Top 10 Villainous Movie Couples

“Harry Potter” franchise (2001-11) While we don’t often see them together, the Malfoys still play a viciously evil role throughout the Harry Potter film series. For one thing, they raised Draco to be a bigoted and narcissistic creep, so that’s minus infinity points right there. They also perpetuate pure blood supremacy and swear loyalty to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and while Narcissa isn’t one herself, she still supports the cause. While Narcissa betrays Voldemort and the Malfoys flee during the Battle of Hogwarts, it is still for purely selfish reasons. The Malfoys have always been out for the Malfoys, even if it means others getting hurt in the process.

#9: Roy Batty & Pris

Top 10 Movie Couples with Memorable Love Scenes

“Blade Runner” (1982) Sure, they may be replicants, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel, damn it! Roy and Pris are two of four Nexus-6 replicants of which Deckard is ordered to retire on Earth. It’s debatable whether these two, specifically Roy, are even “evil,” as they simply want freedom and an extension of their very short lives. But then again, they do kill the crew of their shuttle and murder both Tyrell and Sebastian. Roy discovering Pris’ body is also a scene of great sadness and sympathy. They’re evil, yes, but they’re also much more complex than your typical science fiction baddie.

“Seven Psychopaths” (2012) It’s hard to stand out as a psychopath in this movie, but Zachariah and Maggie certainly manage to do it. Zachariah is now an older and polite man, but he tells Marty the story of his escapades with his old flame, Maggie. The two were a Dexter-like couple who would traverse the country hunting and killing other serial killers. And they didn’t just kill them. They sawed off their heads with hacksaws, burned them alive while they were pinned to a table by knives and more. Maggie was actually too sadistic for Zachariah. You know you’re messed up when another serial killer thinks you’re too violent.

“The Mummy Returns” (2001) Way back in Ancient Egypt, Imhotep embarked on a secret relationship with Anck-Su-Namun, a woman who belonged to the Pharaoh. However, once they murdered the Pharaoh for their freedom, Anck-Su-Namun killed herself and Imhotep was mummified alive. All Imhotep really wants is to be reunited with his long-lost love. They’re a viciously evil couple, but you have to admit that they’re also kind of cute. People complain about long-distance relationships, but imagine being apart for thousands of years. However, Anck-Su-Namun proves too selfish in the end, and Imhotep’s heartbroken face provides an unexpectedly poignant ending to his otherwise horrifying story.

#6: Top Dollar & Myca

Top 10 Movie Couples Based on Real People

“The Crow” (1994) Much about “The Crow” gets overshadowed by Brandon Lee’s untimely death, but it really is a good movie, with a great villainous couple at its core. And boy, are they messed up. For one thing, Myca is actually Top Dollar’s half-sister, but that doesn’t stop the two from getting freaky. Top Dollar is also a high-level crime boss who began the sadistic ritual of Devil’s Night, which includes burning down various buildings. He and Myca partake in some extremely weird rituals, like cooking eyeballs and gleefully inhaling the smoke. They are one weird couple, but they certainly make for entertaining viewing.

“Pulp Fiction” (1994) Now this is how you open a movie. “Pulp Fiction” begins with no warning – we’re immediately thrust into the lives of these two lovers while they plan the robbery of the very coffee shop we've joined them in. The robbery then commences... and then we don’t see them for another two hours. It’s fantastic stuff. What makes their story even more appealing is that they genuinely love each other and seem like rather polite people, despite their less-than-kosher profession. Either one could be taken home to mother if they weren’t, you know, damn dirty criminals.

#4: Chucky & Tiffany Valentine

Top 10 Funniest Chucky Moments

“Bride of Chucky” (1998) They might be doll faced, but Chucky and Tiffany are total monsters. Hell, they even look “evil”, as Chucky has grotesque wounds running throughout his face and Tiffany is dressed like a badass biker chick or a goth teenager. The two of them are complete psychopaths, will viciously murder anyone they come across and mostly show no remorse - with Tiffancy only doing so during the rare occasion. Hell, Chucky even killed the human version of Tiffany and transferred her soul into a doll just to spite her. There’s really no good side to this couple; they’re just pure evil through-and-through. That is, unless you count a harmless adoration of Martha Stewart a charming personality trait.

“Heathers” (1988) “Heathers” is not your typical high school drama or romantic comedy. The movie follows Veronica and J.D. as they – well, J.D. mostly – murder various students and forge notes to make the killings look like suicides. However, Veronica soon grows to despise J.D.’s psychopathic nature and looks to change her ways, but not before J.D. makes plans to blow up the entire school. While Heather’s character was watered down in later iterations of the story, she is not-so-innocent here, and the couple makes for an interesting deconstruction of fictional high school sweethearts. You don’t see John Hughes writing couples like this, do you?

“Natural Born Killers” (1994) Quentin Tarantino certainly knows how to create a memorable psychotic couple, doesn’t he? Like a much more macabre Bonnie and Clyde, Mickey and Mallory Knox traverse the American Southwest, taking hostages, assaulting, and killing over fifty innocent people. They then violently break out of prison in a hail of gunfire and blood. There are no redeeming qualities to either of these characters. Like the worst serial killers, they are intelligent, cognizant of their horrible crimes, and completely without remorse. The movie was criticized due to its highly graphic content, and it’s not hard to see why. These two are ripped straight from a nightmare. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Clarence & Alabama “True Romance” (1993) Darwin & Minerva Mayflower “Hudson Hawk” (1991) Harry & Zinnia Wormwood “Matilda” (1996) Dean & Missy Armitage “Get Out” (2017) Pauline Parker & Juliet Hulme “Heavenly Creatures” (1994)

“Bonnie and Clyde” (1967) There’s just no competing with the real deal. This 1967 movie chronicles the crimes of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, the famous real-life couple and notorious criminals. We watch as they pull off small time heists, rob banks, kill cops, and shoot people in the face, all in the name of money and notoriety. The movie was condemned upon release, as the central couple weren’t seen as fitting protagonists, and its violence was considered far too graphic. At this point, Bonnie and Clyde are so iconic that their names have become synonymous with evil couples, and there’s simply no beating their legend.
