10 Best Horror Movies With More Than One Villain
5. Alien
The reason Alien takes the spot over its sequel, even with it literally being called Aliens, is that the original boasts more what we might call actual villains.
Alien follows a group of space truckers who unknowingly take aboard a vicious, extraterrestrial stowaway. Now, they're going to have to work together if they want to make it home alive.
The most apparent villain in Alien is the unstoppable killing machine we've all grown to know and love. Yet, the film actually has two additional villains. The other two? Well, they're none other than the android Ash and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
When it's revealed that Ash is a homicidal android hell bent on protecting the interest of Weyland-Yutani, the moment comes out of nowhere, delivering a gut-punch of terror strong enough to make you ruin whatever pair of pants you're wearing.
The scene serves to add to the already overwhelming sense of despair the crew of the ship faces, while also laying the foundation for much of the franchises lore. It's also just downright scary.
