2005 · 90 min Documentary TV Movie
10.0 / 10 · TMDB

Villains have always been with us. In a war-plagued world, brutality and corruption embody our darkest fears--all that is selfish and wicked in the human soul. And they also happen to be great box-office draw as we see in this fascinating, terrifying look at some of the most evil--and best-loved--characters ever created--from Dracula to Darth Vader to Hannibal Lecter. Featuring interviews with actors like Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct) and directors such as George Lucas (Star Wars), John Carpenter (Halloween), this riveting, insightful film exploration takes viewers through more than 100 years of screen evil, including clips from the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Shiver through our comprehensive gallery of rogues in a bone-chilling homage to the men and women who haunt our darkest dreams...and fulfill our most secret desires?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by relying on a chronological and thematic framework, moving from classic monsters to psychological predators. It works with interviews as analytical tools, exploring the evolution of cinematic evil from an external force to an internal demon.

What lingers after viewing is a newfound appreciation for the craft behind the menace. The documentary successfully argues that our greatest villains are dark mirrors of their times. — MovieFinder Editorial
