10 Horror Films You Constantly Have To Defend Loving

4. Legion (2010)

Sneered at on its release (Entertainment Weekly called it €œa rough and humourless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness€), Legion casts Paul Bettany in the role you€™ve always wanted to see him play €“ an archangel with a machine gun. He€™s on Earth to battle the forces of darkness that€™ve descended on a truck stop in the desert to kill waitress Charlie (Adrianne Palicki), who€™s about to give birth to the future saviour of mankind. When the first soldier in this conflict €“ a potty-mouthed senior citizen who can spider walk across ceilings €“ fails in its mission, along comes a zombie horde, unaware that Bettany has just armed his troops with enough guns to take down The Wild Bunch. Legion is incredibly silly, and it€™s hard to know if certain sequences were meant to be funny, but as far as movies with machine gun-wielding archangels go, this one is top of the list.
