So you like one-dimensional characters? Zombies are usually a metaphor for humanity in films, and a lot of the "villians" you listed are fleshed-out, human-like characters. A true villian would have both good qualities and bad, because somebody who's just pure evil isn't an interesting character.
Hannibal DID care for Starling, he respected her mind and obviously had enough feelings to chop his hand off instead of her's in Hannibal. The guy from Seven thought he was doing something to benefit humanity. Buffalo Bill.....well yeah, he was just a psycho.
