20 Greatest Horror Villains Of The 2020s (So Far)
9. Nobody - Bodies Bodies Bodies
And now for an entirely unlikely entry on this list, because when we say that the villain in murder-mystery Bodies Bodies Bodies is "nobody," we're not talking about some metaphysical entity - quite literally, there's no real villain.
The movie's horrendously self-involved, obnoxious characters swiftly start turning on one another after David (Pete Davidson) is apparently brutally murdered early on, his throat having been slashed with a kukri.
But the big hilarious payoff is that, in fact, David wasn't murdered at all - he accidentally cut his own throat while trying to open a champagne bottle with the kukri.
That is to say, all of the paranoia-laced deaths that followed were totally preventable if cooler heads prevailed.
In that respect you could argue that everybody was a villain by so thoroughly abandoning logic, but at the same time, the shadowy murderer everyone expected to be the culprit was nothing more than a collective fantasy conjured in the wake of an admittedly improbable, insanely gnarly accident.
