10 Best Horror Movies With More Than One Villain

10. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)

In 2014's The Town That Dreaded Sundown the past comes back to haunt the small town of Texarkana when a copycat killer decides to remake a past tragedy.

There are so many horror movies that use the trope of people being the real monsters that it's almost become redundant at this point. However, what works here is how the movie uses that trope as a way to recreate the unshakable sense of helplessness that comes along with being at the mercy of true madmen.

The film wouldn't be nearly as effective if there was only one killer. By using two it is able to create a feeling that maybe this maniac is more myth than man - perhaps even supernatural in nature.

On top of that, the viscous brutality that both killers seem to relish in borders on inhuman. They didn't have to go as far as they did to get their point across, but they still chose to. It's in this choice to indulge in the worst of themselves where so much of the film's horror lies.
