* Edward Nygma (a.k.a. the Riddler) of ''Film/BatmanForever'' seems an awful lot like one of the male persuasion. This LoonyFan keeps pictures of Bruce Wayne on his desk (glamour shots from a ladies' magazine, yet), gets nervous and giggly when meeting Wayne for the first time as well as spouting unnerving phrases of devotion and insisting that Wayne accept his opus... and tipping completely off the deep end immediately after having his plan nixed by Bruce because it would raise [[MadnessMantra too many questions]]. That being said, Nygma's obsession stems from aa narcissistic ego and envious personality towards Bruce's fame, rather than out of a romantic desire.

* ''Film/TheFly1986'' has very distressing, disturbing and tragic example in DoomedProtagonist Seth towards his lover Veronica. [[spoiler: Once a mild mannered and easygoing guy, the BodyHorror SlowTransformation due to accident with his teleportation pods exacerbates Seth’s buried worse qualities and stricken with despair at decaying state he is in, Veronica becomes his LivingEmotionalCrush. Things go from BadToWorse when, Veronica’s boss and ex Stathis tries to get her away from Seth who becomes murderously jealous. To top it all off, Seth learns Veronica is pregnant with his child and after melting Stathis‘a hand and foot off, tries get her to go with him in the teleport pods so that he can be with Veronica (along with their unborn child) '''forever'''.]]
* ''Film/NoTimeToDie'''s antagonist Safin is quite an extreme Yandere towards Madeline, as having saved her from drowning when she was a girl Safin believes he essentially owns her life. [[spoiler: When Bond enters the picture having bore a child with Madeline and interfered with his schemes, Safin isn’t exactly pleased and takes Madeline and her daughter Mathilde as his own. When that fails, Safin in the ultimate SoreLoser {{Yandere}} move poisons Bond with {{Nanomachines}} that are specifically TouchOfDeath to Madeline and Mathilde, ensuring that [[IfICantHaveYou if he can’t have them then neither can Bond]]. This leads to Bond [[HeroicSacrifice letting himself be killed]] by the missile strike targeting the IslandBase.]]

* In ''Film/SixtyEightKill'', the CuteAndPsycho Liza will go to any length to keep hold of her boyfriend Chip; including murder. She and her brother Dwayne massacre the gang of redneck crooks holding Chip hostage, and she seems to regards Chip's attempts to kill her in order to be free of her as nothing more than foreplay.
* Clinch of ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'' is shown to be perfectly willing to murder people when he learns his wife Anna kissed another man (Albert) as well as attempting to murder her in a case of IfICantHaveYou after she rejects and humiliates him. He also makes an effort to kill Albert but Albert defeats him.
* Played straight by Freddy himself in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010'' towards Nancy. While he intends to kill all the children for telling their parents he molested them, he saves Nancy for something worse because — as Nancy's mother admitted — she's his favorite one of all. While he abused the children sexually at school, he menaces Nancy nonstop with a perverted Yandere attitude that makes his antics in life seem tame. And when Quentin and Nancy develop feelings for each other, Freddy gets pretty jealous.
* Debbie Jellinsky from ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues'', who earned the nickname "BlackWidow" for murdering husbands who were too busy to give her the love she needed (it doesn't help that she, being a [[GoldDigger materialistic woman]], likes to marry men who have a lot of money, who usually have to work around the clock).
-->'''Debbie ''': Sorry, Debbie, no Mercedes this year. We have to set an example. Oh yeah? ''Set '''this'''''!
** She also murdered her family via burning her house down for [[DisproportionateRetribution getting her the wrong Barbie doll]]. Being ''The Addams Family'', the whole thing is played for laughs.
** Wednesday is possibly one for Joel. They establish a romantic connection at the camp and give each other nicknames ("cara mia" for Wednesday and "mon cher" for Joel). And her way of killing her husband? Scaring him to death, which she does to Joel in the end.
** Gomez for Morticia. He mentions that he would die for her...and that her would kill for her. Either way would be "bliss".
* Eve Harrington from ''Film/AllAboutEve'' pretends to be like this. She's the sweetest, humblest, most helpful young woman you'll ever meet, and above all else, wants to work entirely for and with Margo and model her life on Margo's, as closely as she can manage. Heaven help anyone who stands in the way of these things.
* In ''Film/{{Audition}}'', the male lead holds an audition for a girlfriend/wife under the guise of an audition for a movie, only to have the girl he picks be Asami... a very, very creepy yandere. [[spoiler: One scene involves the girl putting needles in the victim's eyes, all the while making an almost cutesy sound while gently (agonizingly) taping them in. In short, she tortures him for ''misleading her into believing he would love only her'', not for the fake movie audition. Very, very creepy]].
-->''Kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri...'''
* Edward Nygma (a.k.a. the Riddler) of ''Film/BatmanForever'' seems an awful lot like one of the male persuasion. This LoonyFan keeps pictures of Bruce Wayne on his desk (glamour shots from a ladies' magazine, yet), gets nervous and giggly when meeting Wayne for the first time as well as spouting unnerving phrases of devotion and insisting that Wayne accept his opus... and tipping completely off the deep end immediately after having his plan nixed by Bruce because it would raise [[MadnessMantra too many questions]].
-->'''Nygma:''' You were supposed to understand...I'll ''make'' you understand...
* Luv from ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' while it’s hard to discern whether her obsession with protagonist K comes from the Wallace Corporation orders or her own malfunctioning programming it becomes pretty apparent as movie goes on. [[spoiler: Like when Luv speaks of her attraction to K to his boss, destroying K’s {{Hologram}} girlfriend in front of him and giving K a ForcefulKiss in the FinalBattle... after stabbing him with a knife]].
* ''Film/BlueSteel'': Wall Street stock brocker Eugene Hunt becomes psychotically obsessed with rookie cop Megan Turner after he witnesses her gunning down an armed robber, and thinks they are soulmates. When she rejects him upon finding out that he's a murderer, he proceeds to kill her friends and anyone else close to her, and eventually rapes her.
* Big Brother Ma from the 2008 Chinese film ''Butterfly Lovers''. At first you think he's just going to be the UnluckyChildhoodFriend of the tale. And then the plot ensues...
%%* ''Film/TheCableGuy'' -- needs an explanation.
* [[spoiler:Lucille Sharpe]] from ''Film/CrimsonPeak'' is very possessive of her lover [[spoiler:and brother Thomas]]. When she finds out that he has fallen for someone else, she flips out and kills him in a fit of rage, then immediately starts sobbing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone over the deed she committed]].
* The 2009 film ''Crush'' features a supernatural version of this trope. . . . in the last 12 minutes. One that can actually shoot Hadoukens. And she succeeds in the end.
* In ''Film/TheCrush'', Adrian loves Nick so much she's willing to kill his girlfriend and her own friend to get him. What makes things even worse is that she is fourteen years old, and Nick is much older. Fortunately, she doesn't succeed.
* Joanie in ''Film/{{Cursed 2005}}'', a [[spoiler: werewolf]] variation.
* Angelique in ''Film/DarkShadows''. Dear God, Angelique. It's not enough to simply [[spoiler:kill the parents of the man who spurned you]], to really get his heart you apparently have to [[spoiler:kill his girlfriend, turn him into a vampire so he can never die]], then [[spoiler:lock him in an iron box so that he's left to suffer for eternity, as well as curse his descendants]].
* Debbie in the movie ''Devil In The Flesh'' and it's sequel ''Devil In The Flesh 2''.
* Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in ''Film/FatalAttraction''. The main character's fling with her was supposed to be a one-night stand, but Alex simply ''would not let go'', and the further he tried to distance himself from her, the crazier she got until she eventually went off the deep end. Her [[MoralEventHorizon most infamous act]] gave rise to the slang term "bunny-boiler" to refer to yandere-types in the West. Glenn Close as the ''Yandere'' was one of the reasons that ''Film/FatalAttraction'' was popular in Japan. Not for nothing is Alex Forrest ranked #7 on AFI' s "Villains" List.
* Creator/MarkWahlberg's character David [=McCall=] in the 1996 movie ''Film/{{Fear}}'' has this for Nicole (Creator/ReeseWitherspoon). He becomes so obsessed with her that [[CrazyJealousGuy he beats up a male friend at her school for even talking to her]], manipulates her to resent her protective father Steven (Creator/WilliamPetersen) while sexually abusing her female friend, Margo (Creator/AlyssaMilano) behind her back, carves her name into his chest, and near the end of the movie tries to invade her family's home with his friends and starts by ''cutting off her dog's head''.
* Marina (Ma Rina) from ''Friend Request'' seems to be a platonic version. She was a lonely girl who didn't have any Website/{{Facebook}} friends until Laura accepted her request. She becomes overly attached to Laura and starts doing weird things like photoshopping them together and messaging her excessively. Then after Laura celebrates her birthday without Marina, she makes a scene in public, demanding an explanation. This leads to her [[SpurnedIntoSuicide committing suicide]] and [[MurderTheHypotenuse killing Laura's friends]]. She also publishes certain events, which causes her friend count to plummet. [[spoiler:It's implied in the end that Marina possesses Laura, or does something else to her, making them friends forever.]]
* In the film ''Film/GoneGirl'', [[spoiler:Amy is a psychopathic, murderous Yandere towards her husband; her tirade begins with the fact that her husband is not living up to her expectations for him when she was more than willing to surpass his expectations for her]].
* The French film ''Film/HeLovesMeHeLovesMeNot'' (''À la folie... pas du tout'') is about [[spoiler:a young woman who at first appears to be in a relationship with an emotionally distant doctor, until the second half, when it turns out that ''he didn't know her at all'']].
* In the French film ''Film/HighTension'', this trope is exemplified in [[spoiler: the protagonist, Marie, who creates an alternate personality to brutally murder the family of her [[PsychoLesbian lesbian crush]], Alex... simply so that she could have her all to herself]].
* [[spoiler:Liz Dunn]] from the British movie ''Film/TheHole'', who [[spoiler:locks herself, her best friend, the guy she fancies and his best friend in the bunker in order to get the guy to notice her. She won't stop even when the situation [[FromBadToWorse deteriorates]]]].
* Creator/{{Lifetime}} Movies:
** ''Homecoming'' is one, with a plot somewhat similar to ''Film/{{Misery}}''. One of the few instances where the film is built around the torturing of her "beloved's" romantic interests.
** ''Maternal Obsession'' (formerly titled ''Her Only Child'') which features mother, Inez, having this for her own daughter, Lily. She does everything to sabotage her child's relationship with Larry, the current love interest. Even going as far to cut herself and making the family dog sick. The daughter confronts her mother about her behavior and finds that she sabotaged other relationships by hiring thugs to beat up an ex-boyfriend, Michael. At some point [[spoiler:Inez pulls a gun on Larry and then threatens to kill herself]].
** ''Film/NoOneWouldTell'', Bobby (played by Creator/FredSavage) in the [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek TV movie]].
*** Sandy Burrow (Joely Fisher) from ''Seduction in a Small Town'' is a great example of a Lifetime-like Yandere: when she throws herself at Paul Jenks (Dennis Weaver) and is rebuffed because he's HappilyMarried to Sarah ([[Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Melissa Gilbert]]), among other things, she gets so pissed that she falsely accuses them both of being horrible AbusiveParents to their two kids and gets them thrown in jail. ''Twice''.
** ''You Belong to Me'', another Lifetime movie, combines all the classic stalker tropes. Michael [=McBride=] is a StalkerWithACrush who tried to MurderTheHypotenuse in order to have Alex, his boss, all to himself. When he confessed his "love" for her though, he was rejected and tried to pull a MurderSuicide so that they could be together in death. Even beyond the grave, he still tried to kill Alex so that they can be TogetherInDeath.
* [[spoiler: Captain Leo]] becomes this towards the end of ''Film/HouseOfFlyingDaggers'', once it's clear that [[spoiler: his ActionGirlfriend Mei has fallen for his friend Jin]].
* Jackie from ''Film/TheHouseOfYes'' is madly in love with her brother Marty (yes, in [[BrotherSisterIncest that way]]) and is more than willing to murder anyone who gets between them.
* Another western film to combine yandere with incest was the 2002 erotic thriller ''Killing Me Softly'' where the twist in the film turns out to be that [[spoiler:Adam didn't kill his previous lover, his psychotically possessive sister Deborah did, just as she tries to kill protagonist Alice, and even [[IfICantHaveYou Adam himself]] when he saves Alice from her.]]
* Mal Cobb in ''Film/{{Inception}}''. [[spoiler: While both alive ''and'' in her husband's subconcious]]. Although, she's in this state [[spoiler: because her husband MindRaped her into it, leaving us to wonder who the ''real'' yandere is here]].
** It's made explicit that the reason she's there is that Cobb can't let her go even though she's crazy, dead, and a serious danger to everyone, so this trope applies to both of them.
* Samantha James in the movie ''Film/JustFriends''.
* {{Dracula}} is reimagined as this in Creator/FrancisFordCoppola ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' towards Mina due to her being a reincarnation of his dead wife Elisabeta. When the count learns that Jonathan is going to marry Mina, Dracula's LivingShadow [[MurderTheHypotenuse makes moves to strangle Jonathan]]. It gets worse later when Dracula fails to court Mina and she marries Jonathan in budapest, Dracula starts crying TearsOfBlood, sends a storm after Mina and kills Lucy out of spite.
* Jareth for Sarah in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. He claims that he has done a lot of things to please Sarah, including taking her half-brother away like she wished for, and he calls her out on being "selfish." The truth, though, is that Sarah didn't know he really existed until he revealed himself to her and she doesn't know about the other wishes he's "granted." At one point, he expressed a hint of jealousy towards Hoggle and threatened to banish him to the Bog of Eternal Stench if Sarah kissed him.
* The Bishop of Aquila in ''Film/{{Ladyhawke}}'' is a male example of this regarding his unrequited love toward Isabeau d'Anjou and the man SHE loves (and who loves her back), Etienne Navarre. He set a curse that rendered Isabeau a hawk during the day and Etienne a wolf at night, ensuring [[IfICantHaveYou they could never be together as two humans for as long as they lived]].
* In ''Film/LeaveHerToHeaven'' Ellen is very much like this towards Richard.
* ''Film/LostHighway''. Mr Eddy: ''Her name is Alice. I swear I love that girl to death. If I ever found out someone was making out with her, I'd take this'' - pulls out a pistol - ''and shove it so far up his ass it would come out his mouth. Then you know what I'd do? I'd blow his fuckin' brains out''.
** Also, main character Fred Madison, toward his wife Renee (who [[MindScrew may or may not be the same person]] as Alice).
* Lola from ''Film/TheLovedOnes'' kidnaps a boy she has a crush on and tortures him to have her ideal prom night. It appears to be even more twisted though, as she has unresolved sexual feelings for ''[[ParentalIncest her father]]'' while she fiercely hates her catatonic mother.
* This is the whole plot of ''Film/{{Misery}}''. Kathy Bates won a very well-awarded Oscar for her portrayal of an obsessed fan of a male writer.
* Diane in ''Film/MulhollandDrive''.
* The FlyingBrick title character of ''Film/MySuperExGirlfriend'' (Uma Thurman) vows to destroy the protagonist's life after he breaks up with her. One memorable scene had her throw a shark into the bedroom of his new girlfriend after spending the night with her.
* In ''No Brother of Mine'', Drew is willing to do anything for his older sister. He would kill if it means protecting her.
* The aptly-titled film ''Film/{{Obsessed}}'' centers around this trope.
** The main plot of another film titled ''Obsessed'' is Idris Elba's main character in a PsychoticLoveTriangle with the woman he had an affair with and his wife. Now while this may [[NightmareFetishist sound hot to some]] many others would be praying for the sweet release of death from this scenario.
* Little Esther Coleman, the Russian ''Film/{{Orphan}}'', loves her new Daddy [[LoveMakesYouCrazy very]], ''very'' [[AxCrazy much]].
* ''The Perfect Assistant'' features an assistant becoming obsessed with her boss, David. After his wife is sent to the hospital and it's believed that she may die, the assistant happily rejoices at the prospect of him being available. However, the boss reveals that his wife will survive, but the assistant proceeds to MurderTheHypotenuse. She tries to come on to her boss during a trip in New York, which leads to him firing her. Her delusional mind makes her believe that he fired her because he didn't want their work relationship to collide with their real "relationship" and he formally denies anything there for them. She responds by grabbing a gun and planning to [[MurderSuicide shoot him and herself]] at a business dinner. Even when she's sent to jail for all of her crimes, she writes letters to him, still believing that there is a relationship.
* In ''The Perfect Teacher'', Devon falls hard for her new teacher, Jim. She befriends his young daughter, has fantasies about them having sex (nothing explicit is shown), and breaks into his house using a copy set of his keys. When she hears that Jim is going to move to San Diego because of his ex-wife, Devon kills the ex-wife and tries to confess to him. However, for obvious reasons, Jim rejects her and tries telling her that she just has a crush on him. In response to his rejection, she tells her father that Jim raped her, which nearly costs him his job.
* Before ''Fatal Attraction'' stole its iconic status, Clint Eastwood's ''Film/PlayMistyForMe'' was the reference movie for this trope. Eastwood's first directorial effort has him stalked by [[LoonyFan an obsessive fan]]. Who can frighten even ''Film/DirtyHarry'' and ''The Man With No Name''? Why, it's Jessica Walter (before she played the rich, alcoholic harpy Lucille on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''), a veteran TV actress normally so square you would expect her to wear a shoulder strap purse and sensible skirt in the shower or on the moon. The psychotically jealous Evelyn Draper was the performance of a lifetime for her, leading a generation to get creeped out whenever they heard the classic Erroll Garner tune on the radio.
* In the 2009 indie horror flick ''Possession'', Roman (Creator/LeePace) starts off as a TroubledButCute StalkerWithACrush towards his sister in law and lawyer Jess (Creator/SarahMichelleGellar) but then he gets into a car crash with his brother which leaves both comatose, but then Roman's body wakes up with his brothers soul in it [[spoiler: except its not her hubby, its just Roman pretending to be her hubby and he is ''not'' going to let anything, or anyone interfere with his "marriage".]]
* In ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' Akasha develops an attraction to Lestat after being taken with him when he plays the violin for her and allows him to drink her blood. After she wakes up centuries later she murders anyone who might prove a threat to Lestat and kidnaps him at his concert to have him for herself. She also killed her previous husband by ripping out his throat to make herself available, orders Lestat to murder Jesse to prove his love for her and tries to kill him without a second thought when he refuses.
* Princess Kaede in ''Film/{{Ran}}'' behaves like a yandere in many ways, but it's all (or at least mostly) an act. That is, the part in which she is madly in love with Jiro. The part in which she orders all competition killed and wants to murder him is real however.
* In the movie ''Film/RatRace'' Tracy goes into psycho mode when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with his ex. Upon seeing him and his ex in a steamy pool in the backyard, she attempts to nose dive at them in her helicopter and in their haste to avoid it they break the pool and the water sends them crashing into the side of his house. After that, she proceeds to drop things, including a can of pink paint, onto his truck, and chase him down in the chopper, while using the landing skids to destroy his truck. After running him off the road, she steals the truck upon finding her helicopter's engine is shot. She then yells and punches him in the face, almost strangles him with the truck window, puts a bra in his mouth and throws him out of the already running truck.
* Jackson Rippner in ''Film/RedEye'' to Lisa. Confirmed by WordOfGod in the commentary, Rippner did develop feelings for Lisa over the eight weeks he had to watch her. Not healthy feelings, but feelings nevertheless.
* Male example: Dr. Frank N Furter in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''. Sure, he [[AnythingThatMoves flirts with nearly everyone in the film]]. But, if [[BerserkButton he sees Rocky with ANYONE else besides him]], he goes into a jealous rage. Janet Weiss (SLUT!) had to learn this the hard way.
* The 2011 thriller ''Film/TheRoommate'' has one.
--> "I GOT RID OF EM ALL!!!! For you. . . ."
** The writer of this film was also involved in making another {{Yandere}} film: ''Crush (2013)''.
* The entire League of Evil Exes in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' is made up of these towards Ramona. On Scott's end, it's Knives Chau.
* Of all people, the ''Spirit of Christmas Present'' becomes a Yandere in ''Film/{{Scrooged}}''.
* Hedy (Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh) is sort of a LesYay version of this towards Allie (Bridget Fonda) in ''Film/SingleWhiteFemale''. She even [[MurderTheHypotenuse kills Allie's boyfriend]]. [[OutWithABang After blowing him]].
* In ''The Snake Pit'', the insane asylum's head nurse is one of these, getting jealous because she believes the main character is competition for Dr. Kik's affections. It should be added that there's absolutely ''no'' good reason to believe that Dr. Kik feels anything more than what he ought to for her, especially given that his goal is to get her well enough to leave with her ''husband''.
* Christy Lee in ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'', to a lesser extent. Intentionally setting your boyfriend's bed on fire is normal, right?
* Harriet from ''Film/SoIMarriedAnAxeMurderer'', who becomes a bit unhinged after winning over Charlie.
** In a subversion, this is because [[spoiler:''all'' of her previous husbands abandoned her and she's developed a complex -- or so she thinks. Turns out Harriet's ''sister'' was an insane {{Yandere}} for ''Harriet''. She murdered Harriet's husbands and faked their 'Dear Jane' notes to keep Harriet to herself and nearly does the same to Charlie near the end]].
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Anakin Skywalker ''lives'' this trope. He falls in love with exactly ''one'' girl, Padme Amidala, in his whole life, and they go from "old crush" to "man and wife" in the course of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Then he thinks she'll die in childbirth during ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', so he makes his FaceHeelTurn to TheDarkSide to prevent it... and then he ''Force Chokes her to near death''[[labelnote:*]]She later dies on the medical table after her childbirth.[[/labelnote]] because he got it into his head that she betrayed him for Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he saw as competition even though he really wasn't.
* Blue in ''Film/SuckerPunch'' is a definitive male version of this trope: creepy, violent, possessive, moody, delusional, obsessive, mood swingy, twisted sense of ownership, disrespectful, and insane.
* Uncle Charlie Stoker in ''Film/{{Stoker}}''. In the backstory, [[spoiler:he murdered his younger brother because he couldn't stand the fact that he got more attention from their older brother than him]]. Over the course of the film, it's revealed that he's in love with his niece, India, and [[spoiler:killed her father when her father took steps to try and keep Charlie away from her. He also kills India's housekeeper, aunt, and classmate -- though the classmate tried to rape her, so [[AssholeVictim both India and the audience are on Charlie's side there]]. The last straw for India is when he tries to kill her mother, after India already agreed to go to New York with him.]]
* In the 2007 film adaptation of ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'', Mrs. Nellie Lovett spends the movie jumping between swooning over her beloved "Mr. T" and gladly butchering his victims to make pie. This is consistent with her behavior in the stage musical. The yandere-ness, on the other hand, comes in [[spoiler:with her treatment of Lucy Barker, a.k.a. the Beggar Woman, and the way that she led Sweeney to believe that she was dead so that she could have him for herself]].
* Madison Bell of ''Film/{{Swimfan}}'', a Fatal Attraction story [[SettingUpdate set in high school in the modern day]].
* ''Film/{{Thor}}'': When Odin becomes ill just thinking about warring with the Frost Giants, Loki concludes that the best way to please his father is to blow up Jötunheim.
* In ''Film/Tormented1960'' we get a yandere ''ghost''. Disturbingly, the movie seems to consider her actions, and her perception of events, as ''[[ValuesDissonance perfectly justified]]''.
* Chad from ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'', for Allison.
* Cupid, in ''Film/{{Valentine}}'', is something new. He might think that the only human his girlfriend needs is him only.
* Lily from the "Amateur Night" segment in ''{{Film/VHS}}'' towards Clint. She repeatedly tells him "I like you", reacts violently when the other guys make a move on her, and takes Clint's rather understandable rejection of her advances very badly. She sobs in a CornerOfWoe, then pursues Clint in a fit of rage, refusing to take "no" for an answer. [[spoiler:She's also a vicious HumanoidAbomination called a "Lilith" who can tear people apart and can sprout wings. And according to the ''[[Film/Siren2016 SiREN]]'' full length feature film adaptation, Liliths mate for life...]]
* In ''Film/{{Villain}}'', when the VillainProtagonist Shimizu's girlfriend stands him up to go off with another guy, Shimizu follows them and kills her.
* Gloria in the 2005 film ''Film/WeddingCrashers'', which gave rise to the term "Stage 5 Clinger" to refer to people like this. "We're going to be together forever..."
* Victor Creed towards Logan in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', it's about a sibling relationship and not lovers, but it fits pretty well.
* The murderer in ''Film/AfterTheThinMan'' proves to one of these, played by [[spoiler: a young Creator/JimmyStewart]] no less.

->''"And don't you think I understand what you're doing? You're trying to move him into the country... and you're keeping him away from me. And you're playing happy family. Aren't you?'' [''begins to slice her own leg with a butcher knife''] ''You wouldn't understand that because you're so... so selfish. He told me about you. He told me about you. He was very honest. If you weren't so stupid, you'd know that. But you're so stupid. You're so stupid... you're a stupid, selfish bitch!"''

* In ''Film/SixtyEightKill'', the CuteAndPsycho Liza will go to any length to keep hold of her boyfriend Chip; including murder. She and her brother Dwayne massacre the gang of redneck crooks holding Chip hostage, and she seems to regards Chip's attempts to kill her in order to be free of her as nothing more than foreplay.
* Clinch of ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'' is shown to be perfectly willing to murder people when he learns his wife Anna kissed another man (Albert) as well as attempting to murder her in a case of IfICantHaveYou after she rejects and humiliates him. He also makes an effort to kill Albert but Albert defeats him.
* Played straight by Freddy himself in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010'' towards Nancy. While he intends to kill all the children for telling their parents he molested them, he saves Nancy for something worse because — as Nancy's mother admitted — she's his favorite one of all. While he abused the children sexually at school, he menaces Nancy nonstop with a perverted Yandere attitude that makes his antics in life seem tame. And when Quentin and Nancy develop feelings for each other, Freddy gets pretty jealous.
* Debbie Jellinsky from ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues'', who earned the nickname "BlackWidow" for murdering husbands who were too busy to give her the love she needed (it doesn't help that she, being a [[GoldDigger materialistic woman]], likes to marry men who have a lot of money, who usually have to work around the clock).
-->'''Debbie ''': Sorry, Debbie, no Mercedes this year. We have to set an example. Oh yeah? ''Set '''this'''''!
** She also murdered her family via burning her house down for [[DisproportionateRetribution getting her the wrong Barbie doll]]. Being ''The Addams Family'', the whole thing is played for laughs.
** Wednesday is possibly one for Joel. They establish a romantic connection at the camp and give each other nicknames ("cara mia" for Wednesday and "mon cher" for Joel). And her way of killing her husband? Scaring him to death, which she does to Joel in the end.
** Gomez for Morticia. He mentions that he would die for her...and that her would kill for her. Either way would be "bliss".
* Eve Harrington from ''Film/AllAboutEve'' pretends to be like this. She's the sweetest, humblest, most helpful young woman you'll ever meet, and above all else, wants to work entirely for and with Margo and model her life on Margo's, as closely as she can manage. Heaven help anyone who stands in the way of these things.
* In ''Film/{{Audition}}'', the male lead holds an audition for a girlfriend/wife under the guise of an audition for a movie, only to have the girl he picks be Asami... a very, very creepy yandere. [[spoiler: One scene involves the girl putting needles in the victim's eyes, all the while making an almost cutesy sound while gently (agonizingly) taping them in. In short, she tortures him for ''misleading her into believing he would love only her'', not for the fake movie audition. Very, very creepy]].
-->''Kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri...'''
* Edward Nygma (a.k.a. the Riddler) of ''Film/BatmanForever'' seems an awful lot like one of the male persuasion. This LoonyFan keeps pictures of Bruce Wayne on his desk (glamour shots from a ladies' magazine, yet), gets nervous and giggly when meeting Wayne for the first time as well as spouting unnerving phrases of devotion and insisting that Wayne accept his opus... and tipping completely off the deep end immediately after having his plan nixed by Bruce because it would raise [[MadnessMantra too many questions]].
-->'''Nygma:''' You were supposed to understand...I'll ''make'' you understand...
* Luv from ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' while it’s hard to discern whether her obsession with protagonist K comes from the Wallace Corporation orders or her own malfunctioning programming it becomes pretty apparent as movie goes on. [[spoiler: Like when Luv speaks of her attraction to K to his boss, destroying K’s {{Hologram}} girlfriend in front of him and giving K a ForcefulKiss in the FinalBattle... after stabbing him with a knife]].
* ''Film/BlueSteel'': Wall Street stock brocker Eugene Hunt becomes psychotically obsessed with rookie cop Megan Turner after he witnesses her gunning down an armed robber, and thinks they are soulmates. When she rejects him upon finding out that he's a murderer, he proceeds to kill her friends and anyone else close to her, and eventually rapes her.
* Big Brother Ma from the 2008 Chinese film ''Butterfly Lovers''. At first you think he's just going to be the UnluckyChildhoodFriend of the tale. And then the plot ensues...
%%* ''Film/TheCableGuy'' -- needs an explanation.
* [[spoiler:Lucille Sharpe]] from ''Film/CrimsonPeak'' is very possessive of her lover [[spoiler:and brother Thomas]]. When she finds out that he has fallen for someone else, she flips out and kills him in a fit of rage, then immediately starts sobbing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone over the deed she committed]].
* The 2009 film ''Crush'' features a supernatural version of this trope. . . . in the last 12 minutes. One that can actually shoot Hadoukens. And she succeeds in the end.
* In ''Film/TheCrush'', Adrian loves Nick so much she's willing to kill his girlfriend and her own friend to get him. What makes things even worse is that she is fourteen years old, and Nick is much older. Fortunately, she doesn't succeed.
* Joanie in ''Film/{{Cursed 2005}}'', a [[spoiler: werewolf]] variation.
* Angelique in ''Film/DarkShadows''. Dear God, Angelique. It's not enough to simply [[spoiler:kill the parents of the man who spurned you]], to really get his heart you apparently have to [[spoiler:kill his girlfriend, turn him into a vampire so he can never die]], then [[spoiler:lock him in an iron box so that he's left to suffer for eternity, as well as curse his descendants]].
* Debbie in the movie ''Devil In The Flesh'' and it's sequel ''Devil In The Flesh 2''.
* Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in ''Film/FatalAttraction''. The main character's fling with her was supposed to be a one-night stand, but Alex simply ''would not let go'', and the further he tried to distance himself from her, the crazier she got until she eventually went off the deep end. Her [[MoralEventHorizon most infamous act]] gave rise to the slang term "bunny-boiler" to refer to yandere-types in the West. Glenn Close as the ''Yandere'' was one of the reasons that ''Film/FatalAttraction'' was popular in Japan. Not for nothing is Alex Forrest ranked #7 on AFI' s "Villains" List.
* Creator/MarkWahlberg's character David [=McCall=] in the 1996 movie ''Film/{{Fear}}'' has this for Nicole (Creator/ReeseWitherspoon). He becomes so obsessed with her that [[CrazyJealousGuy he beats up a male friend at her school for even talking to her]], manipulates her to resent her protective father Steven (Creator/WilliamPetersen) while sexually abusing her female friend, Margo (Creator/AlyssaMilano) behind her back, carves her name into his chest, and near the end of the movie tries to invade her family's home with his friends and starts by ''cutting off her dog's head''.
* Marina (Ma Rina) from ''Friend Request'' seems to be a platonic version. She was a lonely girl who didn't have any Website/{{Facebook}} friends until Laura accepted her request. She becomes overly attached to Laura and starts doing weird things like photoshopping them together and messaging her excessively. Then after Laura celebrates her birthday without Marina, she makes a scene in public, demanding an explanation. This leads to her [[SpurnedIntoSuicide committing suicide]] and [[MurderTheHypotenuse killing Laura's friends]]. She also publishes certain events, which causes her friend count to plummet. [[spoiler:It's implied in the end that Marina possesses Laura, or does something else to her, making them friends forever.]]
* In the film ''Film/GoneGirl'', [[spoiler:Amy is a psychopathic, murderous Yandere towards her husband; her tirade begins with the fact that her husband is not living up to her expectations for him when she was more than willing to surpass his expectations for her]].
* The French film ''Film/HeLovesMeHeLovesMeNot'' (''À la folie... pas du tout'') is about [[spoiler:a young woman who at first appears to be in a relationship with an emotionally distant doctor, until the second half, when it turns out that ''he didn't know her at all'']].
* In the French film ''Film/HighTension'', this trope is exemplified in [[spoiler: the protagonist, Marie, who creates an alternate personality to brutally murder the family of her [[PsychoLesbian lesbian crush]], Alex... simply so that she could have her all to herself]].
* [[spoiler:Liz Dunn]] from the British movie ''Film/TheHole'', who [[spoiler:locks herself, her best friend, the guy she fancies and his best friend in the bunker in order to get the guy to notice her. She won't stop even when the situation [[FromBadToWorse deteriorates]]]].
* Creator/{{Lifetime}} Movies:
** ''Homecoming'' is one, with a plot somewhat similar to ''Film/{{Misery}}''. One of the few instances where the film is built around the torturing of her "beloved's" romantic interests.
** ''Maternal Obsession'' (formerly titled ''Her Only Child'') which features mother, Inez, having this for her own daughter, Lily. She does everything to sabotage her child's relationship with Larry, the current love interest. Even going as far to cut herself and making the family dog sick. The daughter confronts her mother about her behavior and finds that she sabotaged other relationships by hiring thugs to beat up an ex-boyfriend, Michael. At some point [[spoiler:Inez pulls a gun on Larry and then threatens to kill herself]].
** ''Film/NoOneWouldTell'', Bobby (played by Creator/FredSavage) in the [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek TV movie]].
*** Sandy Burrow (Joely Fisher) from ''Seduction in a Small Town'' is a great example of a Lifetime-like Yandere: when she throws herself at Paul Jenks (Dennis Weaver) and is rebuffed because he's HappilyMarried to Sarah ([[Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Melissa Gilbert]]), among other things, she gets so pissed that she falsely accuses them both of being horrible AbusiveParents to their two kids and gets them thrown in jail. ''Twice''.
** ''You Belong to Me'', another Lifetime movie, combines all the classic stalker tropes. Michael [=McBride=] is a StalkerWithACrush who tried to MurderTheHypotenuse in order to have Alex, his boss, all to himself. When he confessed his "love" for her though, he was rejected and tried to pull a MurderSuicide so that they could be together in death. Even beyond the grave, he still tried to kill Alex so that they can be TogetherInDeath.
* [[spoiler: Captain Leo]] becomes this towards the end of ''Film/HouseOfFlyingDaggers'', once it's clear that [[spoiler: his ActionGirlfriend Mei has fallen for his friend Jin]].
* Jackie from ''Film/TheHouseOfYes'' is madly in love with her brother Marty (yes, in [[BrotherSisterIncest that way]]) and is more than willing to murder anyone who gets between them.
* Another western film to combine yandere with incest was the 2002 erotic thriller ''Killing Me Softly'' where the twist in the film turns out to be that [[spoiler:Adam didn't kill his previous lover, his psychotically possessive sister Deborah did, just as she tries to kill protagonist Alice, and even [[IfICantHaveYou Adam himself]] when he saves Alice from her.]]
* Mal Cobb in ''Film/{{Inception}}''. [[spoiler: While both alive ''and'' in her husband's subconcious]]. Although, she's in this state [[spoiler: because her husband MindRaped her into it, leaving us to wonder who the ''real'' yandere is here]].
** It's made explicit that the reason she's there is that Cobb can't let her go even though she's crazy, dead, and a serious danger to everyone, so this trope applies to both of them.
* Samantha James in the movie ''Film/JustFriends''.
* {{Dracula}} is reimagined as this in Creator/FrancisFordCoppola ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' towards Mina due to her being a reincarnation of his dead wife Elisabeta. When the count learns that Jonathan is going to marry Mina, Dracula's LivingShadow [[MurderTheHypotenuse makes moves to strangle Jonathan]]. It gets worse later when Dracula fails to court Mina and she marries Jonathan in budapest, Dracula starts crying TearsOfBlood, sends a storm after Mina and kills Lucy out of spite.
* Jareth for Sarah in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. He claims that he has done a lot of things to please Sarah, including taking her half-brother away like she wished for, and he calls her out on being "selfish." The truth, though, is that Sarah didn't know he really existed until he revealed himself to her and she doesn't know about the other wishes he's "granted." At one point, he expressed a hint of jealousy towards Hoggle and threatened to banish him to the Bog of Eternal Stench if Sarah kissed him.
* The Bishop of Aquila in ''Film/{{Ladyhawke}}'' is a male example of this regarding his unrequited love toward Isabeau d'Anjou and the man SHE loves (and who loves her back), Etienne Navarre. He set a curse that rendered Isabeau a hawk during the day and Etienne a wolf at night, ensuring [[IfICantHaveYou they could never be together as two humans for as long as they lived]].
* In ''Film/LeaveHerToHeaven'' Ellen is very much like this towards Richard.
* ''Film/LostHighway''. Mr Eddy: ''Her name is Alice. I swear I love that girl to death. If I ever found out someone was making out with her, I'd take this'' - pulls out a pistol - ''and shove it so far up his ass it would come out his mouth. Then you know what I'd do? I'd blow his fuckin' brains out''.
** Also, main character Fred Madison, toward his wife Renee (who [[MindScrew may or may not be the same person]] as Alice).
* Lola from ''Film/TheLovedOnes'' kidnaps a boy she has a crush on and tortures him to have her ideal prom night. It appears to be even more twisted though, as she has unresolved sexual feelings for ''[[ParentalIncest her father]]'' while she fiercely hates her catatonic mother.
* This is the whole plot of ''Film/{{Misery}}''. Kathy Bates won a very well-awarded Oscar for her portrayal of an obsessed fan of a male writer.
* Diane in ''Film/MulhollandDrive''.
* The FlyingBrick title character of ''Film/MySuperExGirlfriend'' (Uma Thurman) vows to destroy the protagonist's life after he breaks up with her. One memorable scene had her throw a shark into the bedroom of his new girlfriend after spending the night with her.
* In ''No Brother of Mine'', Drew is willing to do anything for his older sister. He would kill if it means protecting her.
* The aptly-titled film ''Film/{{Obsessed}}'' centers around this trope.
** The main plot of another film titled ''Obsessed'' is Idris Elba's main character in a PsychoticLoveTriangle with the woman he had an affair with and his wife. Now while this may [[NightmareFetishist sound hot to some]] many others would be praying for the sweet release of death from this scenario.
* Little Esther Coleman, the Russian ''Film/{{Orphan}}'', loves her new Daddy [[LoveMakesYouCrazy very]], ''very'' [[AxCrazy much]].
* ''The Perfect Assistant'' features an assistant becoming obsessed with her boss, David. After his wife is sent to the hospital and it's believed that she may die, the assistant happily rejoices at the prospect of him being available. However, the boss reveals that his wife will survive, but the assistant proceeds to MurderTheHypotenuse. She tries to come on to her boss during a trip in New York, which leads to him firing her. Her delusional mind makes her believe that he fired her because he didn't want their work relationship to collide with their real "relationship" and he formally denies anything there for them. She responds by grabbing a gun and planning to [[MurderSuicide shoot him and herself]] at a business dinner. Even when she's sent to jail for all of her crimes, she writes letters to him, still believing that there is a relationship.
* In ''The Perfect Teacher'', Devon falls hard for her new teacher, Jim. She befriends his young daughter, has fantasies about them having sex (nothing explicit is shown), and breaks into his house using a copy set of his keys. When she hears that Jim is going to move to San Diego because of his ex-wife, Devon kills the ex-wife and tries to confess to him. However, for obvious reasons, Jim rejects her and tries telling her that she just has a crush on him. In response to his rejection, she tells her father that Jim raped her, which nearly costs him his job.
* Before ''Fatal Attraction'' stole its iconic status, Clint Eastwood's ''Film/PlayMistyForMe'' was the reference movie for this trope. Eastwood's first directorial effort has him stalked by [[LoonyFan an obsessive fan]]. Who can frighten even ''Film/DirtyHarry'' and ''The Man With No Name''? Why, it's Jessica Walter (before she played the rich, alcoholic harpy Lucille on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''), a veteran TV actress normally so square you would expect her to wear a shoulder strap purse and sensible skirt in the shower or on the moon. The psychotically jealous Evelyn Draper was the performance of a lifetime for her, leading a generation to get creeped out whenever they heard the classic Erroll Garner tune on the radio.
* In the 2009 indie horror flick ''Possession'', Roman (Creator/LeePace) starts off as a TroubledButCute StalkerWithACrush towards his sister in law and lawyer Jess (Creator/SarahMichelleGellar) but then he gets into a car crash with his brother which leaves both comatose, but then Roman's body wakes up with his brothers soul in it [[spoiler: except its not her hubby, its just Roman pretending to be her hubby and he is ''not'' going to let anything, or anyone interfere with his "marriage".]]
* In ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' Akasha develops an attraction to Lestat after being taken with him when he plays the violin for her and allows him to drink her blood. After she wakes up centuries later she murders anyone who might prove a threat to Lestat and kidnaps him at his concert to have him for herself. She also killed her previous husband by ripping out his throat to make herself available, orders Lestat to murder Jesse to prove his love for her and tries to kill him without a second thought when he refuses.

Upon seeing him and his ex in a steamy pool in the backyard, she attempts to nose dive at them in her helicopter and in their haste to avoid it they break the pool and the water sends them crashing into the side of his house. After that, she proceeds to drop things, including a can of pink paint, onto his truck, and chase him down in the chopper, while using the landing skids to destroy his truck. After running him off the road, she steals the truck upon finding her helicopter's engine is shot. She then yells and punches him in the face, almost strangles him with the truck window, puts a bra in his mouth and throws him out of the already running truck.
* Jackson Rippner in ''Film/RedEye'' to Lisa. Confirmed by WordOfGod in the commentary, Rippner did develop feelings for Lisa over the eight weeks he had to watch her. Not healthy feelings, but feelings nevertheless.
* Male example: Dr. Frank N Furter in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''. Sure, he [[AnythingThatMoves flirts with nearly everyone in the film]]. But, if [[BerserkButton he sees Rocky with ANYONE else besides him]], he goes into a jealous rage. Janet Weiss (SLUT!) had to learn this the hard way.

* Hedy (Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh) is sort of a LesYay version of this towards Allie (Bridget Fonda) in ''Film/SingleWhiteFemale''. She even [[MurderTheHypotenuse kills Allie's boyfriend]]. [[OutWithABang After blowing him]].
* In ''The Snake Pit'', the insane asylum's head nurse is one of these, getting jealous because she believes the main character is competition for Dr. Kik's affections. It should be added that there's absolutely ''no'' good reason to believe that Dr. Kik feels anything more than what he ought to for her, especially given that his goal is to get her well enough to leave with her ''husband''.
* Christy Lee in ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'', to a lesser extent. Intentionally setting your boyfriend's bed on fire is normal, right?
* Harriet from ''Film/SoIMarriedAnAxeMurderer'', who becomes a bit unhinged after winning over Charlie.
** In a subversion, this is because [[spoiler:''all'' of her previous husbands abandoned her and she's developed a complex -- or so she thinks. Turns out Harriet's ''sister'' was an insane {{Yandere}} for ''Harriet''. She murdered Harriet's husbands and faked their 'Dear Jane' notes to keep Harriet to herself and nearly does the same to Charlie near the end]].
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Anakin Skywalker ''lives'' this trope. He falls in love with exactly ''one'' girl, Padme Amidala, in his whole life, and they go from "old crush" to "man and wife" in the course of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Then he thinks she'll die in childbirth during ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', so he makes his FaceHeelTurn to TheDarkSide to prevent it... and then he ''Force Chokes her to near death''[[labelnote:*]]She later dies on the medical table after her childbirth.[[/labelnote]] because he got it into his head that she betrayed him for Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he saw as competition even though he really wasn't.
* Blue in ''Film/SuckerPunch'' is a definitive male version of this trope: creepy, violent, possessive, moody, delusional, obsessive, mood swingy, twisted sense of ownership, disrespectful, and insane.
* Uncle Charlie Stoker in ''Film/{{Stoker}}''. In the backstory, [[spoiler:he murdered his younger brother because he couldn't stand the fact that he got more attention from their older brother than him]]. Over the course of the film, it's revealed that he's in love with his niece, India, and [[spoiler:killed her father when her father took steps to try and keep Charlie away from her. He also kills India's housekeeper, aunt, and classmate -- though the classmate tried to rape her, so [[AssholeVictim both India and the audience are on Charlie's side there]]. The last straw for India is when he tries to kill her mother, after India already agreed to go to New York with him.]]
* In the 2007 film adaptation of ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'', Mrs. Nellie Lovett spends the movie jumping between swooning over her beloved "Mr. T" and gladly butchering his victims to make pie. This is consistent with her behavior in the stage musical. The yandere-ness, on the other hand, comes in [[spoiler:with her treatment of Lucy Barker, a.k.a. the Beggar Woman, and the way that she led Sweeney to believe that she was dead so that she could have him for herself]].
* Madison Bell of ''Film/{{Swimfan}}'', a Fatal Attraction story [[SettingUpdate set in high school in the modern day]].
* ''Film/{{Thor}}'': When Odin becomes ill just thinking about warring with the Frost Giants, Loki concludes that the best way to please his father is to blow up Jötunheim.
* In ''Film/Tormented1960'' we get a yandere ''ghost''. Disturbingly, the movie seems to consider her actions, and her perception of events, as ''[[ValuesDissonance perfectly justified]]''.
* Chad from ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'', for Allison.
* Cupid, in ''Film/{{Valentine}}'', is something new. He might think that the only human his girlfriend needs is him only.
* Lily from the "Amateur Night" segment in ''{{Film/VHS}}'' towards Clint. She repeatedly tells him "I like you", reacts violently when the other guys make a move on her, and takes Clint's rather understandable rejection of her advances very badly. She sobs in a CornerOfWoe, then pursues Clint in a fit of rage, refusing to take "no" for an answer. [[spoiler:She's also a vicious HumanoidAbomination called a "Lilith" who can tear people apart and can sprout wings. And according to the ''[[Film/Siren2016 SiREN]]'' full length feature film adaptation, Liliths mate for life...]]
* In ''Film/{{Villain}}'', when the VillainProtagonist Shimizu's girlfriend stands him up to go off with another guy, Shimizu follows them and kills her.
* Gloria in the 2005 film ''Film/WeddingCrashers'', which gave rise to the term "Stage 5 Clinger" to refer to people like this. "We're going to be together forever..."
* Victor Creed towards Logan in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', it's about a sibling relationship and not lovers, but it fits pretty well.
* The murderer in ''Film/AfterTheThinMan'' proves to one of these, played by [[spoiler: a young Creator/JimmyStewart]] no less.
