50 Infuriating Horror Movie Characters We All Secretly Wanted To Die
40. The Nun 2 - Simone
As this list will show, unlikable characters can add plenty to a story, but one that doesn't ever contribute anything or face any sort of comeuppance is usually a recipe for audience dissatisfaction. A good example of this is The Nun 2, the already-forgotten eighth film in The Conjuring Universe; it features a monumentally annoying bully character that it neglects to actually do anything with.
Simone (Leontine d'Oncieu) attends a French boarding school where one of the main characters is working, and she relentlessly bullies Sophie (Katelyn Rose Downey), the daughter of one of the teachers. She's a horrid character, even more so because so many viewers will have known someone like Simone when they themselves were at school, and it would've been fair to assume that the movie was setting her up for some sort of comeuppance.
Nothing of the sort happens. She gets injured by a demonic goat that rampages through the school in the final act, but that's about as far as it goes, making it a bit of a mystery as to why they even bothered to include Simone, especially as The Nun II was already juggling quite a few different characters. More than anything else, she came off as a plot device to manipulate the audience into feeling more sympathy for Sophie rather than being a proper character.
