Are you referring to the way that Paul Sheldon wrote the last Misery novel that made Annie "snap", CD? If so, then I agree. What I meant was her love and adoration for Sheldon taking a "sadistic turn" at that point in the novel written by King, s'all. 😉

Hannibal Lector wasn't a psycho, per se, given he was a professor before hand, he just had a dark side that he hid very well.

No no no no no NO! You will noticed that when most physcos are discovered its a huge surprise. A true sign of a physco is he or she is able to hide it from even their closest relatives and friends.

That is exactly what Lecter did. He hosted a dinner party to his colleauges and served them human flesh, complimentys of Benjamin Raspell of the orchestra in which Lecter found Raspell's musician's skills less than necessary.

The definition of a psycho, is someone who does not have the capacity to feel compassion or feelings for other human beings and their suffering, a person who has no conscience(sp?). IMO Lecter would definetly come under this category, also due to the fact that he cut the top of Ray Liottas head off and cooked and served him his own brain, that sounds pretty psychotic to me 😂

the woman from misery was definetly a psycho

Actually Lecter isn't a real phsycopath if you want to be technical. He is a pure example of a sociopath. The main difference between the two is what makes Lecter soo evil. A Physcopath doesn't know or believe what he is doing is wrong, a sciopath does know he is doing something wrong he just doesn't care.

sorta like keanu reeves in watcher

Beta-Wolf: A sociopath is just a more polite way of saying psychopath. They changed the name... same meaning when it comes to psychology.

you cant beat Jack in The Shining

Carrie is a crazy ass *****

I said Jack cuz who tries 2 kill thier wife n son cuz a freakin hotel told em to?

I saw the last 45 min or so it was completely different from the book.........not too sure but i beleive i liked the book way a lil better

Hmm, I'd say it's a tie between Anthony Hopkins and Jack Nicholson...for me at least.

Robin Williams' character on One Hour Photo was more along the lines of "dangerous obsessive" rather than flat-out psycho. Harldy worth a mention, IMO.

How about the Red Dragon or Buffalo Bill

You mean the actors who portrayed them? Ralph Fiennes did good as Francis Dolarhyde, The "Tooth Fairy", with the psychosis and the fixation on "The Dragon", but Ted Levine, IMO, did far better as Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.

No, they are two different but very similar mental disorders.

Yes, Anthony Hopkins is definitely a good psycho

Hopkins deffinitly. Silence of the Lambs was based on a true story, he captured the feel of intelligent insanity perfectly. He was more then just a guy with a machete or someone with troubles, he was a downright villain who if given the oppurtunity could really make your life hell..
