I just hate it when people put De Niro’s cartoonish Max Cady in these type of lists and completely ignore Robert Mitchum’s far more terrifying and far, far more realistic version. Not only that, I’d say the 80’s Cape Fear is one of Scorcese’s weakest movies and the original 60’s version is one of the single greatest crime dramas ever produced. Do yourself a favor and give that a watch. And Mitchum’s character in Night of the Hunter is even more sinister.

@@Stang2023exactly what I came to say. Too far from reality for me to feel any sense of dread or stakes in the film. Stacey’s character did not seem real at all. Compare that to No Country and Anton Chigurh, the entire film felt real and thus made the villain that much scarier as he was so meticulous and precise while moving around among normal people living their day to day lives.

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.

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. 🥶🥶🥶

Patrick Bateman does not qualify for this list, as the movie makes it intentionally vague as to whether he is psychopathic, or psychotic, which are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DISORDERS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ONE ANOTHER. The film suggests that he is psychotic, exhibiting signs of schizophrenia, and that he imagined the whole thing, which makes him NOT a psychopath. However, he could be co-morbid, as it is possible to be both psychopathic AND psychotic, but there is nothing in the film to suggest this. Psychopathic or not, he is definitely a narcissist though, that is certain.

Brian Cox's portrayal in Manhunter is far more realistic making him way scarier. Anthony Hopkins is like an over-the-top stereotypical Hollywood cartoon pantomime villain I could never take serious. I hate how the far superior movie Manhunter always gets overlooked :-)

yeah I think this list conflates psychopaths, sociopaths, and psychotics. pychopaths are born not made and have no remorse, and colonel kurtz, norman bates, hans becker, and the joker, were either psychotic, sociopaths or just plain snapped.

Michael Rooker as Henry. He''s cunning and will probably never get caught... and all you have to do is be his victim is be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

While not terrifying, two honorable mentions may be Max Zorin from A View to a Kill and Elektra King from The World is Not Enough, who in my opinion, are some of the most reprehensible Bond movie villains and both got exactly what they deserved.
