20 Awesome Horror Villains Introduced In TERRIBLE Movies

13. Jacob Goodnight - See No Evil

It was pretty much a galaxy brain move to take The Big Red Machine himself, WWE superstar Kane, and make him the antagonist of his own horror movie, See No Evil.

With his extremely imposing height and experience playing one of wrestling's most iconic villains, it wasn't terribly surprising that Kane was a snug fit to play the film's serial killer Jacob Goodnight.

Goodnight is a no-nonsense killing machine who effortlessly dismantles the doomed delinquents who are cleaning up the abandoned hotel where he hangs out.

The kills make the movie - especially an unforgettable sequence where Jacob shoves a mobile phone down a woman's throat - because otherwise this is a very typical WWE Studios film.

That is to say, the script reads as though it was frantically scrawled on a few napkins the night before shooting, and there's virtually nothing to get invested in on a character level.

It nevertheless performed just well enough to get a direct-to-video sequel in 2014, which at least benefitted from a massively superior cast, including genre veterans like Danielle Harris, Katharine Isabelle, and Michael Eklund.
