10 Best Movie Characters That Never Say A Word

10. Kevin - Sin City

Few mute movie characters are as memorable as Sin City's cannibalistic serial killer Kevin (Elijah Wood), who despite apparently having "the voice of an angel," elects not to use it during his lurid day-to-day manoeuvres.

While Wood gives a terrifically creepy wordless performance as the character, what truly makes him unforgettable is the circumstances of his death.

Ultimately, Kevin is overpowered by Marv (Mickey Rourke), who ends up hacking his limbs off, allows a dog to start eating him alive, and then finally saw his head off.

Despite all this, Kevin doesn't utter a single plea for help or let out even the faintest sound. He endures it all in absolute silence, which is somehow even more chilling than the fact that he murdered and ate people for a living.
