Hate, or "love to hate"?

I'll go with both Frank and Julie Cotton.


True that. That's the real horror.

Probably the mayor from Jaws... He's about a 9.7 out of 10 on my "stupid scale".

it's a cliche but i can't even sit through "friday the 13th 3" because of shelly. i am not really a huge fan of that series as it is but that guy is so punch-able and i just can't stand him.

I hated ruth in the girl next door... what a bitch

Most religious zealots in movies are over-the-top annoying, but Mrs. Carmondy from The Mist especially.

The Shining could have been a perfect film; if only the kid got the ax at the end.

The man you love to hate
 

Sometimes the villain is the one who makes the film. Back around 1915, the studios billed Erich von Stroheim as "The man you love to hate." He mostly played sadistic German officers back then.

I guess Alan Rickman's performance in Die Hard made critics sit up and say "This guy is good as playing bad." actually, the one I most disliked in that movie was...can't remember his name. The one who tipped the bad guys off to who "Roy" really was. I guess he was supposed to be hateable.
What do they do for a casting call when they want to cast a part like Pete Pettigrew in Harry Potter, or the Secretery of Defense in Independence Day? "Wanted, actor to play a snivelling little rat-faced git."

In Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the Dead I couldn't stand Glen because I felt like he was basically a straw doll used to try and convince the audience that all gay men are as creepy and useless as he was. I also didn't like the fact that his background was ripped off from the character Mary Henry from Carnival of Souls being an atheist who worked as a church organ player like she was.

I also couldn't stand Job and Sarah from Children of the Corn. Their parents were brutally murdered along with all the other adults in Gatlin and instead of being traumatized and hiding in fear they're busy playing games and making fun of the psychotic cult leader, not caring if they get caught.::roll eyes::

some critics hate little kids
 

When The Sixth Sense came out, the review that appeared in the New York Times was not very informative, except that you could figure out that the main reason the critic hated the movie is that he hated movies that feature cute little kids.
