10 Horror Movie Characters Who Made Our Skin Crawl
10. Todd Hughes - Hostel: Part II
With his second Hostel offering, Eli Roth gave audiences several characters who were painfully unlikeable.
Of course, there's the Elite Hunting Club itself, whose particular business of torture is chillingly sinister. Then there's Stuart (Rogert Bart), the seemingly meek and mild fella who finds himself winning an auction to commit bloody murder and then goes full-on nuts.
The most disturbing, annoying piece of the Hostel II puzzle, though, has to be Richard Burgi's Todd Hughes.
Essentially a minted jock who never particularly grew up, Todd is nothing if not pumped at the prospect of getting to terrorise and torment some helpless victims. In this case, this prick is the 'winner' when it comes to an auction to kill two young American girls - those girls being Beth and Bijou Phillips' Whitney.
After all of his bravado and general 'bro' behaviour, the kicker in Hostel: Part II is that Todd completely bottles the task at hand when he finally finds himself faced with the tied-up Whitney. After accidentally scalping his victim, Todd panics, starts to cry and tries to leave the Elite Hunting Group facility.
Fortunately for audiences, Todd's would-be escape is foiled and he's tore to pieces by a pack of savage dogs.
