10 Horror Movies That Switch Villains

Future cult treasure Psycho Goreman offers everything you could want and more from a brutal killer alien feature. It's got a psychotic warlord, Power Rangers-style fights and a sociopathic little girl (Mimi, played by Nita-Josee Hanna) who makes the esteemed galactic conqueror Mr Goreman (Matthew Ninaber) her flunky.

And yet the appropriately titled Psycho doesn't end up being the film's primary antagonist. Sure, he claims that, when free, he will annihilate Mimi and everything she has ever loved, but there's not a whole lot of follow-through. On the other end of things there is an intergalactic guardian named Pandora (Kristen MacCulloch) who, while theoretically on the side of good and tasked with hunting down Goreman before he can do any more damage, is also the very being who enslaved the warlord's people in the first place.

Far be it from me to say how a film that sees a world-destroying space demon come under the control of a pre-teen girl is supposed to play out, but despite the big guy's near-constant threats of pain, death and doom, he winds up helping his captors defeat the far more entitled, and downright irritating, Pandora.
