10 Horror Movie Villains Who Would Have Won By Doing NOTHING
10. Adrian Griffin - The Invisible Man (2020)
H. G. Wells' beloved sci-fi horror classic was originally intended to be part of Universal Pictures' Dark Universe project, until everyone realised what a terrible idea that was and the whole thing was canned.
A rebooted version of the movie finally saw the light of day in 2020, with Oliver Jackson-Cohen playing the role of the transparent terror.
Adrian Griffin fakes his own death to exact his revenge on his former partner Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss). An optics engineer by trade, Griffin builds a special suit that can turn him see-through with the flick of a switch.
The thing is, Adrian had absolutely no right to go looking for vengeance. He was the controlling one in the relationship, which forced Cecilia to drug him in order to escape.
Had he just let her leave and moved on with his life, then he wouldn't have had to go through all the hoopla of faking his own death and he wouldn't have ended up actually dead come the end of the film.
Also, he had an invisibility suit! This guy could have robbed banks, but all he does was pull a couple of pranks on his ex!
What a waste.
