10 Horror Movie Monster Designs Everyone Hated

10. Bughuul - Sinister

It's a credit to the unnerving atmosphere of Scott Derrickson's Sinister that it can overcome the fact that its Babylonian god antagonist, Bughuul, looks almost exactly like one of Slipknot's lead guitarists, Mick Thomson.

The long, greasy hair and distorted facial features just scream "metalhead," and to make this even tougher to take seriously, Bughuul shows up decked out in a spiffy suit from the neck down.

Buhuul's rather silly design is oft-cited as Sinister's big, glaring flaw because the build-up to his reveal is so brilliantly disturbing by comparison. This is perhaps best exemplified by the film's horrifying ending, which is swiftly undermined by a last-second final jump scare as Bughuul leaps into frame, which is probably more likely to rouse laughter from viewers than genuine terror.

This is absolutely a classic case of a horror movie that should've shown its villainous entity as little as possible.
