I’m looking for movies that depict Christian killers of some kind, from slasher films like The Night of the Hunter and Martin Scorcese’s remake of Cape Fear (where the killer is a Pentecostal) to less incendiary accounts like Robert Duvall’s The Apostle. Really, any sort of violence will do–think of Mandy Moore’s car slamming into the Jesus statue in Saved!–but I’m most interested in movies where Christians go for the kill. 

Can you help? Any ideas?
To jog your thinking, the last scene from Cape Fear, complete with speaking in tongues (and–warning–brutal violence. And embarrassing filmmaking):
