Let’s talk about the eyes that made me lock my doors: Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica in ‘Dune: Part Two.’ Okay, she’s morally gray, but those Bene Gesserit stares? Pure ice. And in anime adaptations, ‘The Last of Us’ gave us Melanie Lynskey’s Kathleen—her quiet, dead-eyed ruthlessness was scarier than any clicker. Bonus: Nicholas Hoult in ‘Renfield.’ His Dracula had this decadent, bored predator vibe. 2023 understood the power of a good glare.

Oh, the ‘sinister eyes’ award for 2023 totally goes to Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. Wait, hear me out—I know he’s technically the protagonist, but that man’s gaze in ‘Oppenheimer’ was haunting. The way Nolan framed his close-ups, those blue eyes burning with guilt and obsession? Chills. For a more traditional villain, though, I’d nominate David Harbour’s Santa in ‘Violent Night.’ Who knew jolly old St. Nick could glare like a mob boss?

2023’s villain roster had some unforgettable stares. Mia Goth in ‘Pearl’—her wide-eyed, unhinged grin lives in my head rent-free. And Pedro Pascal in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ played this unhinged fanboy with this weirdly endearing yet terrifying intensity. Like, you’d trust him to water your plants but also suspect he’d steal your identity. Villainy was diverse last year.

Sinister eyes? Easy. Jenna Ortega in ‘Scream VI.’ Girl weaponized her eyeliner and trauma into this dare you to look away energy. And for a wildcard: the AI ‘M3GAN’—those uncanny robot blinks made me side-eye my smart speaker. Special shoutout to ‘Talk to Me’s’ possessed teens, though. Their blacked-out eyes still haunt my TikTok FYP.

Man, 2023 had some seriously chilling villains! One performance that stuck with me was Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.' Those piercing, almost otherworldly eyes of his made every scene feel like he was peeling back layers of reality just to mess with the heroes. Majors brought this unsettling mix of calm and menace—like he didn’t even need to raise his voice to make you feel tiny.

Then there’s Bill Skarsgård in 'John Wick: Chapter 4.' Dude’s got this natural creep factor, but as the Marquis de Gramont, he dialed it up to eleven. The way his eyes just… didn’t blink? Ugh, nightmare fuel. And let’s not forget Aubrey Plaza in 'The White Lotus' Season 2—not a movie, but her deadpan stare while scheming was chef’s kiss. Honestly, 2023 was stacked with villains who could kill you with a look.

Who played the villain with 'the devil eyes' in recent films?

The first actor that springs to mind is Willem Dafoe—his piercing gaze in 'The Lighthouse' was downright unsettling. There’s something about how he widens his eyes just a fraction too much, like he’s peering into your soul. But if we’re talking recent films, I’d argue Mads Mikkelsen’s turn as Grindelwald in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' fits the bill. His cold, calculating stare feels like it could freeze lava. And let’s not forget Colin Farrell’s Penguin in 'The Batman'—those eerie contact lenses made his eyes look almost reptilian. What’s fascinating is how these actors use their eyes to convey menace without relying on CGI. Dafoe’s performances often feel like he’s channeling some ancient folklore about trickster spirits, while Mikkelsen’s subtle eyebrow twitches can make a simple conversation feel like a threat. It’s wild how much storytelling happens in the silences between their lines. I’ve rewatched scenes just to study their eye movements—it’s like a masterclass in villainy.
