2. Salma Hayek – From Dusk Till Dawn

Salma Hayek recently made headlines with her contemporary drama piece, Beatriz at Dinner, about the rise of sociopolitical and racial tensions at a wealthy man’s dinner party. The Oscar-nominated actress has usually kept to the more dramedy-type roles throughout her career, but has occasionally supplied the masses with truly horrifying and disturbing performances. One such instance is in Robert Rodriguez’ action-horror feature written by Quentin Tarantino, From Dusk Till Dawn, where she performs one of the most memorable dance scenes in movie history as the infamous Santanico Pandemonium. Seducing Quentin Tarantino and appealing to his widely-known foot fetish, the dancing Hayek seems insidiously playful, until revealing her truly repugnant vampire form. The transformation from sexy stage dancer to vile vampire freak shows Hayek to be a truly adept performer capable of taking on even the most extremely vile movie character roles.

1. Megan Fox

While it is no secret that Megan Fox has garnered a reputation for taking on movie roles more showcasing of a starlet’s physique, one can’t deny that she has given some unforgettably disturbing movie roles, most notably her role as Jennifer in Jennifer’s Body. Starring as Jennifer, the popular high school queen, Fox vocalizes incredibly hilarious one-liners and utilizes her looks in a rather comical manner as a demon that eats boys attracted to her. Although it is the demonic behavior that really sells the horror in Fox’s performance, it’s hard to deny that her pre-demon role was also quite disturbing, an example being her childish banter between her and a younger lesser known Chris Pratt, in which she shows herself to be “disturbingly” immature (although the immaturity definitely exemplified the chemistry between her and A-list comedy/action star, Chris Pratt.)
