Nosferatu revival sparks interest in attractive monster characters in film

The recent release of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu has sparked interest in "hot" monsters, with Bill Skarsgård's vampire character gaining significant fan attention. This contrasts with traditional romantic leads, as audiences are drawn to the complexity of monstrous figures. Upcoming adaptations, including Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein featuring Jacob Elordi, continue this trend. Elordi's portrayal of the monster combines his good looks with horror elements, appealing to fans of the genre. Other recent films also showcase attractive monster characters, such as Christopher Abbott in Wolf Man and Tommy Dewey in Your Monster. These portrayals challenge conventional masculinity and highlight emotional depth in monstrous figures.
