Other movies in which you actually HATED the guts of the bad guys?


This is one of the few times where I was SHOUTING towards the screen, supporting Kurt's character and I really wanted the bad guys to die painfully.

And Im sure most of you did, too. Other movies like that?

McDonagh, Tarantino, Rodriguez, Ritchie, Leone, Stone

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974);

The Hills Have Eyes (1977) the cinema audience cheered at the end;

The Crying Game (1992) my girlfriend shouted 'Yeah!' (at the cinema) when IRA member Miranda Richardson was shot dead, she really hated her;

Straw Dogs (1974) I applauded Dustin Hoffman finally taking tough action.


Edit: I forgot the rednecks who beat up the sheriff (Marlon Brando) and killed Bubber Reeves (Redford) in The Chase (1966). They made my blood boil!

The hijackers in United 93, obviously
Mr Potter in Its a Wonderful Life
The Gimp and his handlers in Pulp Fiction
Max Katy in Cape Fear
I would say Anton Sugoor (spelling???) in No Country for Old Men, but you have to admire his determination

Wait, so in Hard Candy, people hated Hailey's character more than that of a tied child molester and murderer? I thought we were talking about the child molester here as a villain.

Death Wish (1974) and Death Wish 2 (1982) had some REALLY nasty bad guys. As did movies like "Sudden Impact" (1983) with Clint Eastwood.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980) had some nasty ones in the form of those TV crew members. Any of the "I Spit on Your Grave" movies and "Last House on the Left" ones.

I feel the same as you. In most movies you at least try to understand the bad guys or even entertainment by the villain (like in Godfather and The Joker) but in this one you can't feel but hated to them.

Besides the obvious ones that based on a true story like for example "Flight 93" and "Schindler's List" I would say that "Deliverance" fits into "hates their guts" category perfectly.
