Cape Fear (1991)

In Martin Scorsese's remake of the original 1962 film with Robert Mitchum:

• the portrayal of vengeful psychotic Max Cady (Robert De Niro) threatening lawyer Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) and his wife Leigh (Jessica Lange) and daughter
• Max's confrontation on the street with Sam Bowden as he drove along in an open convertible
• the scene of Cady handcuffing the hands of law clerk Lori Davis (Illeana Douglas) behind her back, then viciously biting off a chunk of her cheek and savagely raping and beating her - sending her to the hospital with a mauled face and broken arm
• another brutal and unsettling scene, in which Cady strangled Sam's hired private investigator Claude Kersek (Joe Don Baker) with a garrotte, and shot him in the head as he struggled (blood showered onto both of them), and then spoke into his ear: "How about that present that you like, you white-trash piece of s--t"
• the tense and very disturbing, repellent yet fascinating scene when he posed as a drama teacher on the set of a play in the school's auditorium and then proceeded to verbally and physically seduce (she sucked on his thumb) and kiss the rebellious, naive, sexually-curious and troubled fifteen-year old daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis) - with her dual responses of fear and excitement

Seduction of Daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis)

• the climactic houseboat confrontation on Cape Fear River when Cady was handcuffed to their houseboat and drowned while speaking madly in tongues when the boat sank
