The Best Latin Big Screen Bad Guys

CAPTAIN VIDAL

Sergi Lopez, Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

You expect the movie’s grotesque Pale Man creature to be hair-raisingly unsettling, but he is actually eclipsed by the film’s true villain: Captain Vidal, who sews up his own gaping face wound in cold blood, wears an all-too-neat military uniform (reminiscent of Nazi outfits) and treats both leftist rebels and his own step-daughter with the same cruel, murderous contempt. The man is a walking icepick.
