most of her screentime berating her son for "ruining" previous attempts to cheat on her husband and locks him in a closet to get him out of the way.
• Smiley: As it turns out, "Smiley" who was seeming to stalk Ashley, was a fringe group of Anonymous consisting of strangers and students Ashley befriended trying to spread the urban legend of Smiley. To this end, they fake numerous murders, stalk and gaslight Ashley culminating in her jumping out a window to her seeming death. When this prank is revealed, the pranksters openly celebrate her suicide, the success and brag how their legend will go down in infamy.
• Being a killer-animal story, Snakes on a Plane has Paul, a businessman who is obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious and only exists so the audience can cheer when he dies. In contrast, the guy who put the snakes on the plane simply disappears from the narrative entirely because there's no believable way to put him on the plane after take-off, and extending the action beyond what the audience came for would have probably induced Ending Fatigue.
• Snow Day (2000): "Snowplowman", real name Roger Stubblefield, is the creepy and mean-spirited plow driver who torments the kids and takes pride in robbing them of the mythical "second snow day"—having also apparently run kids over who weren't fast enough to avoid his truck. Snowplowman cares nothing for when he finds a presumably injured Wayne Alworth on the road, nearly kills the trio by hitting their snow fort and acting like he did nothing wrong and kidnaps and threatens Wayne—at one point strapping him to the front of the truck—as a response to Natalie Brandston and Chet Felker kidnapping his bird Trudy. When Natalie tries to stop him from plowing the final road in the town, Snowplowman threatens and taunts her about going back to school the next day too—as well as taunts the other kids as well—until she and the other kids take his truck to start "unplowing" the roads and abandon him after tying him to a sign.
• Finn from Snow White & the Huntsman is one of the most repulsive villains in any version of Snow White. He first appears when he helps his sister Queen Ravenna invade Snow White's father's castle and he develops an incredibly creepy obsession with Snow White, despite her only being 7 years old. 10 years later he attempts to rape her and cut her heart out for Ravenna. He spends most of the film pursuing Snow White and gleefully torches a village that was protecting her. He truly cements his monster status when he boasts to Eric, the title huntsman, about how his wife stands out from all the women he raped and killed over the years. His Karmic Death is the most satisfying moment in the film.
  • Ravenna herself crosses over into this trope herself in the sequel when we discover she burned her sister's baby daughter to death.
• Sean Parker from The Social Network. In a story full of Gray-and-Gray Morality, he's the closest character portrayed as an outright villain due to how much of a Jerkass he is.
• Sonic the Hedgehog (2020): Rachel, the hellish sister-in-law of Sheriff Tom Wachowski, hates him for no explained reason and spends her whole screen time being a Sassy Black Woman that tells her sister (Tom's wife) to divorce the poor guy in almost every other line. It says a lot that she gets tied to a chair and left behind in the Wachowskis' home in the second act and it's not until late in the third, almost a whole day later, that anybody shows any concern about leaving her like that (not even Jojo, Rachel's daughter, cares). While Robotnik is the villain, he at least has an amusing charm about him and is played by Jim Carrey in all his glory, whereas there's virtually nothing appealing about Rachel. Her appearance in the second film, on the other hand....
• Space Jam: Mr. Swackhammer is a corrupt, greedy, and abusive scumbag who is clearly meant to be so vile in order to make the Nerdlucks/Monstars more likable by comparison.
• Spider-Man 3 has Eddie Brock. In contrast to his comic book counterpart, who is often portrayed as an Anti-Hero, the film's version of Eddie is a loathsome jerk before even becoming a supervillain. He forges pictures of Spider Man robbing a bank. When Peter Parker exposes his forgery, getting him fired from the Daily Bugle, he goes to a church to pray for Parker's death. There, he meets the Venom symbiote, taking it for himself. He forms an alliance with Flint Marko to kill Spider-Man, kidnapping his girlfriend Mary Jane. He refuses to give up the symbiote despite Spider-Man's pleas, and when Harry tries to rescue Spider-Man and Mary Jane, Venom murders him by impaling him. As the only villain in the trilogy without a Freudian Excuse or sympathetic characteristics, Eddie is just an unpleasant monster.
• The Spiderwick Chronicles: Mulgarath is the hateful, shape-shifting ogre seeking Arthur Spiderwick's book he wrote about the the world's creatures to find and kill them all. Using his army of goblins, Mulgarath had Arthur's daughter Lucinda targeted when she was a young girl in order to find out about the book decades ago and has them attack Arthur's descendants the Grace children—and their mother Helen—to be able to get the book from them too—eve pretending to be deadbeat father Richard in the process too. Mulgarath nearly gets the book and gets away, only for the hobgoblin Hogsqueal—whose family Mulgarath killed—to satisfyingly eat him when he turns into a crow.
• In St Helens, this role is split between Whittaker, the logging baron and Dr. Wagner, Jackson's boss at the geological survey. You can't hate a volcano for erupting, but you can hate people who ignore the protagonist's warnings and suggestions to evacuate. Whittaker is made less-likable by profiting off the media attention the volcanic activity brings the town, being rude to the protagonist's love interest, while Wagner verbally disparages the hero and hates him personally.
• A Star Is Born (2018): Rez Gavron is Ally Campano's manager who arranges for her to take on a more flashy image and more poppy songs. He demands that her husband Jackson "Jack" Maine not accompany her on her tour later after Jack gets out of rehab, which results in Ally wanting to cancel the tour. Rez berates Jack, who thought Rez was corrupting Ally's image, to his face for threatening to tank her career just with his presence and this results in Jack being Driven to Suicide. On top of that, Rez is not shown after to feel guilt for what has happened or face any consequences either.
• In Star Trek Beyond, one of Krall's two Dragons is Kalara, his former science officer, Jessica Wolff, whose role in his scheme is to be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing running a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to lure well-meaning spacers into the nebula to be torn apart by his swarm and the survivors enslaved and then systematically killed to fuel the Big Bad Trio's life-extension technology. Their most recent victims of this plot are the crew of the Enterprise. It's extremely satisfying to see Captain Kirk outwit her and finish her off by flipping the remains of the destroyed saucer on top of her, smashing her into the terrain like a particularly insignificant bug.
• Stephen King movie adaptations:
  • The Mist: Mrs. Carmody is a shrill religious fanatic who looks down her nose at anyone who isn't as "righteous" as she is. Eventually, Carmody whips an angry mob into a religious frenzy that almost results in the murder of the protagonist's young son.
  • The Green Mile: Percy Wetmore uses the fact that he's the nephew of the governor's wife to duck authority at every turn, even after deliberately sabotaging the execution of a convict he particularly hates, having him fry alive in the chair, right after telling him his fantasy of a place for his mouse was a lie.
  • Stand by Me: Vile jerkass John "Ace" Merrill—the teenage leader of the Cobra gang—is first introduced stealing the Yankees cap that Gordie Lachance got from his late brother Denny and then threatening to burn Chris Chambers's eye with a cigarette for insulting him shortly after that. Ace also belittles and insults his own gang—at one point even saying he'd kill any of them for money—and even Chris's older brother Gregg "Eyeball" who let Ace harass Chris before is regretful when Ace threatens and nearly kills Chris with his switchblade for both insulting Ace again and refusing to let the Cobras take Ray Brower's body back. It's only by Gordie threatening only him with the gun that Ace relents while also swearing vengeance at the same time.
  • The Shawshank Redemption:
    • Warden Norton is a maddeningly self-assured corrupt hypocrite, who maintains a veil of friendliness but won't hesitate to abuse and exploit the inmates of Shawshank for his own personal gain, going so far as to have Andy thrown into solitary for a month just for calling Norton "obtuse", all the while Hiding Behind Religion as a justification for his immoral actions. Norton goes as far as to have an inmate who knows Dufresne is innocent killed.
    • Captain Hadley is a vicious bully who has the nerve to complain about the taxes he'll pay on $35,000 he's inheriting (a fortune in 1940s money, especially for a prison guard) and makes his true nature known early on by violently beating a prisoner to death for crying too loudly. Hadley is additionally directly complicit in the murder of an inmate who knows about Andy Dufresne's innocence.
    • Bogs Diamond is a vicious rapist who makes Andy's first two years in prison a living hell and takes perverse joy in his victim's suffering. A sniveling coward when he doesn't have the numbers advantage on his side, Bogs clearly thinks of himself as the prison kingpin but has no authority beyond inflicting pain on others.
  • It (2017):
    • Bill Skarsgård's take on Pennywise the Dancing Clown outdoes the original version in sheer depravity. Along with IT's crimes from the novel, IT taunts the possibility of Georgie being alive just to send Bill on a fruitless hunt that puts his friends in danger in the process. 27 years later, IT also pretends to save a gay man from drowning only to devour his heart in front of his boyfriend. IT kills a young girl after promising to remove her embarrassing birthmark, and — to further taunt Bill over his inability to save Georgie — makes him relive it by killing another boy in front of him.
    • Alvin Marsh is Beverly's abusive father. Strongly implied to be attracted to his own daughter because of her resemblance to her late mother, Alvin attempts to rape Beverly, only for Beverly to severely injure him in self defense.
  • The Shining: The Overlook Hotel drives its inhabitants to murderous insanity ending with the deaths of the caretakers and their families. In the first film, it compels Jack Torrance into attempting to kill Danny and Wendy and in the sequel, possesses a grownup Danny to force him into going after Abra. When Danny regains control of his body, the Overlook feebly attempts to save itself from destruction by getting Danny to turn off the boiler.
  • Doctor Sleep: The True Knot as a whole are a clan of sadistic quasi-immortal beings responsible for several homicides. Of the species, two stand out as especially deplorable.
    • Barry the Chunk lures a young boy named Bradley by offering him a ride only to sadistically mock him when he and the other True Knot torture him to death for his steam.
    • Snakebite Andi, a "pusher," joins the True Knot of her own volition after making a habit out of leaving markings on those she compels with her voice. Despite despising people who harm children, she joins understanding it entails torturing children to consume their steam. Before succumbing to her wounds, she forces Billy into killing himself out of spite. This act nearly drives Danny into drinking again.
• The Strange Thing About the Johnsons: Isaiah Johnson is a violent abuser who sexually abused his father for 14 years and later tried to kill his mother after deflecting the blame of his father's death from him.
• Strays (2023): Doug has absolutely no positive qualities. He's a drug addict, porn addict, animal abuser who cheated on his girlfriend for what's implied to be a long time^note He specifically states in the climax that he had two girlfriends before Reggie and who insisted on keep Reggie (despite openly hating him) simply because he wanted to hurt his now ex-girlfriend, all while blaming others for his numerous faults. In the climax, he tries to kill Reggie with a bat.
• Fang Shih-hsuing from The Sword of Swords starts off as the Big Brother Bully to his younger protege, Lin Jen-hsiau, and spends most of the film being a disrespectful Jerkass to his superiors and bullying Lin for the most insignificant of reasons. But much later in the film Fang is revealed to be a greedy, power-hungry scumbag who wants to steal the titular sword for his own selfish reasons. He betrays his former school, leading to the death of his master, and then targets Lin, who had a wife and newborn baby at this point, stopping at nothing trying to have Lin's entire family killed off. He further blinds Lin by throwing darts into his eyes and leaves Lin and his baby to die in the middle of the wilderness, and after finding out from his underlings that Lin is still alive, orders his mooks to kidnap numerous civilains, including a little girl Lin had befriended, and tricks the blind Lin into killing those innocent villagers while Fang gleefully watches without any remorse.
• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: If you don't hate Judge Turpin for sending the main character away to Australia and raping his wife, or you don't hate him for ordering a beating a young man for looking at his hostage, you will certainly hate him for sentencing a crying little boy to death without even knowing if he was guilty by his own admission.

T

• The Taking of Pelham One Two Three: Mr. Grey, real name Giuseppe Benvenuto, is one of four men who hijack a subway train for ransom. Throughout the film, Grey antagonizes the hostages, sexually harassing a woman, beating a black man for mouthing off (and calling him the N-word), and trying to shoot cops after a ceasefire. He also guns down a transit supervisor and chuckles about it afterwards, saying he "got [the hijackers] on the scoreboard". The hijackers' leader Mr. Blue frequently has to step in and stop him from going too far, and makes clear that he does not trust Grey because he was thrown out of the Mafia for being too violent. When the hijackers attempt to escape, Grey delays them by refusing to give up his gun; Blue, who has had enough of him, just shoots him dead.
• Tammy and the T-Rex: Billy is Tammy's psychotic ex-boyfriend. Even so, Billy has no problem sleeping with another girl despite his claims that Tammy belongs to him. When she gets a new boyfriend Michael Brock, Billy responds by kidnapping Michael, beating him with the help of his gang, then driving him to the zoo and dumping him into an enclosure to be mauled by lions. As a consequence of Billy's attack, a now-comatose Michael is taken by a Mad Scientist and his brain removed to power a T-Rex robot, making Billy responsible for almost all of Tammy's problems in the film. So we feel absolutely no sympathy for Billy when the T-Rex robot shows up at a party and tears his head off.
• Teeth: Brad is abusive to his girlfriend and has openly lusted after his stepsister, Dawn, since childhood. When Dawn's mother is dying a slow and painful death, he leaves her to die to have sex with his girlfriend. When his father finally tries to throw him out, he turns the tables on him with a gun and sics a dog on him. When his father asks if he's upset about his mother, he says he doesn't even remember her and just wants to have sex with Dawn.
• Tenet: Andrei Sator is an abusive, selfish, spiteful Control Freak given absolutely no redeeming qualities, and everything he does just makes the audience hate him more.
• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
  • The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003): Sheriff Hoyt, AKA Charlie Hewitt Junior, has none of Leatherface's more sympathetic qualities, being played as the most detestable of his Cannibal Clan, being the one who got them into the practice in the first place. He is shown to be an abusive bully throughout, taking a sadistic joy in toying and harming others, and is implied to be a rapist as well. This leaves the audience nothing but catharsis when Erin runs over him repeatedly to make sure that he's dead.
  • Texas Chainsaw 3D: Mayor Burt Hartman, despite his initial Hero Antagonist status, is portrayed as a self righteous and vindictive vigilante. In the years since he led a lynch mob against the Sawyers, wiping all but a few out, Hartman is a celebrated hero to his community. Upon discovering Heather is a Sawyer by blood, he immediately plans to kill her, despite her otherwise innocence and ignorance on the matter. Furthermore, for all his talk of "justice", he hypocritically covers up the Accidental Murder of Heather's friends by one of his cops, before having Heather beaten and partially stripped to lure Leatherface to her.
  • Leatherface: Verna Sawyer Carson, is a stark contrast to her  previous portrayal. Here, she's played as an emotionally manipulative mother to Jed, trying to mold him into another killer like the rest of the Sawyer family, apathetic to the boy's trauma. Seeking Jed out for years, Verna acts like she and her family are innocent victims of a cruel world, despite their gleefully murderous history. After Jed suffers a series of mental and physical traumas over the movie, Verna successfully pushes Jed into becoming Leatherface; having him decapitate his friend and love interest Lizzy as she tries to reach out to them, and is proud of causing her son's mental downfall.
• Terminator: In the first two, the titular machines are far too cool and scary to really hate (not to mention the fact that as machines, they're just doing what they're programmed without the capacity to contemplate their own morality). But you can hate the brusque, cowardly Dr. Silberman, who wasn't that bad in the first movie but has gotten much worse in T2, who's rude and dismissive to Sarah and is largely responsible for her being locked up in an insane asylum for just trying to warn everyone about Skynet, even though he was there when the Terminator attacked the police station. And you can definitely hate the slimy, obnoxious orderly Douglas who not only beats her violently when she tries to resist but also licks her face when she's lying comatose. You'll find it difficult not to cheer when she beats the shit out of Douglas with a broken broom handle before taking Silberman hostage by jamming a syringe full of drain cleaner into his neck.
• 13 Assassins: Lord Naritsugu Matsudaira is a sadist who uses his position as the Shogun's half-brother to rape and murder his way across Japan. His atrocities are so severe that various lords are plotting a rebellion just to take him out. When cooler heads set some assassins on Naritsugu to prevent this, Naritsugu is enamored by the carnage and decides to become Shogun and plunge the country into civil war for his won amusement.
• Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri:
  • Dixon is a racist waste of a man who does nothing but abuse his status as a cop to assault and intimidate innocents. Then his Dark and Troubled Past is revealed, and he starts making a genuine effort to atone for his misdeeds. However, whether the second half of the film makes up for his acts before is up to the viewer.
  • Given his abuse of Mildred, Charlie also qualifies, despite having significantly less screen time. Unlike Dixon however, he does not show significant signs of becoming a better person.
• The Day After Tomorrow: The skeptical Vice President, who puts off from doing anything about Jack Hall's warnings because of the potential economic impact up until it is impossible to do anything to help evacuate approximately half of the United States and the people in it (and the whole of Canada, too). His further comeuppance includes becoming President of the United States (the actual President being one of said casualties), having to hear all the reports of the horrors of the super-storm as they come in and deliver his first Presidential speech from the U.S. embassy in Mexico.
• Titanic: Cal Hockley is the rich and pompous fiancée of Rose, being controlling of her, as well as verbally and physically abusive towards her. Learning of Jack and Rose's affair, he attempts to frame Jack for theft, and leave him to die in the sinking, before trying to kill them both. He then cons his way onto a lifeboat using a small child to save his own life, and ultimately survives the sinking. With that said in the aftermath of the disaster, Cal loses the Heart of the Ocean, believes he lost Rose, soon loses his fortune, and eventually takes his own life, having not learned his lesson.
• Tokyo Gore Police: The unnamed chief of police is the true antagonist of the film. In order to privatize the Tokyo police department, he has an esteemed officer assassinated, killing the hitman when he's done. This ends up causing the assassin's son to become a Mad Scientist called the Key Man and create a horde of rampaging mutants known as Engineers to terrorize the city. The chief orders his police, including his deceased rival's daughter Ruka, to kill any Engineers they find, despite many of them not working for the Key Man. When one of his officers is infected, the chief has the rest start massacring anybody who could possibly be an Engineer, sexually abusing a woman he keeps as a pet all the while. Ruka arrives to stop the carnage and avenge her father, so the chief proves his hypocrisy by injecting himself with the Engineer serum to fight her. A Dirty Cop to the extreme, the Chief of Police proved to be far worse than Key Man.
• The Toxic Avenger: Bozo is a bully who leads a bunch of his friends in tormenting Melvin, eventually terrorizing him and inadvertently causing the accident that makes him into the Toxic Avenger. When they're not tormenting mentally disabled janitors, he and his gang go around and run people over with their cars for fun, with special points granted for killing the elderly and children.
• Young-suk in Train to Busan has basically zero redeeming qualities. He's directly responsible for several deaths by using people as Human Shields against the zombie horde, and makes no effort to help others.
• Transformers: Age of Extinction has Attinger, an amoral, self-righteous hypocrite who instigated The Purge on the Autobots and commissioned an army of artificial drones made from the corpses of Autobots and Decepticons. He also has no problem in killing his fellow humans to keep his operations a secret, and sides with Lockdown in capturing Optimus, so he can get a cybertron Seed to create more transformium for his plans.
• Trash Fire: Violet is Owen and Pearl's abusive religious fanatic of a grandmother who made their lives miserable for years, continuing to mistreat the disfigured Pearl to the present day. Intending on murdering the rest of her family, Violet sabotages Owen's epilepsy medication when the latter is not looking. Revealing to her Pastor that she killed her own daughter and son-in-law, and attempted to drive her own grandchild to suicide, Violet reveals her intention to finish killing the rest of her family, Blackmailing the Pastor into compliance so that he does not interfere. Upon returning home, Violet puts a rattlesnake in the toilet in order to make an attempt on Isabel's life, then attempts to set Owen on fire. Later on, Violet attempts to shoot an incapacitated Owen, as well as Isabel, only to be shot by Pearl. Overall, Violet is a textbook example of a self-righteous abuser, and a sociopath.
• The Trial of the Chicago 7: Judge Julius Hoffman has practically nothing in the way of redeeming qualities, being absolutely determined to give the defendants the most unfair trial possible.
• Tricky People: Reginald Charming is a dark and serious villain, standing in jarring contrast to the colorful and zany protagonist in Yellow Dyno. A popular record producer and "upstanding citizen", Charming is a serial pedophile and child porn artist who uses his position of trust and charisma to lure kids in for photoshoots and picking out a girl he especially likes. One of his previous victims was Carmen, who photos Charming holds against her and threatens her with. He later tries to take "private photos" of Carmen's friend, Lyric, and implicitly tries to force himself onto her before Yellow Dyno saves her. A surprisingly realistic and menacing depiction of a child predator, the emotional trauma he puts Carmen through is highlighted when she laments her lost innocence and her fear of telling anyone about Charming.
• Trilogy of Terror: Chad Morgan is a college student introduced degrading his female co-eds as "dogs.' After meeting his English professor Julie Eldridge, Chad constantly asks her out until she agrees to go on a date with him. During the date, he drugs her to take compromising photographs and blackmail her into a relationship. Right before Julie kills him, Chad flat-out admits that what she wants means nothing to him.
• Troy: Agamemnon, Menelaus' brother and the leader of the Greek army. Firstly, he lacks redeeming features (like Paris' Adaptational Heroism or Menelaus' Villainous Valour), except a brief Even Evil Has Loved Ones moment when his brother is killed. The rest of the time, he's portrayed as an arrogant and self-serving ambitious monarch, as well as a cowardly backstabbing armchair general who is sitting behind his troops in the midst of battle. The film even takes it a step further by showing that he caused the Greeks to lose the early engagements of the Trojan War with his arrogance (specifically in the first attempt to besiege Troy) and never portray him clashing in melee with the Trojans. And let's not forget about the time he "gave" Briseis to the men...
• True Lies: Juno Skinner is the antiques dealer that Salim Abu Aziz and terrorist cell Crimson Jihad hire to assist them by means of using priceless artifacts to smuggle their four nuclear warheads into the country all because she is being well paid to help them succeed in it—one of which is nearly used later to kill two million people and the other just as a warning for the threat it imposes. She informs Aziz of the location Harry Tasker is staying at for his cover so Aziz and his men can ambush and kill him and later gleefully informs the abducted Harry of the torture he'll undergo so that Crimson Jihad can get answers about who he works for, making it a point to taunt his wife Helen about when she was flirting with him too. When Helen hits her later on for another taunt, Juno tries to spitefully shoot her, only keeping Helen alive as a hostage at Aziz's assistance. She then later tries to kill her in the back of her limo by means of either trying to shoot her or trying to strangle her during a heated fight.
• Twister: Cary Elwes plays the corporate-backed scientist Jonas. You can't rage at the tornadoes, right? They're a force of nature, and they inspire awe in the heroes and give them purpose. But this guy "sold out" and got corporate funding, making him a puppet of The Man (and why would a scientist ever want funding?). His team travel in sleek and sinisterly identical black vans compared to our Ragtag Bunch of Misfits' ragtag assortment of vehicles, and he's a hack that doesn't know the true science and just copies the heroes or relies too much on the instruments rather than the clairvoyant way that Bill Paxton just stares at the storm and knows which way it will go. (Maybe this movie isn’t very well written.) Ultimately, he and his driver get sucked into the storm when he arrogantly ignores the heroes' warnings.

U

• Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact: Being an installment set in the Cosmos-verse, where kaijus are usually benevolent in nature or simply some kind of Tragic Monster, we can't hate most of the featured kaijus. However, we can despise Commander Shigemura, an Obstructive Bureaucrat and General Ripper who strictly believes Violence is the Only Option and repeatedly interferes with the Science Research Center's (SRC) attempts to peacefully subdue harmless monsters, such as ordering drones to attack the peaceful, hibernating Don Dragon causing the monster to go on a rampage, behaving like a dick towards his underlings, believing himself to be superior due to his position in authority, and confiscating the sacred blue stone bestowed by Ultraman Cosmos to eight-year-old Musashi as a gift for his own selfish reasons. When Psycho Baltan, an alien from a destroyed planet arrives on earth, the SRC successfully deduced that a peaceful method of communication between humans and Baltanians is possible, where they managed to put Baltan to sleep using their music, only for Shigemura to interfere in the last minute and order a missile strike, instigating Baltan into retaliating, at which point Shigemura turns tail like a Dirty Coward and took cover in one of his military vehicles while Ultraman Cosmos is forced to fight Baltan to save the city. Shigemura eventually earns himself the Platinum Hate-Sink Award for being the most despicable human in any installment of the Ultra Series by attempting to launch a nuke on Ultraman Cosmos, after Cosmos killed Baltan and saved the city, while muttering "aliens should all be destroyed"... in a Taking You with Me last-ditch attempt, ignoring the fact that Cosmos is in the middle of the heavily populated city. None of the characters in the movie have any good opinions towards Shigemura, which can also be said for the audience.
• Ultraman Saga: This incarnation Alien Bat in particular sticks out for being the most sinister and devious incarnation yet, earning nothing but contempt from humans, Ultras, and kaijus alike. He seeks to conquer Earth by abducting most of the adult population and leaving just the children behind, in order to instill fear among the remaining Earthlings. He abducts and resurrects souls of Kaijus which are already resting in peace in the Monster Graveyard, only to treat them as slaves and executing them for failing him. He gloats about his powers before the Ultra warriors, yet spends most of the movie hiding behind the safety of his own spaceship or Hyper-Zetton. In the end, watching Ultraman Saga - a fusion Ultra warrior with the combined strength of 3 Ultramen - squash him with a Megaton Punch is insanely satisfying.
• Universal Soldier: The Return: S.E.T.H.'s Dragon Romeo. Whereas S.E.T.H. is actually a charismatic and cunning villain, Romeo is a brutish oaf and Implacable Man who is also smug, spouting grating one-liners, and is even implied to have been a rapist in his past life. During S.E.T.H.'s hostile takeover of the Uni Sol building, Romeo killed several guards and a technician before being assigned by S.E.T.H. in tracking down Luc's daughter Hilary so that S.E.T.H. could use her as bait against Luc. Romeo catches up to Hilary's current location at a hospital after tracking a phone message at Luc's house from Luc's partner Maggie, whom he tried to rape earlier before. Informing S.E.T.H. of Hilary's location, Romeo heads over to the hospital, where he murdered Maggie, several orderlies and a security guard while S.E.T.H. kidnaps Hilary and takes her to the Uni Sol building. Romeo also took Maggie's body back to the Uni Sol building to revive her as a Uni Sol to serve S.E.T.H., a fate that she finds to be unbearable to live with. Even when an angry Luc finally managed to destroy S.E.T.H. and a majority of Uni Sols while letting Hilary escape, Romeo brutally defeated Luc in combat, intending to murder him and lead the remaining Uni Sols into war out of complete spite against him.
• The Untold Story: Wong Chi-hang is a fugitive working at a pork bun restaurant while in hiding. When his boss catches him cheating a mahjong, Wong massacres his entire family and takes the restaurant for himself, disposing of the bodies by making them into pork buns. When one of his employees considers telling him what happened, he rapes her to death with chopsticks. After being arrested, he tries to weasel his way out of trouble by crying police brutality to the press.
• Up in the Air: Alex Goran, much like Ryan Bingham, is a carefree frequent Flyer. The two hit it off for the whole movie and Ryan starts to fall for her until he eventually discovers Alex kept a huge secret from him: she has a husband and two young sons in Chicago. Dismissing Ryan as "someone who's lost," Alex also calls Ryan to tell him that "that's [her] real life" and that he's only "an escape" to her. She also condescendingly calls herself "a grown-up" and half-heartedly tells him to "give [her] a call," resulting in Ryan calmly hanging up.

V

• V for Vendetta:
  • Adam Sutler, High Chancellor of England, is directly responsible for England's current fascist state, spends his time berating his men for not stopping V, and framed his enemies for a bioterrorist attack to become dictator in the first place.
  • Peter Creedy runs the Secret Police, crushing any dissident as brutally as he can, has a man executed for mocking Sutler, and proposed the aforementioned bioterrorist false flag.
  • Lewis Prothero, England's chief propagandist, spends his days spouting every kind of bigotry he can on TV, treats the crew of his show like dirt, and used to run a concentration camp where he experimented on thousands to create bioweapons.
  • Bishop Lilliman controls the religious sector of England, using the cloak of Christianity to cover any atrocity, including the aforementioned concentration camp, and is a serial paedophile.
• Valentine is full of deplorable characters that the audience will cheer for their deaths when a Serial Killer comes to take their lives. There's Paige Prescott, who shows no remorse about participating in a Frame-Up, completely blows off death threats when it becomes apparent the boy she framed is gunning for her head, and pours hot wax on her date's crotch when he proves not to her liking, Dorothy Wheeler, who was the person who initiated the aforementioned Frame-Up, Campbell Morris who is a Gold Digger only interested in his girlfriend's money, Detective Vaughn who sexually harasses Paige, and Gary, Kate's Stalker with a Crush who steals her clothes and winds up beaten to death out of the killer possibly being concerned for Kate's safety.
• Van Wilder:
  • First Film: Richard Bagg is an arrogant med student caring only about his own dreams and status as President of student government, seeing that as a license to talk down to and walk all over other students, even physically toying with his pledges. He is also Gwen's condescending boyfriend, who sees her as his "bitch" and when he sees Van and Gwen getting close, gets into a rivalry with Van. When Gwen, rejects his marriage proposal, he frames Van for serving alcohol to kids to get him arrested and expelled and later cheats on Gwen. This serves to make the humiliation and revenge pranks he's subjected to a joy to watch.
  • Rise of Taj: Pip Everett is an arrogant and exclusionist Earl of Grey; whenever a lower class person is accepted into his fraternity, the Foxes and Hounds, Pip would lie about a typo saying they haven't accepted and send them. On top of that, he's racist towards Indian people, taking potshots at Taj's nationality. He also cheats on his girlfriend Charlotte, and attempts to frame Taj and his house for stealing exam answers to ruin their reputation. Luckily, he suffers quite the comeuppance; he soils his reputation when his theft is exposed; he gets expelled and his letter of recommendation for the House of Lords is rejected.
• The Virgin Spring: The two shepherds stumble upon an innocent girl in the woods, and decide to rape and murder her for the hell of it. They unwittingly seek shelter in her parents' house that night, and decide to try and sell her clothes for a quick buck. This backfires immensely, as the girl's father brutally murders them both.

W

• In the movie Waiting..., the primary antagonist is the restaurant staff's soul-crushingly dull and miserable existence. Which is why we have the "biatch" who ordered the steak. She's only in one scene, but that was more than enough. Every single line of her dialogue is a condescending insult (including being angry her food was delivered too fast,) delivered with an infuriating sneer. When she drags out the "How hard is your job?!" line, that's when they've had enough. Even after watching them subject her food to the most disgusting act of revenge you could imagine, you'll still feel like she was let off too easy.
• Scowler from the Walking with Dinosaurs movie has proved himself to be unlikable due to being a Big Brother Bully to Patchi and picking on him for no reason. Then his hatedom increases when he thrashes Patchi in a battle and then kicks him out of the herd, leaves him to die, and doesn't let Juniper help him. Just because Patchi leads the herd off the icy lake, which Scowler led them onto in the first place. It makes it satisfying when Gorgon mauls him to near death as the herd leaves him behind near the end of the film.
• When Good Ghouls Go Bad: Coach Michael Kankel is pretty much the source of all the problems in the movie. He uses fear mongering and bullying tactics to keep Walker Falls from celebrating Halloween for twenty years, which in turn took a toll on the town’s economy. He did so by spreading an Urban Legend of the curse of Curtis Danko, convincing everyone that Curtis was pure evil and making himself into a new pillar of the community. It's soon revealed that as a kid, he was the one who inadvertently killed Curtis by locking him in a kiln as a prank; when he discovers Curtis's death, not only did he not feel any remorse, he uses said death to fabricate the urban legend in the first place. The reason why he did this was because he was jealous that Curtis' statue was gonna win an art contest and so that he could play hero. He claims that he is doing this to honour his father's legacy, but even Kankel's own father is disgusted at his son's actions when he finds out.
• Whiplash: Invoked by Damien Chazelle as he not only instructed J.K. Simmons to portray Fletcher as uncompromisingly mean-spirited, but wrote the character as devoid of redeeming qualities so as to challenge the audience to accept his perspective. Simply, he intends that you dislike him.
• Wicked Little Things:
  • Edmond Carlton was a mine owner in the 1800s who extensively employed child labor. When an accident causes a cave-in, Edmond orders a bunch of these kids left to die because it would cost too much money to save them. Managing to buy his way out of any legal trouble, Edmond skipped town and vanished into obscurity, leaving the vengeful zombies the children became to terrorize the town. Despite never appearing beyond a photograph, Edmond is responsible for all the horrors that unfold in the film proper.
  • William Carlton is a descendant of the above mentioned Edmond and is no better than him. A greedy and arrogant businessman, he is buying out the town and forcing people out of their homes in order to renovate its land. Upon meeting Karen, he immediately tells her to vacate her families house on the grounds that he owns the town.
• Wild Things series:
  • Wild Things: Sergeant Ray Duquette, despite initially seeming to be the Hero Antagonist uncovering the Villain Protagonists scheme, is later revealed to be a vicious Dirty Cop who would frequent and beat prostitutes. Prior to the film, he murdered Suzie's friend and had Suzie herself sent to juvie on bogus charges. Joining Sam on the scheme, he murders Kelly in cold blood when they try to frame her for Suzie's alleged murder. It's also revealed that a large portion of Suzie's scheme was to get revenge on Duquette.
  • Wild Things 2: Niles Dunlap is Brittney's wealthy and emotionally abusive stepfather, the reason why her mother supposedly committed suicide, and nearly screwed over his family with gambling debts with the Cartels. While seemingly in on a scheme with his stepdaughter to fake his death, it's soon revealed his wife also faked his death, and he is the target of Brittney and her mothers revenge scheme.
  • Wild Things: Diamond In The Rough: Jay Clifton is Marie's greedy stepfather who screwed her out of her inheritance. While he seems to be innocent in the rape accusation Elena throws at him, he is still implied to be a ephebophile and predator either way. It's later revealed that he was the anonymous rapist of Detetive Kristen Richards, who he taunted by saying she will not remember nor forget what happened; Elena turns out to be Richards daughter and part of their scheme was to get revenge on him.
• Willow has Burglekutt, the prefect of Willow's village whose Establishing Character Moment involves his making it quite clear that he wants the hero's farmland. A minor Running Gag involves his head and/or face getting shit on by passing birds.
• Willy's Wonderland: Sheriff Eloise Lund is a self-righteous Small-Town Tyrant who lures various people inside the titular abandoned restaurant, convincing them that they need someone to fix the place when in actuality is having them become unwilling human sacrifices to the killer animatronics. After the Janitor — the last person who was sent to fix the place — actually takes care of the situation by destroying the animatronics, Lund handcuffs him and tries to feed him to Willy herself while using the other teens deaths as an excuse to do so. Needless to say, the audience won't feel bad for her when she gets sliced in half by Willy himself.
• The Wizard of Oz: Almira Gulch is Dororthy Gale, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry's contemptible neighbor. She is an abohrent Rich Bitch who owns half the county, but in her mind she owns all of it, and believes she can do whatever she wants. She attempts to euthanize poor Toto simply for chasing her cat and biting her leg one time. Lacking any of the hamminess and Ax-Crazy charm of the Wicked Witch of the West, Miss Gulch makes the most of her small screentime to hammer in her status as the most unlikable character in the entire film.
• The Woman: Chris Cleek is a corrupt country lawyer who kidnaps the eponymous feral woman, claiming that he wants to civilize her when he actually rapes and tortures her for his own pleasure. Cleek is also a toxic misogynist, striking his wife for crossing him and repeatedly raping his daughter until she became pregnant. He then feeds her teacher to her dogs and his eyeless daughter whom he kept locked away in the barn.
• Wonka: While the other villains are too goofy to be completely hateable, Mrs. Scrubbit has no redeeming qualities. She is even hated in-universe, with Wonka even calling her a monster at some point, and Noodle even straight-up telling her that she hates her.
• World's Greatest Dad: Kyle Clayton, son of Lance Clayton, is a teenaged high school student who no one likes. However, the reason no one likes him is because he is a massive Jerkass. He treats all women as a sex object, including his father's girlfriend (whom he takes an up-skirt photo of), has no interests other than jerking off, and is very mean to both Andrew (his Only Friend) and his own dad (both of whom he calls "fags"). When he dies via Erotic Asphyxiation, any and all sympathy you will feel will be toward Lance, not to Kyle himself.

X

• X: RJ tries to pass himself off as a master class movie director when he is really an egotistical man who refused to have his girlfriend act in his movie and has the nerve to storm out without informing her and tries to abandon the crew by stealing the van. Suffice to say when the elderly couple start massacring the mostly decent film crew, his death is the one lacking sympathy
• X-Men Film Series:
  • Logan: Dr. Zander Rice is presented as a cruel, heartless Mad Scientist who experiments on young mutant children to grow up to be Child Soldiers, while constantly viewing them as objects (which mercilessly lead to some of the children committing suicide); being held responsible for the deaths of each of their birth mothers. He then demands each of the children to be euthanized and proceeds to make the X-24 mutant as a mindless killing machine which goes on to slaughter an entire innocent family. It was totally worth seeing him get shot by Logan after revealing he killed off the entirety of the mutantkind.
  • Deadpool (2016): Ajax is a high ranking member of the Weapon X program and the one responsible for Deadpool's creation. Under the guise of making those that come under his care "superheroes," he subjects them to weeks of torture to awaken their mutant gene before selling them off to the highest bidder. Kidnapping Vanessa and locking her in an oxygen chamber, he laughs maliciously, revealing that there was no cure for Deadpool's transformation.
  • Deadpool 2 features the Orphanage Headmaster who sadistically tortures young mutants under his care due him considering them to be "abominations". He is especially cruel towards Russell, which eventually results in the latter's Start of Darkness that contributes to Cable's Bad Future. He is also proven to be a Dirty Coward once Russell hunts him down; even being an Ungrateful Bastard once Deadpool and his gang manage to spare him from Russell's wrath. He eventually gets killed by Dopinder's taxi in the most cathartic way possible.

Y

• Yesterday (2019): Debra. She makes it pretty clear that she only sees Jack as a way for her to make tons of money, and it is rather satisfying to see her Villainous Breakdown near the end after Jack comes clean.
• Young Sherlock Holmes: Ehtar and his unnamed sister, AKA Professor Rathe and nurse Mrs. Dribb respectively, target the scholars, who accidentally caused the deaths of their fanatic parents, by the means of Dribb shooting them with hallucinogen thorns that induce panic and result in being Driven to Suicide. They also sacrifice four innocent girls in a ritual. Ehtar (who becomes "Moriarty" later on) and his sister prove to be nothing but vicious radicals whose sadistic methods and actions only ultimately satisfy them.
