10 Horror Movie Performances That Fell Totally Flat

10. Alicia Witt - Urban Legend

Alicia Witt has proven herself to be a plenty talented actress in numerous other projects, but her turn as Natalie Simon, the Final Girl of Urban Legend, is a total damp squib.

Now, it doesn't help at all that Natalie is a rather uninteresting protagonist, but Witt's emotionally devoid performance only makes this worse, enough that you'll likely wish the Final Girl were the decidedly more memorable likes of Sasha (Tara Reid) or Reese (Loretta Devine) instead.

Witt's whiff of a performance only compounds how unlikeable Natalie is, and as such you might even find yourself rooting for killer Brenda Bates (a gloriously camp Rebecca Gayheart) to finish her off at the end.

If Witt was trying to portray Natalie - who is on probation for causing a car accident which killed Brenda's fiancé - as guilt-stricken and traumatised, she instead made her come off as though she's been chugging sleeping pills.
