In The Devil's Advocate Al Pacino plays Jack Milton, a New York lawyer who turns out to be Satan. No, not figuratively, literally the Devil. In the movie, Keanu Reeve's character, Kevin Lomax, jumps at the chance to work for Milton. Bad decision. Milton eventually makes Lomax's wife go insane, and more or less ruins his life. I think its about time you did something nice for your boss, who happens not to be the Devil.

Yes, the Devil does indeed wear Prada. This wouldn't be a scariest bosses list without the most feared magazine editor in the movie world, Miranda Priestly. Her stare, her intensity, her ability to make Andy (Anne Hathaway) feel insignificant in every way; she's terrifying!

Jessup (Jack Nicholson) makes the list for his twisted views of what should be considered right when it comes to loyalty in the military. Under his command, two marines were ordered to kill their fellow comrade, Santiago, because he basically wasn't a very good marine.

Kevin Spacey's character, Dave Harken, in Horrible Bosses is basically a slave-driver. He forces Nick (Jason Bateman) to work sunrise to sunset, calls him out for being a minute late and blackmails him so he can't quit. Oh, also he shoots the guy he thinks his wife is cheating on him with. No wonder why Nick plots to kill him.

Glenn Close's character is a cutthroat boss at a newspaper in New York city. She is tough as nails and always just does what is going to make more money instead of waiting for the best story. This goes against Editor Henry Hacket's (Michael Keaton) attitude. They even get into a physical fight!

Parker (Sigourney Weaver) is the worse type of person. She steals her employee's (Melanie Griffith) idea and gives her no credit, because she is only a lowly secretary after all. She does get what she deserves, however, when she breaks her leg on a skiing trip, and Griffith's character forges ahead with her idea and pretends to be the boss.

Well, not many people can say that their boss tried to kill them, but Michelle Pfeiffer's character in Batman Returns can. Her character Selina Kyle was pushed out of a window by Shreck (Christopher Walken) after she discovered his plan to steal all of Gotham's electricity. It wasn't all bad though. She became Catwoman as a result and eventually killed Shreck.
