10 Greatest Villain Introductions In Horror Movie History
1. It Follows - The Entity
Perhaps one of the most unsettling facts about The Entity from It Follows is the ever-changing appearance of the being itself. It's so hard to identify just who the killer is, as it takes on so many forms and figures.
But after the infection is passed onto heroine Jay, the first glimpse we get of the terrifying and deadly entity is a simple walking old woman heading for the classroom. As the camera pans neatly around the room, the old woman outside is passed over and dismissed by both Jay and the audience, before she simply begins to walk across the campus.
She doesn't speak, she doesn't run, she doesn't scream - she simply walks, in perhaps the most ominous and chilling entrance from any of the villains on this list.
But her intensity, her steadfast direction and the sheer unstoppable force of her is what makes this villainous introduction so unnerving, as she relentlessly pursues Jay through the school in this memorable and terrifying scene.
