The Psychopath in Film examines the cognitive and emotional
proficiency of psychopaths at surviving the goodness juggernaut
using a model that takes into account three different levels of
cognition and two levels of emotion. The prominent force of the
soulless creature created in the cinema schemes as a connoisseur of
evil. However, the psychopath must work at making evil work. Wayne
Wilson assembles the cognitive and emotional fundamentals essential
for evil's success. Cognitively, the psychopaths must possess the
ability to maintain a calculating secrecy, they must harbor a flair
for misdirection, and they must choose freely to abdicate
responsibility while victimizing others. Emotionally, psychopaths
should not feel remorse for their actions, and may benefit from the
capacity to experience exuberance over their wicked ways, which
tends to be the most compelling trait of psychopaths in films. This
study delves into these tendencies as represented in the characters
created in movies from classics through modern film, focusing on
the question of the psychopath's possession of the aptitude to
commit undue harm.
