10 Worst Dads In Horror Movie History
4. Don - 28 Weeks Later
Judging someone for the actions they commit in a zombie movie seems futile. Sure, it's easy to picture being brave when you're watching from the comfort of your own home, but in the unprecedented reality of the Rage Virus apocalypse, everyone is fallible. Still, even with all that in mind, abandoning your wife to an onslaught of The Infected and then lying to her kids about it is pretty abhorrent.
Plenty of zombie movies show dads risking everything to defend their loved ones. However, Don from 28 Weeks Later is not one of them; he's the complete opposite. The infamous opening scene sees him run away from his responsibilities in the literal sense, leaving his wife and a young boy behind to be attacked by The Infected.
As if that wasn't bad enough, he later lies to her kids about it, claiming that he couldn't have done anything to save her. And then, as if that also wasn't bad enough, he discovers that his wife is still alive, gets infected after kissing her and then goes on a rampage, jumpstarting the virus again.
Dear god Don, you did everything wrong. You don't deserve a father's day card!
