【Super Virgin (2012)】
It’s Villain Week here at Mashable. In honour of the release of Venom,Super Virgin (2012) we’re celebrating all our favourite evildoers from film and TV all week long. Spooky, scary!
Warning: Contains blood-splattered spoilers for Killing Eve.
Creating a character that's genuinely terrifying is probably just as hard as creating one that's genuinely funny. But creating one that ticks bothof those boxes is truly impressive.
Enter Villanelle, the highly eccentric -- and highly unnerving -- assassin from the BBC's recent thriller Killing Eve.
Played expertly by Jodie Comer, Villanelle manages to switch from funny to frightening in the blink of an eye -- and she's all the more scary for it.
Here are some of her most memorably terrifying moments...
1. The time she demonstrates what happens to people who annoy her.
