Other movies about manipulative psychopaths/sociopaths?


I love movies like this! Anyone know of others?

The most obvious choice that comes to mind, is The bad Seed. But you’re probably familiar with that one, and have likely already seen it. It looks like they remade it in 2018, with Rob Lowe.

No I wasn't familiar with it, but I just watched it! Thanks for the recommendation :)

You’re welcome. Actually, I felt kinda foolish for suggesting it, since it would probably be one of the most obvious choices for this genre, and I was thinking to myself, this guy (or girl) is probably gonna think that I’m a dumbass :D I was halfway thinking about deleting the post, so I’m glad I didn’t. Just so you know though, apparently the modern remake took some liberties with the original storyline, and modded it quite a bit. If you didn’t already see the original, you might want to check it out some time.

Cheers

These were really popular in the early 90s:

Single White Female
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Pacific Heights
Unlawful Entry
Mikey

Maybe Sleeping with the Enemy, I'm not so sure I'd include it.

Hard Candy
M.O.M. - Moms of Monsters (I was NOT ok after watching this)
