00:00Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español, I am G, today we will meet the most terrifying and threatening psychopaths in the cinema, we exclude superhuman slashers like Jason and Michael in an attempt to keep things more realistic, in addition, some spoilers are coming.
00:31Number 20, Mr. Blonde, Reservoir Dogs.
00:41It seems that Mr. Blonde does not even care about the money, he just wanted to kill cops. This is a movie full of criminals that talks about a gang of thieves who have just failed in a robbery, even these trained murderers qualify Mr. Blonde as an uncontrollable psychopath.
01:01Brilliantly played by Michael Madsen, Blonde kidnaps a cop, dances playfully while he cuts his ear and tries to burn him alive, even after he tells him that he has a son at home. He lacks empathy and performs extreme acts of violence with great joy, when even the most evil criminals are afraid of you, you know you're a little crazy.
01:24Number 19, Gordon Gekko, Wall Street.
01:27You can be a psychopath without killing anyone, in fact the financial sector is full of them and studies suggest that a disproportionate number of business leaders show signs of clinical psychopathy. Gordon Gekko is an excellent example of this type of person, according to him greed is good and that belief is obvious in Wall Street.
01:53Greed is right, greed works.
01:57According to the FBI profiles in the documentary of Channel 4, Psychopath Night, Gordon is one of the most realistic fictitious psychopaths, shows features of superficial charm, manipulation and a lot of self-esteem, all included in the list of clinical psychopathy verification. He just wants money and power, and he doesn't care about affecting others to get it.
02:17The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperate they want it. Capitalism at its finest.
02:27Number 18, Alonso Harris, Training Day.
02:31Alonso Harris is the worst kind of cop, he exerts his power over society to manipulate and control people. As one of the most terrifying and corrupt officers in the cinema, Alonso's psychopathy is horribly well represented by Denzel Washington, who won an Oscar for his interpretation.
02:48Persona, you can match what's in your head with what's going on in the real world, the better you're gonna feel.
02:57Alonso is in debt with the Russian mafia and plans to kill the new recruit Jake Hoyt to steal money and clear his account. In his attempt he commits several crimes, such as domestic violence, armed robbery and multiple murders. He is a criminal with a badge and uses it constantly for his benefit.
03:15Shit, you can shoot me, but you can't kill me.
03:19Number 17, Peter and Paul, Funny Games.
03:23You don't want to bet.
03:26I can't, I have to bet.
03:29What do you mean? Do you think you have a chance to win?
03:32Funny Games is a provocative film by director Michael Haneke, which has aroused controversy for its violence.
03:38It asks viewers to be accomplices of what is shown on screen, of the actions carried out by two young psychopaths known only as Peter and Paul.
03:47These two break into George and Anna Schauber's retirement home, forcing them to play, but it's not funny at all.
03:55Hello, how are you?
03:56Hello, how are you?
03:57Everything under control?
03:58Looks like it.
04:02May I?
04:03Please, go ahead.
04:04They keep the family hostage and subject them to abusive sick ways before killing them all.
04:11No more reason than pure fun.
04:14They are real psychopaths, indifferent, unkind and totally crazy.
04:20Number 16, Catherine Tramell, Basic Instinct.
04:25In the criticized and often ignored second film, Dr. Michael Glass officially diagnoses Catherine Tramell as a psychopath.
04:33She shows narcissistic traits, a divine omnipotence and an addiction to risk, which leads her to seek danger only out of emotion.
04:42Did you kill Mr. Boss, Ms. Tramell?
04:44I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing and then kill somebody the way I described it in my book.
04:50I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid.
04:53Played by the sex symbol of the 90s, Sharon Stone, Catherine is the perfect fatal woman, beautiful but dangerous.
05:01She's not only a prolific serial killer, but also a very skilled manipulator who incriminates others for their crimes and constantly works to exploit a police detective.
05:12She's a simple desire for power and everything works, because she gets away with it.
05:17I suppose you still think I kill people too, right?
05:21No.
05:24Liar.
05:25Number 15, Hans Beckert, M.
05:28Enormously influential in the police genre, M. The Fritz Lang is one of the first examples of legal drama.
05:35He talks about Karl Lachman, an officer who chases a dangerous serial killer, Hans Beckert, who chooses young victims and kidnaps them in the street.
05:45You're not going anywhere!
05:47Go, go, faster!
05:54You're not going anywhere either!
05:56Peter Lorre is magnificent on paper, and he was framed as a villain for years.
06:02So terrifying is his interpretation of a despicable and violent man.
06:07Hans Beckert is one of the first examples of a cinematographic psychopath, and yet he is still one of the most terrifying.
06:15You're not going anywhere!
06:22Number 14, Henry, Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer.
06:27We go from one serial killer to another, only this one is vaguely inspired by real life.
06:32Michael Rooker plays Henry, a nomadic killer who attacks people with his crime partner, Otis.
06:39Although the character is vaguely based on Henry Lee Lucas, most of the events of the film are fictitious or very exaggerated.
06:47Say that again.
06:49I'd like to kill somebody.
06:51That means you go for a ride, Otis.
06:54He was the subject of much controversy at the time, and was even classified as X due to graphic violence.
07:00It is still scandalous today, even in an era in which violence in the cinema has become more extreme.
07:06This is largely due to the disheveled realism of the film, which describes Henry's horrible crimes in a very convincing and not very cinematic way.
07:16Tell her you're sorry.
07:18Okay, I'm sorry.
07:20Now, tell her you won't do it again.
07:22I won't. I swear, Becky, I swear I won't.
07:25Number 13, Colonel Walter Kurtz, Apocalypse Now.
07:29Kurtz only appears in the film for about 20 minutes, and most of this time he is shrouded in shadows.
07:35However, he is still one of the most emblematic villains in cinema thanks to his brutal actions, his psychotic philosopher, and of course the hypnotizing interpretation of Marlon Brando.
07:47You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill.
07:58After abandoning the army, Kurtz leads a sect in the jungles of Vietnam, and acts as a divine guide to his violent followers.
08:06He orders them to commit atrocious acts of violence without any consideration for human suffering, and he believes that conventional morality does not apply in him.
08:15And that's not to mention the sadistic exhibitions of his victimized victims.
08:20Just by listening to it for a minute, you already know everything you need to know.
08:24Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared.
08:34Number 12, The Strangers.
08:38After a brutal night of violence and intrusion, the traumatized Kristen McKay asks her attackers why they chose her as their target.
08:47They give her a terrifying but concrete answer.
08:50Because you're home.
08:52These three strangers stalk Kristen and James for no other reason than their own enjoyment.
08:58And that includes breaking into a house and trying to kill them.
09:02The film is inspired by the infamous murders of Tate LaBianca in 1969, which were also largely unfounded and directed by one of the most notable psychopaths of our time.
09:14As Billy The Scream would say.
09:16It's a lot scarier when there's no motive, Sid.
09:19Number 11, Tommy Udo, Kiss of Death.
09:22The world of cinema is full of sadistic mafiosos, but few are as traumatized as Tommy Udo.
09:29Tommy, the main antagonist of this film, is an evil drug lord, unpredictable and incredibly intelligent.
09:36Both traits combine to make him an astute psychopath, since he kills his victims without remorse and then covers everything with the help of his experience.
09:49You know what I do to Squirt?
09:54His most infamous scene, in which he happily pushes a disabled woman down some stairs, sums up his sadism well.
10:01He doesn't care who he hurts, and he would do it just to laugh.
10:05Then, of course, he covers it all up.
10:08There was a Squirt says he seen me bending over Larry Young right after he was plugged.
10:15Then he says he ain't sure it was me he seen.
10:18Number 10, Max Cady, Cape Fear.
10:22Robert De Niro usually plays antiheroes, but like Max Cady, he goes deep into the villains' territory and offers us a fantastic interpretation, with which he got his sixth Oscar nomination.
10:34Max is a detestable human, who was imprisoned for aggression.
10:38Now, free, he harasses his own lawyer, who hid evidence for reasons of morality and justice.
10:49Max embodies the chilling mix of intelligence and morality of the psychopath, not to mention his unbreakable desire for violence.
11:00Either through a complex psychological war, bad taste jokes, manipulation or simply murder, he will get his revenge by any means necessary.
11:11Forget about that restraining order, counselor! You're well within 500 yards!
11:17Number 9, Frank Burt, Blue Hair.
11:20David Lynch has conceived some of the most terrifying scenes and characters in cinema, but Frank Burt is his masterpiece.
11:28Considered one of the best villains in the history of cinema, he is a psychotic drug dealer who shows a double personality after inhaling an unknown gas.
11:40You're from the neighborhood?
11:43Yeah.
11:45You're a neighbor?
11:48Well, what's your name, neighbor?
11:50He is also obsessed with sex and visits quite strange places to get it.
11:55His dominance over others through fear and manipulation illustrates a profound distancing from social norms, and challenges our feeling of security and comfort in the American suburbs.
12:08Monsters exist everywhere, and that in part is what makes Frank Burt so terrifying.
12:16You're like me.
12:17Number 8, Alex DeLarge, The Mechanical Orange.
12:21The main question of The Mechanical Orange is if we can mix morality and if it is the right thing.
12:27The subject both literally and figuratively is Alex DeLarge, a young psychopath who is dedicated to the old ultraviolence in the futuristic Great Britain.
12:37I bet you've got little, say, pitiful, portable picnic players.
12:41Come with uncle and hear all proper.
12:44Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones.
12:47You are invited.
12:49Alex and his rogues walk around the decadent country, committing acts of unjustified violence and hurting others for pleasure.
12:58Then there is the Minister of the Interior, who hopes to cure Alex of his psychopathy and submits him to the infamous Ludovico technique.
13:05He's perfect. I want his record sent to me.
13:08This vicious young hoodlum will be transformed out of all recognition.
13:12Alex is one of the most terrifying psychopaths in cinema.
13:15A young man who enjoys his mental and physical tortures, and sings happily while he does it.
13:21Number 7, John Doe, Seven.
13:24I tried to play husband.
13:26I tried to taste the life of a simple man.
13:30Go away!
13:31It didn't work out.
13:33Serial killers are scary.
13:35Smart serial killers are even scarier.
13:38And we don't even know how to classify a smart serial killer who commits his murders according to the Bible.
13:44That's exactly what John Doe does, because he commits his crimes according to the seven capital sins.
13:50Naturally, this type of behavior shows a high degree of psychopathy.
13:55Not only for the murders themselves, but also for the planning that requires conceiving the themes and ideas.
14:02John also shows a complex of unjustified superiority,
14:05because he thinks he's cleaning society and establishing a declaration about the inherent sin to the world.
14:11Of course, he doesn't see the irony.
14:14You tell me, you tell me, that's not true, that's not true.
14:17Become vengeance, dude.
14:18Ah, she's alright, you tell me.
14:20Become wrath.
14:22Number 6, Patrick Bateman, American Psycho.
14:26It's explained in the title.
14:28Patrick Bateman is American, and without a doubt, he's a psychopath.
14:32This dark satire reminds us of Wall Street's criticism,
14:35and how the financial sector houses a disproportionate number of clinical psychopaths.
14:51Patrick is a Wall Street yuppie, excessively greedy and also upset,
14:55since he's a serial killer whose goal is women and keeps parts of their bodies as sick trophies.
15:02His superficial charm and his high society facade mask a deeply rooted sadism,
15:08making us question the true nature that hides behind the masks that people wear every day.
15:15I don't find this funny anymore.
15:17It never was supposed to be.
15:19Why isn't it possible?
15:21It's just not.
15:22Why not, you stupid bastard?
15:24It's a shell that masks the lack of soul with money, clothes and robotic musical criticism.
15:31The pleasures of conformism.
15:33Number 5, The Joker, The Dark Knight.
15:36Some men just want to watch the world burn.
15:40You know what they say.
15:42Alfred Dione the Clown summarized the Joker and all his philosophy in less than 10 words.
15:48Many wonderful actors have played the clown over the years,
15:52and each one gave it a unique twist.
15:54But most will agree that Heath Ledger's version is the best of all.
15:59A perfect representation of his twisted morality, sick joy and ferocious intelligence.
16:13The Joker lives for chaos, enjoys anarchy and puts Garden City in a complete mess.
16:20It's always fascinating when the villain is the smartest character,
16:24and that could be the case with the Joker.
16:36Number 4, Annie Wilkes, Misery.
16:39Stephen King loves supernatural monsters,
16:42but he has also created incredible human villains like Annie Wilkes,
16:47Misery's disturbed antagonist.
16:58Annie keeps kidnapping writer Paul Sheldon
17:01and asks him to rewrite the end of her series of Misery novels.
17:05Not only does he get angry when he discovers that Misery's character dies,
17:09but he also ties Paul to the bed,
17:11keeps him prisoner in the house
17:13and even breaks his ankles to make sure he doesn't move.
17:17By exaggerating Annie's actions,
17:19King seems to make a criticism of the often malicious nature of fans,
17:23of their demands to the creators
17:26and their inclination for anger when things don't go the way they want.
17:30Luckily, most fans are not psychopaths.
17:36That's very sweet of you.
17:38Number 3, Anton Chigurh, No Country for Old Men.
17:42Llewelyn Moss steals a suitcase full of money from a cartel
17:46and Anton Chigurh receives the order to kill him and get it back.
17:49Thus begins an odyssey of violence
17:52in which he gets rid of anyone who gets in his way.
17:561958.
17:58It's been traveling 22 years to get here.
18:01And now it's here.
18:03And it's either heads or tails.
18:05Unlike other psychopaths on this list,
18:07Anton is not interested in getting along with people
18:10and he doesn't hide behind a mask of kindness.
18:13He is nothing more than an empty robot who is blinded by his work,
18:16murders people and remains completely indifferent while he does so.
18:20According to a study published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences,
18:24Chigurh is the most realistic representation of a psychopath in the history of cinema.
18:28He seems supernatural, but he's just a human.
18:31And that's why he's so scary.
18:43Number 2, Norman Bates, Psychosis.
18:45Only a psychopath has a movie with the name of his disorder
18:48and that's Norman Bates.
18:50The owner of the Bates Motel
18:52has a calm behavior and a cheerful appearance
18:55that mask a torrent of disturbances.
19:10At first he gets along with Marion Crane,
19:12invites her to dinner and is very cheerful and polite.
19:15And then he stabs her in the shower.
19:18His simple personality is an important feature of psychopathy,
19:21which challenges our ability to discern the genuine normality
19:24of pathology and dangerous manipulation.
19:27Norman is the most dangerous type of psychopath,
19:30the one who loves you with his ingenuity and smile,
19:33just before stabbing you.

20:00Number 1, Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs.
20:04When Clarice meets Hannibal Lecter,
20:07he tells her that once he killed an innocent man,
20:09opened him and ate his liver with a glass of wine.
20:12It's all you need to know about him.
20:19I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
20:24He is the psychopath par excellence,
20:26a mixture of a very high degree of intelligence,
20:29a superficial charm and a total lack of empathy.
20:32Although he may seem good when he helps Clarice,
20:34he only does it because he gets something in return.
20:37He is a disturbing juxtaposition,
20:39a cult man and a complete monster that crosses his victims,
20:43both figuratively and literally.
20:46A serial killer, brilliant cannibal and strategist,
20:49Hannibal is the most terrifying psychopath of all.
