20 Greatest Horror Villains Of The 2020s (So Far)

6. Remmick - Sinners

The vampire subgenre feels so thoroughly done to death in 2025, so it's especially impressive that Ryan Coogler breathed such confident new life into it with his southern fried horror Sinners.

And while the film has so much going for it, where would it be without its blood-sucking lead vamp Remmick (Jack O'Connell)?

Though at first it appears that Remmick might be a rather shallow stand-in for white supremacists, he's actually far more interesting than that - an ancient, Irish immigrant who wishes to build himself a new family of vampires in order to compensate for his own lost community.

But as infectiously entertaining as that Irish jig might be, make no mistake, he's still a savagely violent villain any way you slice it, albeit one with considerably greater dimension than your average vampire pack leader.

Jack O'Connell is also terrific in the role, ensuring Remmick is a villain the audience can at least understand, even as aspects of his backstory remain enticingly vague.
