10 worst movie parents that make the orphanage seem like a not-so-bad place (12 photos)

And the honorary title “parent of the year” is awarded... definitely not to these people! These are the ones whose parental instincts work intermittently, or even switch to such a mode that it’s better to be an orphan





We invite you to familiarize yourself with our selection of failed fathers and mothers from movies who posed a clear threat to their children, which is revealed in the plot of these films.

And be careful, there are a lot of spoilers here!

Margaret White



From the film Carrie (1976). She clearly went too far with religious overprotection. And then she decided that only a knife would correct such an unrighteous daughter.

Jack Torrance





From The Shining (1980). He wanted to kill his son (and his wife) with an axe.

Darth Vader



From Star Wars. He cut off his son’s hand and only then confessed his paternity to him. You remember Luke Skywalker's reaction. If not, then it sounded like this:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Suzanne and Bill



From the film “Divorce in the City” (2012). After a divorce, a rock star and a businessman each try to keep their common daughter for themselves, not out of love for her, but to annoy each other. As a result, neither one nor the other gets the girl.

Kate and Peter McCallister



From Home Alone. We lost our son, finding ourselves with him in different cities, and TWICE IN THREE YEARS.

Annie Graham





From the film “Reincarnation” (2018). She tried to kill her son several times, and in a very frighteningly persistent way. Head banging on the attic door is extremely odd maternal behavior.

Yes, some of the parents in the selection were possessed by various types of evil that possessed them. We highlight this point for all such horror mothers. Which others can you think of?

Mr and Mrs Wormwood



From the film "Matilda" (1996). They were so uninterested in their daughter and generally terrible that the ending of the film, where a 7-year-old girl goes to live with a school teacher (who adopts her), is presented as a happy ending.

Beware, the next paragraph contains a particularly pronounced spoiler!

Grace Stewart



From the film "The Others" (2001). She killed her children and even in the next world sickened them with overprotection.

Ego



From the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Part 2" (2017). He sired many children to find the ideal heir, but in the end he was disappointed in all of them and killed them. One of his children was the main character of the film, Quill, and he would have been perfect for the role of heir, but he learned that Ego killed his mother. A disgusting father on a universal scale!

Ironically, the role of Ego was played by Kurt Russell, who is considered one of the most exemplary fathers in Hollywood.

Well, the worst thing in the end.

Corinne Dollanganger-Foxworth and Olivia Foxworth



From the film “Flowers in the Attic” (1987). A sudden and sinister union between mother and grandmother. The latter, by the way, was played by Louise Fletcher, known for her role as Sister Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And this adds darkness to the film.
