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.

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.

It's pretty obscure, but one of my favorites is Cliff, from Accident Man. Because he's an idiot, completely insane, but barely smart enough to hack people to pieces with an axe. And he's very good at it.

Norman Bates is not a psychopath. If you were to ask any psychiatrist or psychologist, they would tell you he is either psychotic, or suffering from DID, or both. Definitely not a psychopath.

Gary Oldman's Norman Stansfield in "Leon: The Professional" was sadly-overlooked here. Patrick Bateman is debatable, given that the film leaves it ambiguous as to whether he actually committed his crimes or if they were all in his head.

The real reason for the joker doing this is he cannot make batman laugh..that's he's nature if Hannibal predicts his mind.😅

For me it was Dennis Hopper, he was absolutely magnificent as Frank Booth. The complexity of his physique is incredibly scary.

Fun fact 11:00 Kevin Spacey negotiated that he not be included in any promotional material, trailer or the poster for the film. His reason was if you read the cast (Pitt, Freeman, Paltrow) and you realize that Pitt and Freeman are playing the detectives+Paltrow the wife, you would deduce that Spacey was playing the killer. When he shows up to turn himself in, it’s the first time the audience sees Kevin Spacey.

Actually technically Alonzo didn't plan to kill Jake right away. It was Jake refusing to take any money that made Alonzo make the phone call to Smiley. You can even hear him on the phone after that scene "yeah get the tub ready"

Lester is the biggest idiotic sense. He openly describes his ventures. No psych patient would ever describe past crimes. For they would never be able to engage in it again

Beyond the black rainbow is probably so crazy not only he kills his mom he hides himself in disguise

In “Training Day”. I didn’t even know he was psychopath until halfway thru

So many of these psychopaths had me notice that most of them had slicked back hair

Why didn't you let Hannibal hiss? That's the best part of that line!

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 :-)

Hannibal Lecter is the only one that I don't hate.

King Longshanks from Braveheart threw his son's lover out of a window. He had no problem with his own men being hit by arrows as long as the opposing men were also hit.

How on earth Ben from Man Bites Dog, didn’t make it to this list, is beyond my understanding.

I could get behind a psychopath like Hannibal Lecter, but not the boys in Funny Games.

Patrick Bateman is just a misunderstood individual, definitely not a psychopath.

Heath Ledger's Joker brang new meaning to the villain itself

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.

How can the Devils rejects not be on this list and high at that. Otis Driftwood was the more psychotic than anyone on this list.

I’ve seen bits of Funny Games, I’ve not seen M, The Strangers and Kiss Of Death.

Wow Hannibal lecter is the psychotic no. 1 😅 here's a thing if he's smart enough to know the mind of a joker. What's he after and so obsessed and fixated towards batman despite terrorizing destroy and burn the world to the ground.

I knew Anthony Hopkins' _Hannibal Lecter_ was going to be number one. When that movie was in theaters I had no interest in seeing it but once it came out on VHS (which was the style at the time) my younger brother insisted that I watch it (I had to like *_EVERYTHING_*_ he_ liked, though I don't for the life of me know why) and it was as dull as I suspected. Robert De Niro is far more terrifying as _Max Cady_ in "Cape Fear".
