even though its a banned movie and overused (especially on this wiki) Alan Yates is a hell of an interesting CM because at first you think he's the good guy and a victim, then you see progressively how much of a demon he is.. the movie itself is exploitation crap but if you remove yourself from that and take it for the "nasty" it is you can argue Alan Yates is a rare example of a CM with some actual depth.. he doesn't start as a grinning maniac but definitely becomes one by the end.

In contrast you get guys like Peter Stegman who are introduced evil and remain evil throughout the film, I don't hate Stegman but I feel he lacks the same factor as guys like Yates because you know Stegman is evil from the start and thus aren't (quite) as shocked by him.
