What doBill Skarsgard,Justin Long,Daniel Kaluuya, andPatrick Wilsonall have in common?

They are all considered “Scream Kings.”

This is a term for an actor who is particularly known for their roles in the horror genre.

Kick off the New Year with a slew of new must-see horror movies!

Compare this toThe Menu, with a far more condemning tone for its characters and their outlook on life.

Hoult executes this successfully inNosferatu.

The rising desperation of Thomas heightens the stakes surrounding Nosferatu and our fear of his power.

Yet, by the end, Hoult’s performance involves a level of frustration that completely changes his agency.

Because of this, I, for one, look forward to seeing what this Scream King does next.
