Did you ever watch the original Nosferatu? The vampire in that was pretty monstrous looking too, not in the vein of Twilight etc.
I haven't but I fail to see why a 100 year old film is relevant to current films? My comment only works because they went with a remake of a monster movie. I specifically found it to be refreshing because it was a new movie falling back to that older formula.
It's relevant because the new film is a remake of that 100 year old film, that's why I mentioned it and noted that there's not much that's innovative about it.
I know the origin. My point is that doing something monstrous with vampires instead of making them some misunderstood character or a hot anti-hero is REFRESHING AND DIFFERENT. You don't need to innovate to do either of those things. In fact I think it's even more impressive that they chose to remake a silent film and do it as well as they did. Bill Skarsgard was creepy AF.
