12 Most Horribly Disappointing Horror Movie Villain Reveals

5. Scream 4

The story following Scream 4 is actually no different than that of its successors - an unknown masked killer kills half the cast surrounding the main characters Sydney, Gale and Dewey, all the while referring to the previous instalments of the Franchise.

It is quite nerve-racking having to guess who the new Ghostface is, but when the reveal finally happens, and we see the motive, the film suddenly leaves the realm of scary into plain ridiculous.

Sidney's cousin, Jill Roberts turns out to be the brains behind all the killings. Her plan was to frame Trevor and Charlie for the murders so that she could publicly end up as the Final Girl and become famous.

Sure, fame does make people do crazy things sometimes, a five minute browse on instagram will enlighten you as to the extent people are willing to go for a few likes and followers.

But going on a killing spree (even going as far as to kill her own mother) for fifteen minutes of fame just seems too out-there. It is the kind of reveal you would expect from a Pixar/Disney villain, but surely not a Wes Craven one.
