10 Great Horror Movies Ruined By One Character
10. Deena Johnson - Fear Street Part One: 1994
Netflix's Fear Street trilogy proved that beloved children's author R. L. Stine is a sick freak who needs to be kept away from kids at all costs. Joking of course, but Goosebumps this ain't.
The R-Rated trilogy is about a group of teenagers who attempt to destroy an evil spirit that haunting the town of Shadyside. Well there's your first problem. The town is called Shadyside. That name is just asking for trouble.
Deena Johnson is the film's main character, played by Kiana Madeira. Naturally, filmmakers would prefer it if audiences actually liked the central character in their stories. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with the young Ms. Johnson.
She shows absolutely no compassion in this movie, seeming to care very little when her friends are hurt or killed. She's also really horrible to her little brother and to her ex-girlfriend Sam (who she broke up with, by the way).
Deena fails in every important category for a main horror movie character. She's unpleasant, rude, uncompromising, and just generally a nasty person to have on screen.
At least she gets a silly voice in the third film, which almost makes up for it.
