Human Nature

While his lonely wife yearns for his touch, disturbed husband Harry (Donny James Lucas) shuns her advances and throws his energy into his unusual hobby: abducting beautiful women and torturing them in his garage. This terrifying gore fest directed by Vince D'Amato is twisted enough -- until you find out it's based on real events. (Then, it's even creepier.) The supporting cast includes Cynthia Potvin, Dana McLoughlin and Tamara Pender.

Directed by Vince D'Amato, Human Nature leans on a strong ensemble — Donny Lucas, Cynthia Potvin, Dana McLoughlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2004.
