10 Best Horror Movies With More Than One Villain
9. Slaxx
Evil pants and violently insecure man-child. Choose your fighter.
Slaxx follows a young woman who has just started her dream job at a trendy clothing store. Everything seems to be going fine, until a pair of possessed jeans starts making minced-meat out of everyone in sight.
By contrasting murderous blue jeans to the film's other villain, store manager Craig, Slaxx functions as an incendiary condemnation of capitalism. The motive of one when compared to the other helps highlight the film's surprisingly intelligent themes.
The pants kill because they're seeking vengeance for a horrendous tragedy. With Craig though, he kills simply for the purpose of furthering his own career. He only cares about personal profit, and will do anything to obtain it.
Do the pants kill plenty of people who don't deserve it? Yes. However, you can understand why they do what they do. Craig though? He's just scared little boy pretending to be a big, tough man. Few things are as dangerous as that.
