6. Shelley Fisher - Valentine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MlqHwEVxlM To be fair, Katherine Heigl didn't have much time to be annoying when viewers first watched Valentine in 2001, because a) she's only in the film's first 10 minutes and b) nobody knew who she was at this point. Still, her character slots pretty firmly into the tradition of annoying slasher movie victims, because she makes the dumb decision to leave herself totally vulnerable by hiding in a bodybag in the morge; if she's rumbled, as she is, there's nothing she can do but just sit back and take a blade to the throat, which she does. Still, this character takes on a whole new meaning if you dare - and you probably won't - to re-watch Valentine any time soon. It's a terrible film, sure, but now that Katherine Heigl's had her day by starring on Grey's Anatomy - and in Valentine, she funnily enough plays a med-student - and then subsequently ruining her career with a glut of awful romantic comedies, it's great to see her annoying presence be snuffed out so violently. Or maybe we're just sick.
