1) my favourite psychopathic character would have to be Kakihara from the Japanese film itchy the killer. this disturbing character is a sadomasochist meaning he enjoys torture as well as giving it. Also as a character he dresses a lot like the joker just with A bit of a grunge image. so it's very likely Heath ledger used Kakiharas appearance for inspiration. Also like the joker he has scars running across his cheeks but his scars open up like Gilles when he smokes. Kakihara is a bit like Ramsey in Game of Thrones just if Ramsey would do to himself what he did too his victims like Reak. Kakihara is the stuff of nightmares if hellraiser got hold of him he would probably enjoy it.
2) John Doe in the movie seven. what's so intriguing about this anonymous character and what makes him more dangerous then most psychos is he truly believes what he's doing is right. And his ability to rationalise what he does to his victims. He's also very intelligent and patient. Although his actions are vile and extreme through the course of the film you are made to see through his eyes. as you see this sick polluted and city full of scumbags and injustices. John Doe was a man who could take no more.
3) Hannibal) Hannibal used to be a therapist and he could see through anybody and psychologically play with peoples minds. He has piercing eyes like a Prana. And also like a prana he has a first for blood and will make artworks of his victims corpses and cannibalise people whether they are dead or living. he is also a genius manipulator.
4) Alex from clockwork Orange don't let is schoolboyish charm for you. His main hobbies are classical music violence and rape. And he enjoys insanity it's natural to him and in his nature. And he's obsessed with Mozart proving even psychos can have a brilliant taste in music.
5) Norman Bates psycho. Possibly the most famous movie psycho path of all time. And may of kicked off Americans obsession with serial killers. First impression Norman Bates seems like a kind innocent young man. But he's got some serious mother issues and is highly schizophrenic.
6) The joker from the dark Knight. The joker is a character who enjoys pure chaos and a **** load of firepower. and like Kakihara from itchy the killer he has a longing to Crosspaths with someone who is a challenge for him who potentially could bring an end to him. If the joker had it his way we would live in a world without rules.
7) Patrick Bateman American psycho. Bateman lives in a world of materialism and self obsession. and all of this in his life his job his wealth acts as a perfect disguise to mask what he really is which is a bloodthirsty serial killer Who enjoys abusing women and generally treating women like objects. And if his bloodthirsty nature isn't satisfied he feels on the edge of going on a rampage. he has a very unhealthy Outlook on people and is often envious of his co-workers if they have a better apartment or business card than he does. But through all the terror he causes. Having a great image good job and being considered a polite and insightful young man Is enough to raise doubts of him being a cold-blooded serial killer
8) Ramsey Bolton Game of Thrones. Ramsey is so sadistic that he is probably the most hated character in TV history and what he does to Theon conditioning him into beat dog Who answers by the name Reak is truly hard to watch
9) sugar from the film no country for old men. What makes this character so menacing is the lack of feeling about taking a life and the enjoyment he gets from his sadistic game of flipping a coin. His weaponry choices including an air tank which makes a frightening noise. But most of all its his appearance he looks like a pale faced Frankenstein with a creepy smile even his voice is enough to give anyone the creeps.
10) Max Katie Cape fear.
11) Micky and Maroly Natural born killers
12) David the guest
14) Negan The walking dead
15) Rick Grimes The walking dead. The reason I got him on this list is that when he made his first kill on the series you could see in his eyes that he took pleasure in it. And that's the funny thing people would say Shane was the psycho but when Shane killed for the first time he couldn't keep it together what he done. he even shaved off his hair and acted on edge. But Rick Grimes did not bat an eye. And if it went for his group that he has to protect he would be an all-out serial killer
So they're probably my top 15 movie psychopaths. originally I did want to include Roy from Blade Runner but I didn't for two reasons first being that he wasn't a evil psycho he just did evil things because he wanted to live and for his people to have A longer lifespan. And secondly because I wasn't including any characters with superhuman strength. But I remember watching blade runner as a kid and I remember thinking his character truly embodies fear. And that should be the ingredient to any movie psycho path an actor who can use his of her mannerisms to provoke fear and intensity to the scene. And so many actors fail to do this. and end up looking like there trying to hard like Jesse Eisenberg in Batman versus Superman or Jarod Leto in suicide squad.
