15 Insufferable Horror Movie Characters You Secretly WANTED To Die

10. Kia Waterson - Freddy Vs. Jason

Unfriended 2014
New Line Cinema

It isn't desperately good on a technical or writing level, but Freddy Vs Jason is, in fairness, very fun if you're in the right mood.

Still, as is often the case in these crossover films, the humans are underdeveloped since they very much play second fiddle to the warring villains, who are the real stars of the show. Most of the human characters here are passable enough, but Kia Waterson (Kelly Rowland) is utterly infuriating.

An unintelligent, annoying, rude and stupendously unfunny comic-relief character who spends the film being really immature and picking on a quieter, nerdier character for no reason, Kia is easily one of the most irritating slasher movie characters of the last 20 years. Pop star Kelly Rowland's terrible performance doesn't help much either.

She does get a good death scene at Jason's hands - and this thankfully interrupts her while she's unleashing a string of groan-worthy zingers at Freddy - but that isn't enough to redeem her.

Stick to music, Kelly.
