10 More Horror Movies Where The Villain Survives

10. Pastor Abin Cooper - Red State (2011)

Kevin Smith's Red State is an arresting movie that stands out within his repertoire of stoner flicks and goofy comedies. One thing that really helps it do so is the horrifying villain, Abin Cooper, played wonderfully by Michael Parks. 

Cooper is a fanatical pastor with a hatred for anyone who doesn't fit within his world and a willingness to inflict "God's justice" upon them. As you can tell, he's a hateable bigot who leads a devout cult in horrible practices and prejudices.

Those who watch the film want nothing more than to see him get his comeuppance. However, he's still alive and well by the time credits role, albeit stuck in a jail cell doing time for his crimes. 

Weirdly, Smith's original desired ending would have seen him cut in half by an angel with a great sword. Not saying that intended climax would have been better, but it would have at least been nice to see this man die horribly.
