10 Horror Movie Villains Everyone HATED
8. Mick Taylor - Wolf Creek
Wolf Creek's antagonist Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) is a vile sadist whose M.O. involves preying upon helpless tourists - appearing to offer assistance before kidnapping, torturing, and eventually killing them.
Taylor clearly takes a sick satisfaction in his twisted vocation, made all the more stomach-churning by John Jarratt's utterly skin-crawling performance in the role. Using the veneer of a chirpy Aussie Bloke to let his targets' guard down, Mick is fully committed to prolonging his victims' suffering for his own enjoyment before finally putting them out of their misery in brutal fashion.
Who among us can ever forget the infamous "head on a stick" scene from the first Wolf Creek, where Mick severs Liz's (Cassandra Magrath) spinal cord and leaves her to die? And as if Mick's not a complete hate sink already, he's also insanely resilient for a flesh-and-blood serial killer, having survived some seriously gnarly encounters across both movies and the Wolf Creek TV series.
