10 Horror Movies That Switch Villains

Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic horror is a tough watch for a multitude of reasons, bringing zombies home in a whole new way. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up in a London ravaged by a so-called rage virus that has turned people into murderous, super angry, super fast, super infectious creatures the like of which these lands have never seen outside of Parliament.

It doesn't really get much scarier than manic rage zombies - until it does. Though the zombie-creating virus looms large over the entire film, and provides a heap of scares and intense moments, the evil of men eclipses all.

With zombies as the backdrop, Christopher Eccleston's Major Henry West, the leader of a group of renegade soldiers in Manchester, enacts his own campaign of cruelty and evil. Holed up in a fortified mansion that at first appears to be a much-needed sanctuary from the madness outside, it soon becomes apparent that the major intends to lure surviving females into sexual slavery in order to repopulate the world, all while giving his men their kicks.

Frankly, we'd take a zombie world over that one any day.
