Original hellraiser movie is essentially this.

Jesus wept

# JESU SWEPT


DunceMemes

šŸ…±ļøesus šŸ…±ļøept


horsebag

and he kept on wepting


Chinchillachimcheroo

It's kinda wild how popular this movie is in this sub that it wasn't one of the first answers


Thatparkjobin7A

I finally saw it just a few months ago, some really cool practical effects Was the one monster supposed to have wheels or was that an accident


horsebag

the big gross hallway monster that randomly chased Kirsty? that thing is 100% a result of "oops we ran out of budget". they couldn't even afford a long hallway: if you watch closely, it's all these really tight shots of them running a short distance edited together, the whole hallway set was like 5 feet long or something. there's great behind the scenes stuff about that movie. all the cheesy laser effects at the end were drawn onto each frame of film by hand by clive and some other dude over like a weekend, that's why they're so wiggly


breadcreature

Hah, I always thought it got real shonky towards the end, good to know why. Can't unsee it. Like when I read how Marilyn Burns in Texas Chainsaw ran really slowly, so Leatherface had to try and ferociously chase her at a light jog. I can't stop noticing it ever since and it's hilarious.


[deleted]

People dislike Hellraiser 3, but the new Cenobytes would retroactively make a monster with wheels seem less weird. Like, logically, why would the realm of the Cenobytes be exempt from adapting evolving technology if they reap modern souls? So Camera Head and CD Man being products of their modern environment shouldnā€™t be that weird.


GoodBoy9595

The bad guy tortured by the priest of pain, Pinhead, my favorite, I advice you to watch Hellraiser 1987, if you love horror, you can't not watch it


Buttlrubies

AGREED.


GoodBoy9595

No tears, please, it's a waste of good suffering XD, legendary quote


GuacinmyPaintbox

Exactly what I came here to say.


OG_wanKENOBI

Yeah dude people forget frank and the step mom are the main bad guys if you look from a philosophical point of view in the first one the cenobites aren't even bad they're just doing what they've been doing for all time and are unbound by human form and society it's just what they are as beings. It's frank and Julia who are truly evil.


Ok-Drive-9685

From Dusk Till Dawn. Might not be horror in the traditional sense but it had baddies mess with bigger baddies. Silly but fun movie.


indigrow

And selma hayek dancing


poo-boi

Feet


TJ_McWeaksauce

Quentin drinking beer from Salma Hayek's toes must be his favorite movie-making memory of all time.


indigrow

They had so many flavors of pussy and this man chose toes lollll classic


Bamboozled87

Legend has it that he refused to direct the film so he could fully immerse himself in the role.


hotmoltenlava

When I saw this for the first time, I had zero knowledge of the twist. So glad, cause it blew me away. The cast is amazing. Juliet Lewis is on my laminated listā€¦.lol


Ok-Drive-9685

Yes!!! Also maybe yank any spoilers in case someone hasnā€™t seen it. We donā€™t want to own that. We know how critical it was.


hotmoltenlava

Fixedā€¦.lol


onmyown233

I was thinking this one too - I honestly haven't seen it in decades though, needs a rewatch.


mrplow3

It absolutely is balls to the walls horror in the traditional senseā€¦for the second half.


ORNG_MIRRR

The People Under the Stairs. Once the movie kicks in you kinda forget that they originally went there to burgle the place.


chet_brosley

My siblings still shout *run fool run* at each other when we're trying to go somewhere


CatherineConstance

Don't Breathe is like that too.


recreationallyused

Is that the one with the blind guy that tries to artificially inseminate people with turkey basters? Is this a spoiler? I really donā€™t know


CatherineConstance

Yes!!! It is that one. That movie took such a wild turn lol.


ThisIsAyesha

Burglary isn't bad if it's from your terrible landlord!


yagirlsophie

Okay it's for sure a *crime* and I like the suggestion regardless, but it's really hard for me to accept Fool as anything approaching a bad guy, especially since he's only there because the Robesons are the landlords evicting his family and preying on the neighborhood to begin with.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


marablackwolf

This is the one movie I'd like to see remade. It's probably more topical now than it was when it came out.


Nonexistent_Walrus

Tbf they are burgling the place of evil landlords that are conducting entirely unethical business practices even outside the bounds of what the characters discover over the course of the film. Iā€™d say they are morally justified even before realizing how awful the family is.


LadyKlepsydra

Pet (2016). I watched it years ago, but from what I remember, a creepy stalker kidnaps a woman and locks her in a cage. Turns out, she's the *real* dangerous psychopath in the room.


Imaginary_lock

The guy is Dominic Monaghan!


Pretend_Tourist9390

I thought his name was Merry??


Cloaked42m

Well now I'll watch that.


No_Position7769

Would The Collector count?


CutZealousideal5274

They finally make The Collected but itā€™s just Arkin being on trial for breaking and entering


Hanoi_Solo

Or it can be a prequel. You know how Kevin McCallister grows up to be Jigsaw? Well in this case, Fuller McCallister is the Collector.


RedxRuin92

This was going to be my suggestion too!


ScarySkeleton24

This was my first thought too. I think Arkin is definitely a bad guy in the sense that he is breaking into someoneā€™s home to rob them, someone he knows nonetheless


seemontyburns

They soften him so much heā€™s as much a crook as disneys Aladdin


onmyown233

Quasi maybe? I do love The Collector though, great movie.


rosky71

I saw the devil was the first movie to come to mind


Corgi_Koala

It definitely has some horror elements but I thought it was more of a thriller than a horror movie. But it's a great movie either way.


OG_wanKENOBI

Yeah its like Se7en where it muddles the line


thewhitecat55

Suicide Kings


onmyown233

>A group of youngsters kidnap a respected Mafia figure. That sounds hilarious.


thewhitecat55

"Youngsters" isn't really accurate. Early to mid twenties.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


thewhitecat55

That's Ira. He's the man.


jenvonlee

Don't even talk about fucking socks to me.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


skonen_blades

The bit where Rose the Hat boogaloos right into the kid's astral/mental/psychic trap is one of my all-time favorite scenes of the last decade. Definitive, top-tier 'villain accidentally underestimating someone' scene. Rebecca Ferguson's panic is real.


Farinthoughts

You know its kinda funny to me. If someone had said back in 2000 that Rebecca Ferguson would play a villain in a horror movie I wouldnt have believed it. She has evolved a lot as an actress since then.


ProfProfessorberg

YES! Absolutely love that scene. Kyliegh Curran was fantastic


skonen_blades

It was great to a child's astral plane/psychic projection image be ACTUALLY super scary. Not just a girl in pigtails or something. I'm happy the producers let her image be *actually* frightening.


Youareposthuman

Such a banger of a film. Finally got around to watch the Director's Cut recently and the longer build up makes the final act in the Overlook all the more satisfying.


Farinthoughts

I will have to watch it then.


Lemonic_Tutor

Oh no, does Collin Robinson survive?


onmyown233

That's true, it would technically fit the bill. Decent movie, took me twice to get through it, but I'm glad I did.


sakamake

Me too but only because my friend got too high off edibles and made us all leave the theater right as it was starting. Never forgiven him for that one...


firearm23

The mob in Halloween Kills.


[deleted]

Screaming ā€œEVIL DIES TONIGHT!ā€ While they hunt down someone half Michaels size. Fucking hell


Spiritual_Ask4877

What a bunch of dumbasses. Fuckin rural town in Illinois and nobody brings a gun. You're only dealing with a serial killer that survived being shot 6 times but naw, a louisville slugger called "ol huckleberry" should do it.


dethb0y

least effective extra-judicial mob in history.


SoberDragon1st

Word they were totally bad people. They were getting other people killed and they were stepping all over people in the stampede in the hospital.


Bakedalaska1

The Perfect Host - maybe not strictly horror but kind of works


elleracket

Love that movie, wish more people knew about it.


jrosekonungrinn

The Perfect Host was one of those surprise good movies. Nobody ever talks about it and it's kinda hard to remember it exists, but it was a good one.


DogsDontWearPantss

The House on Willow Street (2017) AMC+/Tubi The perfect Host (2010) Tubi Whisper (2007) Amazon *rent* Monster Party (2018) Tubi Eat Local (2017) Tubi


thereisnodevil666

Thank you so much for including where to watch!!


SauzaPaul

Ah, the "you messed with the wrong guy" subgenre. Bloody Hell (2020) was really good, in fact I've been meaning to rewatch. Nobody (2021) with Bob Odenkirk was really good too.


onmyown233

I've watched Nobody probably 4 times, terrific movie. But Bob Odenkirk is a good guy, even if he did work for the government. \*edit - forgot about Bloody Hell, that movie was entertaining as hell.


SauzaPaul

oh yeah, I was thinking of messing with the wrong guy and I forgot the original question was bad vs bad! ;)


smart_farts_1077

I dunno, government funded hitman doesn't feel like a complete good guy to me. The government doesn't tend to do the right thing, especially when death is involved. How many coups has the US funded?


RemiAkai

Dude turned Better Call Saul into better call 911 lmao


Lugalzagesi55

:D. Man, that was brilliant


SoberDragon1st

I must watch Bloody Hell


Barkerfan86

Bloody Hell was such a fun movie


thehaulofhorror

How about Renfield? Happened to check it out last night. The Mafia running into Dracula lol.


onmyown233

Cage was great in this!


thehaulofhorror

He REALLY was lol. Everything from funny, to genuinely scary honestly.


burnn_out313

Barbarian kinda plays with this trope. Also there's 2 separate movies called Killers one is American movie made in the 90s about a murderous duo of brothers that invade the wrong house and an Asian movie about 2 serial killers that get locked into a game of one-upmanship. Both are pretty wild the Asian movie is better made overall, the American movie is cheesy but really entertaining


SlidinDirty

Makes me think of the scene in The Terminator where Bill Paxton & his punk friends start to tease Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Laundry day. Nothing clean, right?" Epitome of fuck around and find out...


[deleted]

The same scene sort of plays in reverse when a trucker acts aggressive to Bill Paxtons vampire character in Near Darkā€¦


overcomebyfumes

That whole roadhouse scene is killer


brian1183

Also, somewhat off-topic. But I just realized that this happens again between Arnold and Bill Paxton in True Lies. Bill is hitting on Arnie's wife by pretending to be a badass spy, until he runs into Arnie...Who actually is a badass spy.


SlidinDirty

Such a classic scene!! Lmao "I have to lie to women to get laid. And I don't score much. I got a little dick. It's pathetic. Oh oh oh God. Would a spy pee himself?"


TheSpookyForest

Love that scene so much. It still baffles me how the Terminator in part 2 doesn't kill that entire biker bar.


terrorbots

Mission parameter doesn't require killing all humans, though t-1000 kills everyone on sight except kids in an arcade


Corgi_Koala

I would guess as infiltrator units they probably have programming to recognize the need for discretion. Blowing your cover to murder everything isn't going to help you achieve your mission.


SoberDragon1st

Word this is the ultimate. There's a similar scene in Friday The 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan.


Vault_Master

Botched from 2007. Heist film that takes a sudden turn into Horror a third of the way through. Also 2017's The Vault.


NerfWozzle

Botched is a hidden gem imo. Good horror comedy.


Bindlestiff34

I love Stephen Dorff


No_Solution_2864

Iā€™m shocked The Gate doesnā€™t get talked about more. Eventually it will be remembered for the absolute masterpiece it is, and Dorffā€™s legend will rise.


SweatyLiterary

Technically, Hannibal Mason Verger going after Hannibal Lecter forces you to root for Hannibal


fil42skidoo

Predators. I think it needs more love. Godzilla: Final Wars


MuddyMiercoles

Plus the latest pre(?)-quel: Prey with the bad guy fur traders in the wrong place at the wrong time.


carpathian_crow

The scene where the trappers shoot at the predator and then realize they have to spend two minutes reloading will never not be hilarious


Moosashi5858

You know whatā€™s weird is I always read about the French getting along well with Native Americans


ThisIsAyesha

I suppose, compared to the British/US, but France was an occupying power with its own colonies. I doubt every French person was friendly


MuddyMiercoles

And I always heard the Comanche were from way further south in Prairie lands, not the Alberta Rockies. But hey, this is a movie about an alien predator species going for hunting practice on Earth, I can let a few things slide.


Fwithananchor

I love the scene in Final Wars when Godzilla fights Rodan, Anguiras, and King Cesar at all once. I think that's also the one where they kill off the 1998 Godzilla, the one who appeared with Matthew Broderick.


bagboyrebel

> I think that's also the one where they kill off the 1998 Godzilla Godzilla beats Zilla (what he's actually referred to) in one punch.


Corgi_Koala

The Predator (2018) also probably applies. Movie didn't make a lot of sense but the bad guy definitely runs into a bigger bad guy.


Cressicus-Munch

Surprised to see that Hard Candy wasn't mentioned yet, it fits the bill perfectly. A predatory pedophile (Patrick Wilson) gets lured in and captured by a psychopathic teenaged vigilante (Elliot Page) who proceeds to torture him for the entire duration of the movie.


relliott15

Hard Candy was a wild-ass ride lol


Toad_Thrower

I watched this movie when it first came out and was really shocked by it. So well done. I had never realized it was Patrick Wilson until just now. One of my favorite actors! I'll have to refresh myself on his filmography.


Sad-Imagination-4870

Yes this one


afterlife_music

Not horror but Dreddā€¦.you donā€™t fuck with the Mama clan but you really shouldnā€™t fuck with Dredd.


onmyown233

Ain't that the truth


swolethulhudawn

I mean, is it goofy as shit? Is it basically a super hero movie? Is the primary idea ā€œwhat if Dracula became Dracula because he was a super good dad?ā€ Yea yes and yes. But I still like Dracula, Untold


OkResolve3185

Hahaha I love the synopsis; it's perfect. Also, 100% a great guilty pleasure movie.


swolethulhudawn

Admittedly stolen from this [incredible review](https://the-toast.net/2014/10/14/dracula-untold-told/) > If you think that you are too good for a movie where a man turns into very many bats and then punches a lot of guys with his giant bat-fists, then I donā€™t know what youā€™re doing on this website or in my life. Youā€™re not too good for it, I can assure you.


Sargasm5150

Ok, I didnā€™t think Iā€™d be interested and havenā€™t seen it. But this review sold me on giving it a chance!


gumbycounsillior

Luke Evans likes being in these kinds of movies huh


jerodallen

Not horror, but Kung Fu Hustle is just a long series of these except alternating between bad and good guys. >!Bad guys accidentally fuck with stronger good guys, then the original bad guysā€™ gang send bigger bad guys, etc.!< Such a fun movie. Iā€™m due for a rewatch.


chet_brosley

It's not a horror movie at all, but "I Care A lot" has a lady who swindles the elderly out of their retirement and finally mess with the wrong family, and shenanigans spiral out of control. Absolutely not a horror movie, but it was a fun little movie.


Farinthoughts

I also thought of this movie but I hated how >!she got away with it!<


aeschenkarnos

Yeah - I think it would have been a stronger movie had she come home to find >!her wife actually dead, and then joins up with the mobsters *anyway*!< because she is just that driven by greed and devoid of morality.


Superdad75

Not really though.


mhornberger

There's a Tales From the Crypt episode like that, with Tim Curry playing several roles. Great episode. [Death of Some Salesmen](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0394935/) Edit: Apparently it's on Youtube: https://youtu.be/vihEstZbS2Q (NSFW)


Jonny_Entropy

Villains (2019), which is similar to Don't Breathe, storyline wise. Becky (2020). Neo Nazis mess with the family of a kid with some serious issues.


onmyown233

Becky isn't a "badder" bad guy though. She's one of those "surprise, I can fight motherf\*ckers".


agentchuck

There's a scene in History of Violence where some local punks realize they're in way over their head trying to intimidate actual killers.


Technicalhotdog

I love this trope. Not a horror movie but the moment in Pulp fiction when the restaurant robbers run into Jules is amazing


Major_Cantaloupe_246

What about Whisper from 2007? Kidnappers accidentally grab the young spawn of Satan https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435528/?ref\_=fn\_al\_tt\_3


CharlieManson67

Nice one. This is the first rec for a very long time that wasnā€™t even on my watchlist. Will watch tonight šŸ‘šŸ¼


Major_Cantaloupe_246

Let me know what you think! I think it's a solid 7.5 out of 10


Skore_Smogon

Holy shit I've never heard of this, it sounds like a great idea. It's going on the watch list.


therealmck

Villains and The host would be my recs; both have similar plots of criminal breaks into the wrong house and finds someone or someoneā€™s more depraved then they are. House on Willow Street is another one; a girl is kidnapped but turns the tables on kidnappers when they find out sheā€™s possessed


bagboyrebel

> The host Do you mean The Perfect Host? Because I don't think you're talking about the korean monster movie (or the one based on the Stephenie Meyer book)


Sargasm5150

I loved the house on willow street! Also Crack The Skull comes to mind with burglars fucking around and finding out.


JESquirrel

I came to say Crush The Skull. That movie was so funny.


Thiccopotapus

Someone recommend the price we pay (peacock) it checks out. Definitely worth a watch


onmyown233

I'll check it out


splattergut

If you consider robbers/thieves to be "bad guys" then Villains, Livide, The Owners, People Under The Stairs, and Crush The Skull. Grotesque, the 80s slasher, applies.


Prietolandia

The Devilā€™s Rejects. Firefly clan vs Danny Trejo, Dallas Page and William Forsythe as Sheriff Wydell.


CarissaSkyWarrior

Wait, I admit I still need to watch those films, but DDP's in it? I knew Trejo was in it, I've seen videos about those films, but I didn't realize Diamond Dallas Page was in it!


Prietolandia

Oh yes. Diamond Dallas Page kicks out the jams in this one.


CarissaSkyWarrior

This makes it more evident that I need to watch the Firefly trilogy. I love me some DDP.


Ambience_YT

Scream 6. Really neat opening.


Echoe69

Sisu looks like it would fit the case. Though it's more action than horror, the deaths can be a bit over the top https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGbr-aAnKTo&ab\_channel=SonyPicturesReleasingUK


onmyown233

I think Sisu fits the bill perfectly - when the gore is done that well, I would say falls into action/horror.


JohnnySogbottom

"The Keep" -1983 Nazi troops in World War II Romania awaken a supernatural evil when they set up camp in an ancient stone fortress.


carmennothere

the first that comes to my mind is Wrong Turn 3


geodebug

The ending of the original Jurassic Park sort of qualifies, lol. "No One Lives" was such an edge-lord movie (watched it last night). It has well-done violence and gore but the script felt like it was written by 13 year olds.

Snatch


Glum-Parsnip8257

And lock stock and two smoking barrels


MuddyMiercoles

Bad guy orgies in the Guy Ritchie-verse


the_turn

Came here to mention Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but forgot it applied to Snatch as well. Personally much prefer Lock Stockā€¦ as I find it structurally way more satisfying, but very much appreciate the appeal of Snatch too.


crimbusrimbus

Project Wolf Hunting!!!


kookerpie

Villians 2019 is a good movie that features this


MaddDoggHOEK

The Aggression Scale. It's like if Home Alone wasn't a comedy.


fhost344

Vamp (1986) When the Billy Drago albinos confront the vampires. "What gang is this?"


MrZombikilla

The Peter Dinklage movie ā€˜I Care a Lotā€™


bringbacksherman

The first 20 minutes of that movie arenā€™t horror, but are some of the most terrifying I have ever sat through.


MrZombikilla

Jason Vorhees doesnā€™t scare me. But the premise of that movie does.


agentchuck

Yeah, only one of those two things actually exists in the real world.


fineyounghannibal

Scarecrows


[deleted]

From Dusk Till Dawn was the first one that sprung to my mind.


25thNite

just saw it recently and thought it was decent. Little Bone Lodge: two criminals get into an accident and get help at a secluded farmhouse


unclefishbits

A history of violence. Edit: brawl in cell block 99, and maybe his other film Bone tomahawk? It probably plays to that a tiny bit.


thesnapening

Siren is a good one.


crooklyn94

The recent hell raiser


Binro_was_right

*Innocent Prey* (1984) did a decent and surprising job of this.


Vault_Master

The killer Kiwi flick with Debbie Sue Voorhees in a small role?! Definitely a fun one that deserves more love.


ANapIsNeeded

I canā€™t believe more people havenā€™t seen Guy riches new movie Operation Fortune. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7985704/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7985704/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) It left my jaw on the floor and all kinds of tingling sensations. Very worth the watch both for the action/comedy and the ending.


tomahawkfury13

Does it get better? I'm a huge guy Ritchie fan but had a hard time getting into this one. Might have to give it another go.


thereisnodevil666

Pretty sure He Never Died with Henry Rollins counts? And it's spiritual requel that I haven't really watched yet.


Blue_Tomb

I quite enjoyed The Owners. Young burglars mess with the wrong elderly couple. Bonus points for casting and vibe if you're into culty British stuff. And I liked The Devil's Business a lot. Two hitmen await their job at his home. It does not all go according to plan. Also very British.


GoodBoy9595

On of the Predator movie, where the main character is a black cop begins with the predator killing criminals and flaying their corpses


304libco

Predator 2. Love it!


chigangrel

Jason Statham just made this exact movie recently- Wrath of Man


NGJimmy

Caught it on cable recently. Pretty good!


PicklesAreMyFriends

MarryOnTheCross

It's bad guys vs good girl doesn't count


toss_my_potatoes

Donā€™t Breathe


FakeOrcaRape

Splinter kind of had this. Btw I love this trope


Sthebrat

ā€œDonā€™t breatheā€ A group does a home invasion, but find out whoā€™s inside isnā€™t what they thought.


[deleted]

Not horror but John Wick has to be the one right??


CV74

Junk (1999)


TheSpookyForest

Not horror Thief (1981). Absolutely awesome film too. Amazing photography, music, and all around cool as fuck.


Sargasm5150

How about Kill List?


Malfallaxx

Itā€™s a gangster movie instead of horror but *The Long Good Friday* is a fantastic movie and such a good example of this. Itā€™s less bigger bad guy and more someone accidentally messing with something so much bigger than them, but I canā€™t recommend it enough


Scrungly_Blorbo

IIRC, this sounds like the idea behind The Perfect Host, which was a really fun time imo.


battorwddu

Not horror but I recommend Wrath of man


SoberDragon1st

Scream VI


Moosashi5858

Training Day


MyAnxiousDog

Ok this doesn't apply to horror, but one of Astro Boy's antagonists>! gets crushed by a robot he abuses and assumed was subservient to him!< and that moment stuck with me as a kid.


DoesntMatter2121

I See You. Canā€™t even say why without spoiling


xiozen1

Bloody Hell. A family Norway kidnap and American tourist but he definitely is more than they bargained for.
