Red Stewart presents the most terrifying psycho performances in all of film…
Sociopathy is a mental illness that is as repelling as it is enticing. We all live in fear of some serial killer knocking down our door, yet we cannot help but be intrigued by the roots of it all. After all, what is it that causes someone to become so antisocial and lack empathy towards their fellow human beings?
Well, many movies have tried to tackle this question, though too often they simply falter to the generic good vs. evil route. Nonetheless, they have yielded some amazing performances from talented actors- performances that have gone on to be recognized as some of the greatest villainous acting in cinema.
