Evilest Act: Having her body taken over by Zuul, she pants and moans and attempts to bring about the end of the world by copulating with dweeby neighbour, Louis Tully.

The Turnaround: When the Ghostbusters send doomsday-bringer Gozer back to its own world, Dana is released from the shackles of Zuul and duly makes out with Venkman.

Julianne Potter (My Best Friend's Wedding)

Evilest Act: Following the announcement of her best friend Michael’s wedding, she cooks up a plan to sabotage it on the basis of a what-if-we-aren’t-married-when-we’re-28? scenario the two hatched when they were kids.

The Turnaround: The flame-haired temptress finally bishes when Michael doesn’t kiss her back, as he insists he loves his fiancee Kimmy. She takes off her meddling cap and behaves like a grown up by slow dancing with her gay best friend.

Nikki Finn (Who's That Girl?)

Evilest Act: Fresh out of the slammer with an obvious desire to return as soon as possible, she shoplifts, plants merchandise on an unsuspecting bystander and hijacks a car, before engaging in a car chase with the police. Then lies to them about why she was speeding.

The Turnaround: Determined to frame the man responsible for her wrongful incarceration she dramatically shows up at a wedding, exonerates herself and identifies the real murderer with proof. And befriends a tiger called Murray.

Tiffany (Bride Of Chucky)

Evilest Act: Taking a leaf out of Martha Stewart’s book, she improvises a homicide and kills the meddling Police Chief Kincaid by orchestrating a catapult of nails to his face.

The Turnaround: Stabbing Chucky in the back as he is on the cusp of transferring their hateful pint-sized selves into the bodies of youngsters Jesse and Jade.

Wanderer (The Host)

Evilest Act: As a member of an amoebic alien race, setting up shop in the body of a young girl against her wishes is pretty darn evil. Especially as she wastes a perfectly good opportunity to do something reckless. Like a canyon swing.

The Turnaround: Spending time around humans instils her with a conscience, so she agrees to give up her body....even if it means she dies! *sob*
