I didn't see Major Henry West as a villain. I saw him as a leader trying to survive and save the human race(remind you of someone?). He was a far more a villain in films like Othello, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising and Shallow Grave. Major Henry West was just trying to serve and protect when no one else bothered. I consider him a hero but it seems Just Press Play has ranked him this year's #3 on their Most Underrated Villains List…

A lot of bad dudes have emerged from zombie pictures over the decades. In fact, sometimes they seem to be an even larger threat than the zombies themselves (it’s almost as if there’s some sort of message they’re trying to send in these movies…). But the absolute worst of the bunch has to be Major Henry West, the deranged military leader played with just the right manic zeal by Christopher Eccleston, who unfortunately has not done a horror film since. Power hungry maniacs are nothing new to movie villains, but it takes at least five kinds of crazy to point out the elephant in the room when it comes to dystopian futures. Those of you who have seen the movie probably know what I’m talking about. Full Story
