10 Greatest Psychopath Villains in Movies
Psychopaths. These kinds of people are incapable of remorse, lack guilt for the actions they commit, and use superficial charm to manipulate those they love most. Furthermore, they always seek thrills because they are easily prone to boredo. For some, killing and other criminal behavior is the way they use to satisfy their darkest desires.
Hollywood has tried to replicate, in different movies, throughout the years, how a psychopath would behave. Examples are iconic characters such as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, or Norman Bates in director Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece Psycho. The following is a compilation of movie villains based on their psychopathic tendencies. So, get ready to deep dive into the inner psyche of these unforgettable villains.
10
Voldemort from the ‘Harry Potter’ Franchise
After Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released in 2001, based on the books written by J.K. Rowling, it became a worldwide frenzy. Decades later, with over eight films under its belt, the franchise of this fantasy story has created a legion of fans that is not easily forgotten. Furthermore, it now even includes a Broadway play in its catalog, named Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, in which Tom Felton, who portrayed the character of Draco Malfoy in the movies, returned to reprise his iconic role for a short time.
However, the franchise’s true villain is Voldemort, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in the movies. Voldemort can be considered a psychopath, definitely. He has no moral compass and does not feel empathy for the people around him. He is a master of manipulation, as seen in his interactions with Harry Potter. His obsession with his plan to take over the world shows narcissistic traits, which can be seen in psychopaths. Furthermore, his moves were strategic and calculated, making him an unforgettable villain after all.

Loki Laufeyson from ‘The Avengers’ (2012)
One of the most beloved superhero classics, The Avengers was a milestone for the Marvel franchise. All superheroes in this movie are still considered to have strong ensemble chemistry, as well as being able to deliver unforgettable comedy and humor throughout the film. But what was truly unforgettable was the performance of Tom Hiddleston as the Norse god Loki Laufeyson, after viewers got a taste of his insanity in the previous Thor movie.
Despite critics saying he is more of a sociopath, Loki Laufeyson clearly exhibits traits of a psychopath in The Avengers, in my opinion. Loki is a narcissist who believes he should reign supreme over others, considering everyone to be below him, as seen when he forces civilians in Stuttgart to kneel before him. Additionally, he uses manipulation to get information, and psychologically tortures the people he speaks with, gaining pleasure from doing so. An example of this is the interrogation scene with Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. To conclude, he is blinded by a strong desire for power, yet has a huge sense of insecurity lurking below the surface. So, still not psychopathic enough to bring chills to your spine.
8
Billy Loomis from ‘Scream’ (1996)
With a new movie in the works, it is clear that the Scream franchise has taken over the slasher horror genre for years now. The seven movies have created a wide range of different killers that took over the persona of Ghostface, executing savage killing sprees. The reason for this is that they were fueled by revenge on the people who ruined their families.
The killer that started it all was the one in the 1996 blockbuster, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich). With hatred for Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), he pretends to be her boyfriend to execute his revenge on her family. That is because her mother was the one who had an affair with his father, tearing his family apart. Billy showcased traits of psychopathy, as he had no remorse against his victims, while fueling his vendetta against Sidney’s family. Billy’s intelligence was what made him a scarier psychopath than his accomplice, Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), who found pleasure in murdering. Specifically, he carefully deceived everyone who knew him with extensive manipulation tactics, yet obsessively trying to control the narrative of the killings.
7
J.D. from ‘Heathers’ (1988)
With a legacy over 30 years later, Heathers is a movie that remains timeless. The 1988 dark horror-comedy is something that is unique in its genre, condemning teen angst and toxic masculinity, putting empowering women at the top of everything it stands for. This is seen in the phenomenal main characters of outcast Veronica Sawyer (the legendary Winona Ryder) and the brooding Jason Dean (a young Christian Slater).
Jason Dean is the emblem of a psychopath: his brutal killings are the focus of the movie, which are fueled by a hate for school cliques, believing he is morally superior to his peers. His strength is manipulation, as he ensures that Veronica believes that three of the movie’s killings happened because of her. Furthermore, he is cynical and a misogynistic person, which makes him even scarier. In the end, Veronica ultimately understands the real personality of Jason, killing him in the end, after a gruesome fight. Still, one of the scariest performances.
6
Patrick Bateman from ‘American Psycho’ (2000)
Based on the novel of the same name written by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a film that can also be considered a mirror of today’s society. Specifically, what’s scary about this movie is the fact that the corporate world is all about appearances, but truly hollow if you look into it. Furthermore, this movie is definitely a way to show how much humans aspire to become powerful and live a luxurious life. It’s criticizing that fact, which makes this film even more amazing to watch.
The main character here is Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), a 27-year-old VP for the fictional company named Pierce & Pierce, who has clear psychopathic tendencies throughout the movie. Patrick lacks empathy and has severe mental instability, as seen by the ending of the movie, which makes viewers wonder if the killings were all in his head or if they were real. He has a massive ego, a fair share of manipulation tactics, and irresponsible behavior. What makes him scarier to the viewer is the fact that he blends perfectly into society, hiding his true psychopathic nature.
5
Annie Wilkes from ‘Misery’ (1990)
One of the most disturbing movies of the late 90s, Misery is an adaptation of Stephen King’s book of the same name. It tells the story of author Paul Shedon (James Caan), who is involved in a car accident. Afterward, he is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who takes him to her remote cabin in the mountains. She claims that she is his biggest fan, and she takes care of his injuries. However, when Annie finds out that Paul has killed off her favorite character in the book, Annie’s true dark and obsessive side is revealed as she begins being controlling and violent, forcing the author to rewrite the story according to what she wants, or else he will be killed.
Throughout the movie, Annie Wilkes’ secret is revealed: she is a nurse who killed all of her patients back when she worked in the hospital, and escaped, hiding in her cabin in the mountains. She shows classic psychopathic traits: manipulation, as she pretends she is good to Paul at first, but then becomes insane, showcasing her darkest side. She is impulsive, as seen in the scene where she pounds Paul’s legs with a hammer because he didn’t do what she wanted. Furthermore, she is definitely mentally unstable, as seen from the easily noticeable mood swings she showcases throughout the movie. Bates’ Academy Award win here was rightfully deserved!
4
Oliver Quick from ‘Saltburn’ (2024)
Saltburn is a psychological thriller directed by Emerald Fennell. It follows the story of Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan‘s most terrifying performance), an outcast Oxford student who becomes enthralled by Felix Catton (the talented Jacob Elordi), befriending him and getting an invitation to stay at his family’s estate for the summer. What Felix doesn’t know is that Oliver’s true intentions are darker than they seem. This movie can be considered the most disturbing yet fascinating piece of media I have ever seen. And you should watch it also.
Without a doubt, Oliver is considered a psychopath in this film. Oliver purposefully manipulates his way into Felix’s life because he is obsessed with him and his wealth, wanting to have him yet be him at the same time, at all costs. He shows a grand lack of empathy, as seen in the scene in which Felix’s family finds his corpse. Yet, he is overwhelmed by emotion every time he is around Felix. Maybe it’s because psychopaths are used to mimicking people’s emotions. This is still a big question mark that fans overanalyze. His impulsive behavior truly bursts out in abnormal acts, examples being the bathtub and the grave scenes (not going into further details about those). Furthermore, what makes Oliver scary enough as a psychopath is the fact that he is strategic in his moves, all this being a twisted chess game for him, in which every single person he speaks with is a pawn, and whoever gets in his way gets killed. Truly a mastermind.
3
The Joker from ‘Batman: The Dark Knight’ (2008)
One of the most famous and beloved superhero movies, Batman: The Dark Knight is an unforgettable piece of media. The storyline follows Batman (Christian Bale) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as they join forces to stop the Joker (the late Heath Ledger). Furthermore, The Joker represents the traits of an actual psychopath, after all.
The Joker is highly methodical, as seen in the moments when he plans every move he has to pull next. Also, he believes people have no morals and goes to great lengths to prove his point. Everything he does has a specific reason: destroying society entirely. The Joker, with his unhinged personality, is one of the most outstanding psychopathic villains out there, who has stood the test of time, becoming an icon in the film industry. Ledger’s performance as The Joker is something truly iconic, as his portrayal of this role will never be forgotten.
2
Norman Bates from the ‘Psycho’ franchise
Ah, yes. The most terrifying Anthony Perkins performance. Psycho is one of the best horror movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This movie follows the story of Marion Crane, portrayed by Janet Leigh, who steals money from her company to flee with her lover, detective Sam Loomis (John Gavin). Because of the rain, she stops at the Bates Motel for the night, a few miles outside of Sam’s town, Fairvale. In the motel, she meets Norman Bates (Perkins), a shy and seemingly kind man who lives with his mother in a Gothic house near the motel, which they also own. What she doesn’t know is that this family is not what it seems, which sparks an investigation from Sam and Lila Crane (Vera Miles), Marion’s sister.
Norman Bates’ inner psyche is truly captivating, yet horrifying at the same time. He suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, in which he has two distinctive personalities: one of himself, and one of his mother, who goes on a killing spree. Psychologists think that he was most likely traumatized by his mother’s incestuous and abusive behavior towards him when he was a child, after his father’s death, which led to him becoming an unhinged psychopath. After the infamous shower scene and the psychologist analyzing Bates’ mental state at the end, it is up to the audience to break down and analyze every single aspect of Bates’ psychopathic tendencies.
1
Hannibal Lecter from ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)
The scariest thriller I have ever seen in my life, even more than Psycho, contrary to popular opinion, The Silence of the Lambs is a movie that transcended the test of time. After decades, it is still acclaimed and beloved as if it were released today. It tells the story of Clarice Starling (the talented Jodie Foster), an FBI detective in training, who has been assigned the case of Buffalo Bill, a killer who skins women and unalives them. To get more clues and be able to solve this case, Clarice is sent by FBI detective Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) to speak with a famous killer, Hannibal Lecter (the phenomenal Anthony Hopkins), who is locked in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
Hopkins’ portrayal of Lecter is truly terrifying, as he portrayed perfectly the insane, cold, calculating psychopath that Lecter truly is. Lecter is a prime example of a functioning type of psychopath who is aware of what he does. However, he has no morality towards anyone, believing he is truly doing god’s work in eliminating people that he considers rude. This also showcases the high narcissism that he exudes. Hannibal Lecter is the best psychopathic villain out there, and no one can say otherwise.

Last Fall, long-suffering Stargate fans were finally able to celebrate with the grand announcement that the franchise’s long-time writer and director Martin Gero was going to be spearheading a new revival series on Amazon Prime. On June 2, barely 10 months later, Amazon pulled the plug and canceled the entire series. Nothing has been said publicly, but various news outlets including Variety and Deadline, have been putting together the pieces of the puzzle and as of now, it looks like Amazon decided to axe a show for hardcore sci-fi fans because it was being built to appeal to…hardcore sci-fi fans.
By The Fans, For The Fans
The details of Gero’s plan for the series, where it would be set, how far into the future of the franchise, and how it would tie into the three other Stargate shows, have never been made public. What fans know now is that allegedly the vision for the show wasn’t a good fit for Amazon. That news came after the series was written. It’s rare for a show so far along to be canceled instead of redesigned to fit better with the network, which means the differences had to be considered insurmountable.
On the face of it, this sounds like the new Stargate was being designed for fans of Stargate SG-1. The same die-hard fanbase who has kept the franchise alive for over 30 years, filling multiple conventions each year, buying spin-off novels, binging Atlantis and Universe, and they think “Wormhole X-Treme” is one of the best episodes of any sci-fi series. That should be the target audience and not a reason to cancel a series.
Sci-fi fans will never outnumber the people watching Reacher, but keep in mind that Amazon also produces Fallout and Invincible, two niche genre shows. This is the same company that saved The Expanse, one of the greatest sci-fi shows of the last 15 years, from cancellation. Yet, early reporting is that’s exactly why Amazon decided to again disappoint Stargate fans with another revival tease.
Stargate Fans Are Used To Disappointment
Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis never pulled the same numbers as Star Trek, but they were good enough to remain on the air long enough for 15 seasons and over 300 episodes between the two of them. Stargate Universe, the most recent series from 2009, only lasted two seasons due to network interference. It’s since been reclaimed by Stargate fans as a hidden gem. Fans want the crew of the Destiny back, not the behind the scenes production drama.
Once again, Stargate fans will go to bed disappointed. It’s something we’ve become used to over the last decade. Maybe someday Amazon will realize the potential in developing a show for fans, which it did with again, both Fallout and Invincible. Then again, since the revival announcement took place, Amazon’s revolving C-suite door has led to the departure of multiple executives who greenlit Martin Gero’s vision in the first place. Stargate Command’s greatest foe isn’t the Goa’uld, it’s entertainment executives unwilling to give sci-fi a chance.
For those that haven’t given Stargate SG-1 a chance, it’s a great time to see why it’s a classic, with the entire series now streaming on Netflix.
Although Preston Pippen came from a reality TV family, his mother, Larsa Pippen, still had to give him a bit of advice about living his life in front of the cameras.
Preston is one of the stars of Netflix’s newest reality show, “Calabasas Confidential,” and in it, the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen opens up about his personal life as the offspring of famous parents.
In later episodes, Preston also gets close to one of his co-stars, Alexie Epstein.
Speaking with E! News, Preston said that his mother, “The Real Housewives of Miami” alum, Larsa, told him to be his authentic self while filming the series.
Additionally, Larsa, who has had her fair share of dramatic feuds on camera, gave her son another piece of advice about dealing with his co-stars.
“Don’t really trust anybody, because even though we’re all friends, once in front of a camera, people are gonna act different,” Preston said.
Preston Wasn’t Afraid To Talk About His Life As The Son Of Larsa And Scottie Pippen
On the show, Preston speaks about being the product of divorced parents. (Larsa and Scottie separated in 2018 and divorced in 2021.)
However, Preston wasn’t afraid of speaking about his life, telling the outlet that he “kind of knew what I signed up for.”
That doesn’t mean signing on the dotted line was easy for him, though. He revealed that he asked himself whether the show was worth revisiting that challenging time in his life.
It clearly was, as he said, “I’m a big boy now.”
Preston Pippen Said His Friends At School Used To Tease Him About His Mother’s Alleged Affair With Future
According to a previous report from The Blast, in the show, Preston opened up about his mother’s alleged affair with rapper Future and how that affected him.
“It was just all over the place. You would think, at that age, when you’re going to school, that it is safe and you’re dodging the drama at home,” he said. “People I thought were my friends would make jokes, and there’s already so much noise in the house.”
He shared that people at his school would mock him over the headlines, saying, “Kids at school, like my friends, would play music by a rapper that my mom was taking to at the time, and it was just sh-tty.”
While Larsa initially denied a connection with Future, she later confirmed that the pair had been in a “respectable relationship.”
“It wasn’t like a—it was just like we were friends and we needed each other at that moment. And that was basically it,” she said. “I think people make more of it. It’s just better conversation for people to say, oh she cheated on him, she this, she that. It was none of that. Scottie wasn’t even living at home with me.”
Brandi Glanville Speaks About Her Son’s Sex Life On ‘Calabasas Confidential’
In another episode, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Brandi Glanville made an unexpected admission about her son’s sex life.
Speaking with her son, Mason Cibrian, Glanville praised the youngster’s girlfriend, Sarah Dower, revealing how much she loves her.
As the conversation went on, Glanville shared the story of the time she learned her son was no longer a virgin. “I remember realizing he wasn’t a virgin when I walked by his room, and I heard a spanking being given,” she said on camera.
“I was just like, ‘F-ck my life, my son is not a virgin anymore,’” she said before adding, “I think he was 15 or 16, and I was crying. I’m like, ‘I am so uncomfortable right now. But at least he’s giving a spanking at least. He’s got some moves.’”
Kandi Burruss Gave Her Daughter Advice, Too
Larsa isn’t the only Bravo veteran giving their children advice about navigating reality TV. According to The Blast, Kandi Burruss told her daughter, Riley Burruss, to also be herself on Bravo’s “Next Gen NYC.”
She also reminded Riley about the importance of being honest. “I just told her don’t be on there [and] say anything that you ain’t going to stand behind. You got to make sure you keep it honest on this show,” Kandi said. “And even if you say something they don’t like, just own it and keep it pushing.”
“Don’t let them rewind no tapes on you like how they do [with] people on the shows. We not doing that,” Kandi joked.
Netflix’s international crime machine has always had a weapon most streamers would kill for, and that’s Money Heist. While films like Dog Day Afternoon set the initial standard for heist films, nothing has become as huge as Money Heist. It’s so big that it has become impossible for this show not to cross one’s mind after the word “heist” is spoken out loud.
The show basically proved that a red jumpsuit, a mask, a ticking plan, and a crew full of romantic disasters could turn a Spanish thriller into a global event. The latest installment in the franchise is currently trending in 85+ countries. According to FlixPatrol, over the last week alone, the show has been sitting at an average Netflix TV ranking between roughly No. 2 and No. 3.4, which is massive for a returning international spin-off. It hit #1 in 42 countries on May 23, then kept landing first-place finishes across markets such as Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Israel, Pakistan, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Venezuela, and several others throughout the week. Even as of May 29, it was still #1 in 20 countries, while holding strong Top 3 positions across much of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.
The latest trending installment is Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, which is Season 2 for Netflix’s official Money Heist spin-off for Berlin’s (Pedro Alfonso) character. And until the world of Money Heist makes a comeback with possibly a story revolving around Professor (Álvaro Morte), Berlin is as close as it gets to well-planned heists.
Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine’ Is Already Matching the First Season’s Global Pull
Berlin Season 1, now titled Berlin and the Jewels of Paris, was huge. It debuted at #1 on the Non-English TV list with 11.3M views and reached the Top 10 in 91 countries to become one of Netflix’s biggest non-English shows at the time. Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine was released globally on Netflix on May 15, 2026. Pedro Alonso returns as Berlin, with Tristán Ulloa, Michelle Jenner, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña, Inma Cuesta, and others joining the Seville-set heist. This time, the target is tied to a priceless da Vinci masterpiece, which gives the spin-off the cleanest possible hook.
Since Berlin Season 2 is now trending in 87 countries, it’s safe to say the show has nicely carried the charting projectile forward. It remains to be seen whether the new season will surpass the previous installment.
Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine is available to stream on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Masters of the Universe Debuts Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes as Early Reviews Praise He-Man’s Return : Coastal House Media
Tom Holland is giving fans a fascinating look behind the scenes of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, revealing that Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey may have played a major role in shaping the next chapter of Peter Parker’s story.
Speaking about the development of the highly anticipated Marvel sequel, Holland explained that Spider-Man: Brand New Day was originally scheduled to film alongside Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. However, the scheduling conflict forced him to make a difficult choice.
Rather than rushing into production, Holland pushed for Spider-Man: Brand New Day to be delayed, allowing the creative team additional time to refine the script and find the right direction for the project.
According to Holland, the decision ultimately paid off.
“I convinced the studio to delay the movie,” Holland said, explaining that the extra development time gave the filmmakers an opportunity to strengthen the story and fully realize their vision.
The actor also credited his experience working with Christopher Nolan for changing the way he approaches filmmaking. Holland said Nolan’s commitment to preparation, purpose, and storytelling inspired him to push for a higher standard on Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Tom Holland, The Odyssey [credit: Universal Pictures]
“I wanted it to be a real movie,” Holland explained, emphasizing that he wanted the project to focus on storytelling rather than simply becoming another blockbuster production.
The additional development time reportedly allowed Marvel and Sony to bring in director Destin Daniel Cretton and spend several months refining the screenplay before cameras rolled. Holland now believes the result could be the strongest Spider-Man film yet.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day serves as a fresh start for Peter Parker following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which erased Peter’s identity from the world’s memory. Holland previously described the new film as a “fresh start” and a “rebirth” for the character as he returns to a more street-level version of Spider-Man.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, and Mark Ruffalo. The movie is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.
Meanwhile, Holland will also appear in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which arrives just one week earlier on July 24, setting up a massive summer for the actor.
Sisters Sami and Lola Sheen appear to be in a good place after their years-long feud.
“Guess who’s [sic] bday it is today,” Sami, 22, posted via Instagram, tagging her sister. “CHEERS TO 21 !!!!! love u.”
Sami also included a throwback photo of herself and Lola with dad Charlie Sheen. Charlie, 60, shares Sami and Lola with ex-wife Denise Richards, whom he was married to from 2002 to 2006.
Lola shared her sister’s posts via her own Instagram Story.
The sweet birthday message marks a major shift in the sisters’ relationship as fans have watched them experience a series of ups and downs over the years. When Denise Richards & Her Wild Things aired on Bravo in March 2025, the girls had blocked each other on social media and weren’t speaking.
“It was terrible,” Lola told Us Weekly exclusively at the time about the drama with Sami. “It forced us to, obviously, be around each other and then just the interviews and stuff. I can breathe again now that we’re talking.”
When it comes to Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen’s relationship, the best way to describe it is complicated. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughters have grown up in the spotlight as their parents made headlines for their personal and professional lives. In March 2025, however, fans were able to see a different side of Sami […]
Sami added, “I mean, obviously, we still fight like sisters do, but we’re at a much better place. We have each other unblocked now. We followed each other back on Instagram. I think we’re at a good place.”
However, the tension continued with the duo having a few more public feuds as the year went on. In January, Sami took to TikTok and accused Lola of dating her ex-boyfriend. Lola vehemently denied the accusations.
“I am never one to defend myself against my sister anymore because I genuinely don’t care. But I couldn’t let this one slide,” Lola wrote. “I am single, I am not talking to anyone, and I’m definitely not dating her ex-boyfriend. That is absolutely the one thing I will share my side for because this is unbelievable.”
She added, “I would absolutely NEVER do anything with my sister’s ex-boyfriend. And we have completely different types in men.”
Sami claimed in a follow-up post that she was “collecting my thoughts and receipts” about the situation.
Lola, meanwhile, had taken down the initial post “out of respect” for her family. (All videos have since been deleted.)
“However, my sister has decided to keep hers up,” Lola said in a separate January video. “Her accusation about me is a complete lie. She has unfortunately always been one to spread rumors about me that aren’t true.”
She added, “Everyone close to me knows this isn’t true at all. I can only wish her and all of you the best and hope that this world can stop being so quick to believe everything they see.”

The Things We Do’s Vanessa Lee Says You Can Skip an Upper Bleph in Your 30s and 40s: Here’s What to Do Instead
It’s time to see beauty through Vanessa Lee’s eyes.
The Things We Do founder has built a loyal following thanks to her less-is-more approach to aesthetics.
With a newly opened West Hollywood, California location joining her three Los Angeles studios and Hawaii outpost, the cosmetic RN and Eastern Face Reader has become a trusted beauty expert for clients including Khloé, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, and Kate Hudson.
And if there’s one piece of advice she’d give beauty lovers right now, it’s simple: think twice before rushing into cosmetic surgery.
“Stop messing with your eyes. We have seen celebrities that have access to the best and most expensive surgeons get work done and it really changes the essence of the face. If you are in your 50s and need to remove excess skin, that is one thing but getting an upper bleph in your 30s and 40s and altering the shape of your eye completely may leave you with regrets in a couple of years,” she tells ET.
Instead of chasing dramatic transformations, Lee recommends enhancing what you already have.
One treatment she’s especially excited about?
“The BioGlow treatment, where we combine Sculptra under the hairline with PRFM under the eyes and shadows around the mouth in one treatment is hot right now and completely worth the hype. The results are undeniable,” she notes.
For those looking for an added lift and rejuvenation, Lee points to options that deliver subtle effects while supporting long-term skin health.
“The Things We Do has very rigorous, Korean-influenced training for threads for subtle lifting and collagen building,” she explains.
And her recommendations don’t stop at the face.
“We’re seeing a lot of requests for Onda Pro body tightening this summer for skin tightening and contouring.”
Of course, maintaining great skin starts long before your next appointment.
“Everyone needs a sunscreen stick or brush-on in their bag. You are not reapplying enough, and it shows at your fall appointments. I like the brush-on from Colorescience and my favorite drug-store brand sunscreen stick is from Sun Bum, SPF 40. It glides on smoothly, doesn’t leave a greasy residue, and it feels very refreshing on the skin.”
She also swears that some of the best beauty secrets can be found right in your kitchen.
“I love jujube and longan tea for reducing inflammation and building iron. I have this tea almost daily and it is so delicious. Sardines are having a moment, which is awesome, because they are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for both health and beauty. I love mine in tomato sauce or with some olive oil and crushed red pepper flakes.”

Kevin Costner Accidentally Starts Civil War And Steals Your Wife In R-Rated, Post-Apocalyptic Hero’s Journey
By Robert Scucci
| Published
I have so many things to say about 1997’s The Postman that I don’t even know where to start. The first thing I’ll say is that Kevin Costner has proven himself to be a reliable leading man. Field of Dreams (1989) and Dances with Wolves (1990) made waves on the big screen, and Yellowstone was never the same after he parted ways with Tyler Sheridan to focus on his sprawling Western vanity project, Horizon: An American Saga. What I’ve noticed about Kevin Costner, though, is that he has a serious hero complex and never seems particularly interested in being part of an ensemble.
You can trace this mindset all the way back to 1995’s Waterworld, which is basically Mad Max with boats. The film was considered a flop upon release because of its bloated budget and disappointing box office returns, but audiences have warmed up to it over the years thanks to a campy charm that’s hard to replicate.
The Postman is an entirely different beast because Costner serves as both director and star. He’s not just an actor following somebody else’s vision, and he’s so committed to building out his own character’s mythology that he might as well be Steven Seagal. Oh, and it’s almost three hours long, which is worth mentioning because money comes and goes, relationships change, but time is the one thing you never get back.

Set in the then-future year of 2013, The Postman follows a drifter played by Kevin Costner. He travels from community to community reciting Shakespeare in exchange for three hots and a cot. He barely knows any Shakespeare, but it’s enough to impress General Bethlehem (Will Patton), the leader of a militia group known as the Holnists, who captures him and attempts to indoctrinate him.
No joke, when it’s time for Kevin Costner to match wits with Bethlehem, he says, “To be or not to be…” and this is apparently enough for the man to think he’s an intellectual and a scholar that deserves his respect, so long as he doesn’t step out of line. Anyhow, Costner escapes and seeks refuge in an abandoned mail truck, burning letters one by one for light and warmth while hiding from Bethlehem and his loyal army. Suddenly, he has a great idea: he’ll dress like a postman, show up at the nearest settlement, and use his new disguise to score food, drink, and a place to sleep.
He stumbles upon a small town called Pineview, and his plan works even better than expected. So well, in fact, that his mere presence threatens Pineview Sheriff Briscoe (Daniel von Bargen), who knows he’s just a drifter running game but can’t definitively prove it. During his stay, Kevin Costner, who’s super awesome, is approached by Abby (Olivia Williams), who wastes no time asking him to get her pregnant. Abby’s husband, Michael (Charles Esten), is sterile and has absolutely no qualms about Kevin Costner bumping uglies with his wife so they can finally have a baby.
After promising everybody in Pineview that he’s totally legitimate, definitely not a fraud, and committed to delivering mail to and from their community, Kevin Costner, who I now feel comfortable calling “The Postman,” has a run-in with one of the local youths, a young man who calls himself Ford Lincoln Mercury (Larenz Tate) and wants in on that sweet mail-delivery action. With no official authority whatsoever because he doesn’t actually have any, The Postman recruits Ford Lincoln Mercury, and the two basically cosplay as mailmen for the rest of the movie.
When Your Plan Backfires
The previous section may seem like I gave the whole movie away, but I need to remind you that this abomination is three hours long, and we’re barely through the first act. For the sake of brevity, I’ll speed things up and get to the true conflict in The Postman: General Bethlehem. I literally forgot about General Bethlehem after what I’d consider an egregious amount of worldbuilding for a movie about a guy who wants to work for the post office. When he showed up again, my immediate reaction was, “Oh yeah, that guy.”
Despite being such a scholar, General Bethlehem somehow doesn’t realize that Kevin Costner dressed up as a mailman is the same Kevin Costner who impressed him with his flaccid, first-grade rendition of Shakespeare earlier in the film. Unwittingly, and perhaps unwillingly, this whole plot escalates into a full-blown civil war because the Holnists want to maintain their power, and Bethlehem becomes convinced that the American government is slowly reclaiming its former glory because the Postal Service is allegedly operational again.
That’s right. In his mind, mail being delivered by horseback from Oregon to New York over the course of several months means his dynasty is about to crumble.
Along the way, The Postman and Abby fulfill her husband’s wishes, and she gets pregnant. He eventually leaves Pineview but is attacked by Bethlehem’s men, leaving him gravely injured. Abby finds him, and the two seek shelter in a small cabin while he recovers, making sure to make fun of her cooking every time he has enough strength to do so. Abby nearly drowns in an icy river, and The Postman saves her. She burns down the cabin so he’ll be forced to continue his work because that’s what she considers smart. Mail gets delivered, word spreads about the “Restored U.S. Government,” and Bethlehem becomes increasingly enraged as war draws closer.
The Best Unintentional Comedy Of The 90s
As ridiculous as all of this sounds, and it is, I spent most of my time watching The Postman laughing my ass off. The most obvious reason is that everybody plays it completely straight, and James Newton Howard’s score is so whimsical and triumphant. This is, at its core, a story about a mailman. He reminisces about Tang and astronauts before telling Abby that she’s weird or that her face is pretty. Meanwhile, the string section has a glorious crescendo that you’d hear in a Lord of the Rings movie before an epic battle.
Even funnier is the entire hero’s journey that The Postman finds himself on. He literally puts on a dead mailman’s clothes and wanders into town looking to lay low before eventually trying the same scam somewhere else. Within days, he’s leading a resistance movement against General Bethlehem’s sprawling army while trying to restore the long-lost sanctity of American sovereignty. They fight on horseback. Molotov cocktails get thrown through post office windows. Tom Petty shows up for a minute, and I still don’t know why. Kevin Costner rides a zipline.
It’s hilarious because this guy just wanted to keep drifting from town to town, collecting free beans and hardtack wherever he could find them. But his little scheme works so well that he somehow becomes the most important man in post-apocalyptic history. That’s like me trying to fraudulently reuse a BOGO coupon for bulk paper towels at Kroger and somehow ending up as President. I can’t adequately articulate how stupid this all is.
Listen, I’m not telling you to stop what you’re doing and watch The Postman. It’s not currently included with any major streaming subscription. But if you have four dollars you’re willing to part ways with, you can rent this beautiful disaster on-demand through Apple TV+, YouTube, or Fandango at Home.
