* Frank from ''Film/{{Hellraiser}}''. First, he has an affair with Kristy's stepmother, making Kristy's father's marriage an unhappy one. Later, he causes the horrible death of Kristy's father. Not to mention that it's shown that the novelty of doing it with the stepmother had worn off for him... and he's shown to take ''very'' well to the idea of [[CreepyUncle turning his attentions to Kirsty]]. Numerous times, he's shown trying to rape her, including a scene where they ''[[{{Squick}} kiss]]''.
* Bo Baker's Uncle Bill from ''Film/HighStakes'', an abusive asshole who gave Bo his job at his news station just so he could have someone to kick around when he wasn't popping pills or drinking.
* Kevin's Uncle Frank in ''Film/HomeAlone'' treats him quite poorly, and shows no emotion when his parents leave him behind accidentally. In the sequel, he hasn't changed much, although he does mellow slightly by the end.

* ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar'': The big twist is that [[spoiler:Freya's baby son was not [[OffingTheOffspring killed by his father]], but rather Freya's sister, Ravenna, who manipulated the events to bring out Freya's ice powers]].
* Jason Voorhees is upgraded into one in ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' as he suddenly has more relatives and has to possess one them to return back to life properly. Oddly, when given the chance he ignores his niece and tries to possess his ''grand''-niece instead.
* In ''Film/LegendOfTheBlackScorpion'', due to being an adaptation of ''Hamlet''. Uncle kills father, takes power, tries to kill nephew.
* In ''Film/TheLibrarian 2'', Flynn's Uncle Jerry is a lovely man who Flynn idolised growing up until TheReveal when he becomes a SmugSnake out for revenge [[spoiler: and is revealed to have killed Flynn's father.]]
* In ''Film/TheNorthman'', the BigBad is Prince [[Literature/GestaDanorum Amleth]]'s uncle Fjölnir, who [[YouKilledMyFather murdered his father]] and [[TheUsurper usurped his throne]] with the Scandinavian legend the story was based on being what ''[[TropeMaker inspired]]'' ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''.
* Dastan's uncle in the ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'' movie. [[spoiler:His ultimate goal is to turn back time so that he can let his brother die as a teenager and reign in his stead.]]
* ''Film/{{Purgatory}}'': Sonny's uncle, a ruthless bandit and rapist. In the end he tries to gun his own nephew down.
* Uncle Charlie from the film ''Film/ShadowOfADoubt'' is one of the first major examples of a psychopath in cinema and a very [[CreepyUncle creepy]] and evil uncle.
* In ''Film/{{Stardust}}'', TheReveal is that [[spoiler:the scheming and fratricidal Seven Princes of Stormhold]] were actually Tristan's uncles. They're not the primary villains, though. This is more obvious in TheFilmOfTheBook.
%%* There's the obligatory Evil Uncle in ''Film/StrangeBrew'', but that's really just because it's a humorous retelling of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''.
%%* Played effectively by Judith Anderson in ''Film/TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers''.
* The Fallen is this to Opimus Prime in ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'', although there might be a few greats in there, how many generations separate the two isn't made clear.
* Sam Harper of ''Film/UncleSam'' is a sadistic door gunner who was shot down in Iraq, and to the horror of the rest of the Harper family goes on a psychotic murder spree from the grave.
* ''Film/UncleSilas'' is a 1947 Gothic Melodrama in which the eponymous uncle played by Derrick de Marney seeks to wrest Jean Simmons' inheritance from her.

* Prince John is Philip of Cognac's evil uncle in ''Film/PrincessOfThieves'', and plots to keep Philip from ascending the throne.
