10 Horror Movie Villains Who Were Totally Right

10. Johnny - In A Violent Nature

Much like his obvious inspiration - Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees - there's an innately sympathetic quality to In a Violent Nature's Johnny (Ry Barrett), considering all the guy wants to do is be left alone to rest.

Johnny's tragic backstory is that he was a developmentally delayed boy who fell to his death during a prank gone wrong, and when his father confronted one of the individuals responsible, he too was killed, with both deaths being subsequently covered up. And though Johnny returns as a vengeful, undead revenant, the key to keeping him napping in the dirt is to leave his prized locket - which was given to him by his mother - hanging on the remains of the fire tower where he died.

The film literally begins with the central characters picking up the locket, triggering Johnny's awakening and subsequent rampage.

Now, did those kids deserve to get brutally torn apart? Not really, as they weren't to know that taking some random locket would rouse Johnny from eternal slumber, but at the same time, maybe don't take things that aren't yours.

Johnny just wanted to keep his stuff and rest easy - not be bothered by young'uns messing with his wares.
