10 Horror Movie Villains Who Gave Themselves Away Immediately

10. Detective Schenk - Spiral: From The Book Of Saw

Even before the most recent Saw film, Spiral, was released, many fans predicted that the Jigsaw Killer copycat would be Detective Zeke Banks' (Chris Rock) partner William Schenk (Max Minghella), because honestly, he gave an incredibly "off" vibe from the trailers alone.

And while it became incredibly obvious that Schenk was the movie's killer when he became the first character in Saw history to "die" off-screen, he actually outed himself much earlier than that - his very first scene, even.

Right at the start of the film, Banks is introduced to his new partner Schenk, and when Banks tells him, "You don't wanna be my partner," Schenk quickly replies with, "You don't know that. Your dad's the reason for all this. He's why I wanted to do this in the first place."

And really, that's all you need to know that Schenk is the villain. He's literally spelling it out in plain sight, that he became a killer because Zeke's police chief father (Samuel L. Jackson) protected corrupt cops, one of whom killed his own father.

Even the tone with which he speaks this dialogue feels distractingly sinister, ensuring Spiral was by far the most disappointingly predictable of all the Saw movies.
