A man testing others to see if they can abide by game rules but also adding in some mind games by testing their will to save or kill.

Nosferatu 1979.
This is more focused on Klaus Kinski manacing creepy performance, the way he looks, talks and moves and able to not blink for long period of time.

Jack Torrance. The Shinning 1980.
A somewhat happy family man locked away in a hotel during winter, with the haunted past of the hotel, is it the sprits or cabin fever that slowly turns him homicidal.

This more like playing god with artificial intelligence that wants to be human by any means necessary and Robert Vaughn's voice as the computer which can be very manipulative.
