10 Horror Movie Douchebags We Love To Hate
1. Guy Woodhouse - Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Upon moving into a new apartment house Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse quickly befriend a pair of eccentric elderly neighbors. With the passage of time, Rosemary begins to fear their neighbors are in fact a coven of witches after her unborn child.
Rosemary's Baby is a textbook example of how a shining, charismatic performance can easily make the viewer overlook some horrendous character traits. John Cassavettes presents Guy Woodhouse as a charming, funny man devoted to his wife and budding career.
As the film progresses, it becomes clear that only the latter is true as it's discovered Guy has allowed his wife to become pregnant with Satan's child in return for great success as an actor... Pretty terrible, right?
However, add to this the fact Guy then allows his wife to believe their baby has died and holds her responsible and you have a genuinely dreadful person. Cassavettes may be charming, but the character is without doubt a deplorable, selfish man willing to sacrifice his wife's sanity as well as several lives for fame and fortune.
