Religious Villains in Movies...

-Kevin Spacey in Se7en
-Villans in Da Vinchi Code
-Villans in Angels and Demons

Can yall please help me come up with two more examples, please and plus this could be a good topic for debates in this forum

That lady from the mist is the first that comes to mind…

I never thought of the villain in SE7EN as "religious".

Claude Frollo in every version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a heinous villain.

The guy who would whip his back....He's good actor now? I can't remember his name!

That's Mr. Jennifer Connelly (Paul Bettany).

Cheers mate. So, he is with Jennifer?.....lucky SOB! :D

Frailty, Children Of The Corn, Rosemary's Baby (or any films with the devil as the 'bad guy') The Night Of The Hunter. I can't think of any more atm.

Samuel L. Jackson does read passages from the bible in Pulp Fiction before taking care of business

Re: Religious Villains in Movies...
 

True, although Tarantino added in words not in the Scripture. Then again, that character seems to be turning a page in his life away from what could be called "villainy".

The balding dude from Inherit The Wind

^Mrs Carmody played by Marcia Gay Harden^


Then there's Christabella from Silent Hill played by Alice Krige.

Margaret White from Carrie, played by Piper Laurie could be classed as a religious villain.

Eli Sunday from "There Will Be Blood"? He was a pastor and had his own church :D

Re: Religious Villains in Movies...
 

I was going to mention him, but I couldn't remember if he was the bad guy or not. :D

Re: Religious Villains in Movies...
 

Well I think that he and Plainview both were villains(Plainview maybe was more of an antihero).

John Wood as The Bishop of Aquila in Ladyhawke. Okay, I liked the movie, but it's been years since I've seen it, so I totally had to look up his charcter's name. But he was evil and was the main bad guy.

Jorge de Burgos - The Name of the Rose

How about Dolph Lundgren's nutzoid preacher in the crapola Johnny Mnemonic
