Kevin Spacey: "Seven" is one of the best portrays of a psychopath in film history. "WHAT'S IN THE BOX" was crazy ! And he won getting him to kill.
-
Rutger Hauer's character in 'The Hitcher' actually served as the inspiration for The Joker in The Dark Knight. It's also one of Christopher Nolan's favorite movies. Btw, these are NOT the most terrifying psychopaths in movies, these are only the most well-known ones. Even some well-known ones are shockingly absent such as Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, Lou from Nightcrawler, Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction etc. If this comment gets 100 likes, I will start listing each one, especially one psychopath who makes Heath Ledger's Joker seem like his Mickey Mouse compared to him.
-
Sir Anthony Hopkins definitely earned his Oscar for playing arguably the greatest movie villain and psychopath in film history.
-
Edward Norton, Primal Fear...
-
Schindler's List's Amon Göth should be up there. He was perfectly portrayed by Ralph Fiennes
-
Ben Kingsley's performance as Don in Sexy Beast is an all timer for unhinged performances. Such a genuinely unnerving character.
-
You forgot Scorpio in Dirty Harry. Even Andy Robinson physically flinched during filming
-
How on Earth did you miss Rosamund Pike's Amazing Amy? She deserves a number one or two on this list or any list of this type.
-
Dude, I don't know about De Niro, but Robert Mitchum's Max Cady had me sleeping with the lights on for months!
-
Where the hell is Rutger Hauer’s character John Ryder from The Hitcher (1986) ??!! That character is truly terrifying!
-
Patrick Bateman - American Psycho....Doesn't get more Psychotic than Trying to Feed a cat to an ATM.💁🏿♂️🐈 🏧
-
Norman Bates from 1960’s ‘Psycho.’ Impressive performance by Anthony Perkins. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
-
Oldie but goodie, Robert Mitchum’s chilling performance in ‘The Night of the Hunter’
-
Annie from "Misery" was certifiably bat-spit crazy. 💯🎉
-
Who else but Hannibal Lecter could top this list? Anthony Hopkins' performance was absolutely chilling.
-
Patrick Bateman was the most traumatizing Especially when he kills that street dog, we don't actually see it in close-ups, but hearing it yelping gave an idea of how much it suffered And the worst part is that it's not even certain whether it died on the spot or if it took hours to die out
-
A prequel to No Country for Old Men. Would be very intriguing. Simply called "Anton" or "Chigurh"
-
Hannibal has been my favourite villain since I was 8 years old. Brian Cox, Mads Mikkelsen also did amazing work portraying the character, even the actor who played the younger version in Hannibal Rising. Anthony Hopkins was just magic. Just the way he perfected that stare while talking to Clarice, especially in the scene shown here at 16:48 with the wide angle closeup, combined with his chilling stone cold demeanour. 🥶🥶
-
Norman Stansfield from Leon: The Professional should have made the list
