10 Horror Movie Villains With Surprisingly Boring Day Jobs

10. Alexandra Collins – Landlady – Last Night In Soho

Charting the story of Cornish fashion student Ellie (Thomasin McKenzie) who moves to the big city in pursuit of becoming a big-name designer, Edgar Wright's 2021 joint, Last Night In Soho, offers a layered confection of Londons old and new, starring a cast of past, present and future British acting greats.

But there are perhaps none greater than the legendary Dame Diana Rigg, who died in late 2020, and whom the film is dedicated to.

By day, Rigg is Ms Alexandra Collins a little old lady renting out her spare room to students, drifters and anyone who will treat the place right and pay the rent. But, by night – or, at least by the timey-wimey nights of the 1960s – she is Sandie, a femme fatale and reluctant prostitute of the London club scene, leading the men she was pimped out to back to her bedroom for their very last nocturnal experience.

As day jobs go, private landlady is among the tamest, paying the utilities, reprimanding your occupants for noise and keeping the hallways clean and tidy. But, as Ms Collins' past and present lives merge, she finds herself forced to silence her only tenant, inadvertently burning down her home in the process.
