10 Incredible Movies With TERRIBLE Villains

10. Koobus Venter - District 9

Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi flick centres around an extra-terrestrial spaceship that becomes stranded in South Africa for decades, causing unrest across the nation. When a government agent called Wikus (Sharlto Cooper) is exposed to the aliens' biotechnology, he begins to mutate, turning him into Public Enemy #1. Out of desperation, Wikus teams up with the aliens (derogatorily called "Prawns"), to help them return to their homeworld. 

Even though Wikus has many adversaries, nobody is a bigger pain in the ass than Colonel Koobus Venter (David James). Being passionately xenophobic towards the Prawns, Venter is more than happy to eliminate Wikus and his allies.

Although Venter is supposed to be scary, his generic manner and appearance makes it tough to remember his name or what he looks like, even after watching District 9 multiple times. So little is revealed about Venter, he comes across as a mindless grunt rather than the overarching antagonist. When Wikus kills all the enemy soldiers, it feels like Venter became the main baddie by default, purely because he was the only one left alive.

Though Venter's demise during the showdown should be satisfying, it was hard to feel anything since next to nothing was revealed about him.
