]]>Shutter Island is an exemplary movie that prays on the fear we all have of losing our minds. We feel as frustrated as Dicaprio as we try and suss what exactly is going on in the island’s infamous institution.
What is part of the game and what is our own paranoia? Who is part of the game and who is a just a bystander? The Game has more plot twists than Charlie Brooker’s notebook, and you’ll have no idea who is on whose side by the end of it.
Oculus is a real psychological thriller, and just as the characters have a hard time figuring out what is real and what isn’t, you will feel the same.
Darren Aranofsky is the master of the psychological thriller. His films have a habit of getting under your skin and Black Swan is a fine example of this. Watching Natalie Portman play a troubled ballerina who falls apart under the pressure of perfection messes with your head like nothing else.
Starring Shawshank Redemption’s Tim Robbins, Jacob’s Ladder is another thriller that toys with our sense of what’s real and what isn’t.
If you’re a fan of a dark detective story, Angel Heart is a hidden gem that follows a detective into a voodoo nightmare.
The Dark Knight subverted all expectations of what a superhero movie should be. What is most frightening about the movie is not the Joker and the threat he poses, but it’s the reflection that he paints of ourselves.
The SAW franchise went downhill quicker than one of his victims can say “Where the hell am I?!?” The original SAW movie, however, is a masterful psychological thriller that is more gripping than it is gory.

]]>Game composer Disasterpeace created a horror score that combines the eerie sounds of horror classics with modern, synthy twists.
Goblin’s film score for the original Suspira was superb. Thom Yorke’s score for the remake, however, was equally chilling.
John Carpenter handed the task of scoring his 1982 masterpiece The Thing over to Ennio Morricone. The score is admirable and remarkably anxiety inducing.
Riz Ortolani’s orchestral score for the gruesome 1980 horror is made disturbing thanks to the unsettling juxtaposition between the beautiful score and the grotesque events of the film.
Kryzysztof Komeda’s score for Rosemary’s Baby is melodic and innocent sounding. This creepily contrasts with the evil lingering in the movie.
Charlie Clouser’s SAW theme fits the dark and sinister basement setting of the movie perfectly. The score builds up suspense and then climaxes perfectly.
Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells” accompanies the horrifying exorcism scene. Oldfield was only 19 when he wrote it.
The mostly music-less film contains just two pieces of music. One of them is the strange and jarring track “In Heaven,” sung by the lady living in the radiator. It’s bizarre and intriguing, just like the rest of the feature.
Jerry Goldsmith’s theme for The Omen definitely helped the movie out at the box office.
Finally, John Cartpenter’s chilling synth theme for Halloween was amazingly composed in under one hour. Nonetheless, it remains one of the most iconic soundtracks of movie history and that’s why we’re putting it at number one.

]]>Played by Jack Nicholson, Jack Torrance is a suburban husband and father, but also The Overlook Hotel’s winter caretaker. Another side of his personality is that he is a psycho and murder and the king of creepy.
At first glance, he seems like a nice motelier, mama’s boy, but once the mask is pulled away we can see that it’s only madness beneath it. The famous Psycho scene of the shower curtain ripping, screeching sound and a knife lurching is iconic and it’s all thanks to Hitchcock’s brilliant creation of this man – Norman Bates (played by Anthony Perkins).
The iconic performance of Anthony Hopkins showed how effective a villain can be when presented as calm, intelligent but terrifying. Hannibal is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he is a charming man of high taste. Too bad that taste is in the human brains.
Black suit, dark sunglasses and an emotionless face on this man have the one and only purpose: to stop the rebellion. Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) is just an Al program in a virtual reality, designed as a human-hating weapon in the ultimate Man vs. Machines war.
Portrayed by Tobin Bell, Jigsaw is a cruel character who tests the other’s willingness to live through a psychopathic set of games. His victims seem like they don’t appreciate the life as much as they should, so he puts them into traps where they need to fight for their bare life. Do you want to play a game?
This supervillain has it all: a life story where he was kidnapped and raised by the god, he feels betrayed and he thinks he is doing good. While his brother Thor got the muscles and strength, Loki (Thomas Hiddleston) got the brains. He is charismatic, exciting, witty and keeps Marvel fans to want only more of him on the big screen.
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr (played by Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender) is cruel, violent and dangerous, but if you know the story of how his parents were killed in the holocaust and he had to survive by himself as a mutant chased by humans, maybe his idea of how two sapient species can’t live in the same world doesn’t sound so bad. He is so persuasive that you can hardly help yourself not to stand on his side.
Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) was born as Tom Marvolo Riddle and he is the most powerful Dark Wizard, so powerful that he was just one step away from conquering the wizarding world before Harry Potter stopped him. From the beginning to the end of the franchise, Voldemort embodied the perfect evil, he is so cruel that no-one dares to say his name, except his biggest enemy – Harry Potter.
This iconic villain is the face of Star Wars. He was born in slavery, he joined the Jedi Order that made him one of the most powerful Jedi ever, but turned to the dark side of the force. He was supposed to be the chosen one, but he used his powers to destroy every Jedi alive. Among the fans of the franchise, he became even more popular than the heroes in the Star Wars universe, so there is no wonder he is one of the best movie villains ever.
Casting Heath Ledger as one of the biggest Batman’s enemy got so much disapproval from the fans, but Ledger proved them wrong. He brought a new life to the Joker, making him maniacal and twisted psychopath, purely cruel, dangerous supervillain. Ledger’s performance was the only one ever to bring an Oscar to a superhero movie character, and got etched into our mid forever and got him at the top of our list of best movie villains.
