10 Horror Movie Heroes & Villains That Didn't Know Each Other Existed

10. The Father & The Jacket - Deerskin (2019)

Master of the absurd, Quentin Dupieux has been furnishing us with some of the most enjoyable surreal cinema for the past two decades. Despite this, he still flies under most people's radars, and films such as Deerskin don't get the attention they deserve.

Deerskin lays out the tale of Georges (Jean Dujardin), a man consumed by his desire for a deer-hide jacket, succumbing to its retro look and killer style. Thing is, the jacket itself is the villain of the piece, supernaturally luring Georges in and using him as a puppet to enact its own ends and send him on a people- and jacket-slaying rampage.

While on said rampage, Georges and his jacket are watched by a silent boy (Pierre Gomme), whose gaze eventually irritates them so much they snap and pelt him with a brick. Bad move, because that boy has a father (Stéphane Jobert), and that father has a gun.

In a shocking third-act twist, Georges is sniped from a hillside by the father, succumbing instantly to a head wound. As a result, the jacket swiftly passes on to its next host, never having been aware of the father, and the father never having been aware of any sentient jacket.
