Ask horror fans to name their number one movie douchebag of all time, and they without fail choose Travis Van Winkle's turn as Trent Sutton in 2009's Friday the 13th.

The horror remakes in the 2000s all seemed to share one trait - characters that were poorly written and often came off as annoying and unlikable. However, it is without question that Trent Sutton of Friday the 13th is king among the bunch.

Whatever negative aspect you ascribe to form a truly hateful character, Trent has them all. He's rude, he's spoiled, he's condescending and whiny. However, Trent's most galling moment comes when he elects to cheat on his girlfriend Jenna, and ignore her frantic warnings that there is a maniac stalking the woods outside.

With a constant cocky strut, his disastrous need to forcibly take charge and his eventual cowardice, Trent's death is a blessed relief. However, one can't help but feel a little disappointed that the fate Jason bestows just isn't gruesome enough for the arrogant, cheating know-it-all...

Hi! The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a HUGE horror movie nut. A confirmed addict to the WhatCulture Horror YouTube channel I thought I'd try my luck on their writing team. I'm a wannabe author with one completed manuscript submitted to a few agents. Please cross your fingers for me! I am currently working on my second book. If you wanna talk horror or need any movie recommendations, I'm your man! Give me a follow on Instagram... since there doesn't seem to be a section for that in the "socials" tab @that_horror_nerd
