#4 Luc Picard as Roch 'Moïse' Thériault in 'Savage Messiah' (2002)
A French Canadian film based on the true story of cult leader Roch 'Moïse' Thériault who lead a small religious group based near Burnt River, Ontario, Canada from 1977-1989. Thériault punished his followers with great bodily harm, require them to prove allegiance by decapitating themselves and also "purify" them with beatings. His crimes are too numerous to mention, lets just that he was the 70's Marquis de Sade. Luc Picard took on this twised role and drove the madness and gore home. Charles Manson had nothing on this guy but the film plays out like 'Helter Skelter'.
