I also kind of consider "I am Legend" based on a Vampire theme, don't you think?http://www.virginmedia.com/images/i-am-legend.jpg

You can download a bunch using bittorrents and if you have a newer computer and a HD TV you can get a HDMI cable and watch them on your TV

BRAM STROKERS DRACULA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

[jaycanuck]

Christopher Lee's Dracula creeped me out when I was a kid.

[tsslutboy]

Nosferatu, Interview with a Vampire or 30days of night r good to

[Dinand]

Agree with Bram Stroker's Dracula but also Count Yorga en The Return of Count Yorga.

Now these are excellent as far as porn goes my favorite is James Avalon's Les Vampyres,when purchasing this it came with this real cool comic book. 8)

[bourbonheaven]

A new one that just came out called "Let the right one in" is really good.

I also enjoyed "Interview with a Vampire".

[ILuvGurls]

BRAM STROKERS DRACULA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

:rock2

[Avenged01]

It's gotta be the lost boys. I used to watch that film all the time!

[Dirky]

I prefer my vampires naked and female.

http://www.horrorstew.com/images/VampyresBoxTop.jpg

Vampyres

I'll also agree that you can't go wrong with any Hammer/ Christopher Lee vampire movie. George Romero's Martin was also a unique film that fucked with the vampire genre.

Twilight was just lame.

[Deimos]

Balde, Blade 2, Blade Trinity

Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Underworld Rise Of The Lycans

Interview With The Vampire

John Carpenter's Vampires

Bram Stoker's Dracula

The Hammer films of yesteryear, anything with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Bela Lugosi, or Frank Langella will always be classic for years to come.

[trish]

I was thinking the exact same thing, Leora.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

is an incredible movie on all levels.

[Quiet Reflections]

Interview with a Vampire and Bram Stroker's Dracula

[Dirky]

I was thinking the exact same thing, Leora.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

is an incredible movie on all levels.

That was a strange one, indeed. Unlike any other vampire movie I've ever seen. It's haunting and sticks with you for days on end.

[tsmandy]

Without a doubt Let the Right One in. I've never seen a vampire movie that even remotely compares (in my mind).

That movie broke my heart.

Watching Let the Right One in was like reading Octavia Butler's Fledgling, it just gave me a completely different respect for the genre of Vampire lore.

Co-sign on that one.Those others can't even compare too bad they are remaking it "american style".

[LuciaMiel]

DEF interview with the vampire.. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise looking all fine and acting semi queer at each other makes me whet

[SarahG]

It's hard to beat Blade, and the movie has to get bonus pts for having him drive a 68 Charger (its a 68, watch for the taillights in the... 1 scene that show them clear enough to see).

[peggygee]

Also like Nosferatu, and the Blade series.

And I enjoy the writings of the late African-American
authoress Octavia E. Butler

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1500000/Queen-of-the-Damned-queen-of-the-damned-1577326-800-600.jpg

Real story, real author, history and the best soundtrack of any vampire movie.

[Dirky]

I must also put in a plug for Near Dark, an awesome movie. The bar room brawl between the vampires and the bikers was a classic.

[Jericho]

George Romero's Martin was also a unique film that fucked with the vampire genre.

I'd forgotten about that one!

[Nashvegas]

im currently DVRing the lost boys, never seen it so hopefully its good

[rockabilly]

Has anybody seen The Forsaken? It's as if they tried to modernize Near Dark. Oh and they shelved the remake of Near Dark.

[Distance]

These are my favorites, although I do also like the blade series, Vampires (Carpenter's), Nosferatu (the 1922 version, very camp but fun) and Dusk till Dawn.

http://pipeline.refinery29.com/pipeline/img/the-hunger-sexiest-movies.jpg


http://www.impawards.com/1967/posters/fearless_vampire_killers.jpg

A lot of crappy Vampire movies have been released, and some are just plainly dull and bear no originality (sorry), namely Queen of the Damned -although the soundtrack is fantastic- and that teeny sugar coated one, Twilight.

Forsaken, I had heard a lot of good stuff about it, and I forgot to actually go and see it. Gonna download this right away.

[rockabilly]

Queen of the Damned changed alot from the book. Supposedly The Tale of the Body Thief is gonna be made one day. I haven't read those books in years. I liked 30 days of night , and in Lost Boys 2 they could have made it clearer that the brother and sister protagonists were Michael and Stars children.

[EyeCumInPiece]

I must also put in a plug for Near Dark, an awesome movie. The bar room brawl between the vampires and the bikers was a classic.

Damn i forgot about that one. Awesome choice.

[rockabilly]

How about Vamp w/ Grace Jones ? Vampire strippers years before From Dusk till Dawn.

[Deimos]

I almost forgot Vampire in Broklyn, great tip of the hat the explotation films like Blacula

[HP1000]

In my book, Dusk Till Dawn was one of the best films out there, a very diverse feature with multiple stars.....
The Soundtract to the movie is incredible and you should buy it!
What guy can resist Selma Hayek nearly nude! Latin women really turn me on...

My second pic would be Ann Rice's "Interview with a Vampire"

[shemale-411]

I'll always love the movie "Fright Night" It was onen of those films that I really wish I'd seen on the big screen. Roddy McDowell was awesoem, but all around the movie just rocked!

[dderek123]

30 days of night

[fred41]

I like the Blade series, but Willem Dafoe's "Shadow of the Vampire" was an interesting twist on the "Nosferatu" movie...and how it was made.

[transmaven]

Jean Rollin's masterpiece The Living Dead Girl:

Vampire's Kiss

"Am I getting through to you Alva"

the Nicholas Cage/Jennifer Beals vampire movie ?
i get this mix up with another cool vampire called "Midnight Kiss. "

[pantybulge69]

check out " LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. "
Vastly unique and underrated vampire movie.
Vampire kid becomes friend, protector and guardian to a shy kid
who is 'being bullied by fellow schoolmates and neighborhood kids.

[pantybulge69]

Agree with Bram Stroker's Dracula but also Count Yorga en The Return of Count Yorga.


i really liked Count Yorga movies. Both Yorga and Blacula movies
had a creepy dark element to them.
Ditto for Vampire Circus, ..a great Hammer classic vampire movie was.

[pantybulge69]

Christopher Lee's Dracula creeped me out when I was a kid.

i thought both Lee and Peter Cushing were so cool to watch when i
was a kid. What would i have done without the good ole
Hammer Horror films and Godzilla movies to grow up on ? ...... :wink:

Damn right! .... such a cool, creepy, unique vampire movie !! 8)

[rockabilly]

And dont forget " The Fearless Vampire Killers " that movie is so funny.

[eclipsemint]

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992)

Without Kristy there would have been no Sarah.

Cast: Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul (Pee Wee Herman) Reubens, Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, David Arquette, Ricki Lake, Ben Affleck et al.

PS: The owners of the Buffy brandname are planning a revamp (excuse pun) of the Buffy franchise with all new cast, (trying to cash in on Twilight's succe$$).

[eclipsemint]

Let the Right One In

Now why would this vampire movie be popular on HA?

"Oskar takes Eli to a candy store and offers her a piece. At first, she refuses; then she tries one. Oskar finds her heaving on the sidewalk around the corner. He hugs her.

Eli asks him whether or not he would still like her if she wasn't a girl.

"I guess so," Oskar replies, not quite understanding what Eli is asking.

...later...

Eli crawls into bed with him, and Oskar notices that she doesn't have any clothes on. He asks her whether she'd like to go steady with him, and Eli replies "I'm not a girl." That doesn't seem to bother Oskar, so they decide to go steady.

Hmm Hmmm.

Dash-dot-dash, dot-dot, dot-dot-dot, dot-dot-dot.

[Andrew Johnson]

James Avalon's "Les Vampyres" for me. It gives a nod to a couple of classic vamp flicks.....but it's a hardcore porno!

[matrixdave]

my picks are BRAMS DRACULA, ALL THE UNDERWORLD, BLADE 1,2.DUSK TILL DAWN, TRUE BLOOD ON HBO. AND PEOPLE DONT FORGET THE LOST BOYS EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!! TWILIGHT IS SISSY VAMPIRES.

[matrixdave]

LOST BOYS WAS AWESOME GREW UP WATCHING THAT. SECOND ONE WAS NOT AS GOOD. 8)

[PSL4u]

Interview with a Vampire was pretty good.

But Vampire Hunter D is by far the best ever made.

[rockabilly]

A live action Vampire Hunter D would rule.

[pantybulge69]

A live action Vampire Hunter D would rule.

that's what i'm hoping for too with a Vampire Hunter D movie.
i think it would be much more splash and appealing than the movie BLood: the Last Vampire (which seem to look more like demons than vampires)

[rockabilly]

Get Guillermo del Toro to direct and have Ron Pearlman as the Count. But who would make a good D?

[SexChangeTranny.com]

*Fright Night
*The Lost Boys
* Interview with a vampire

[pantybulge69]

LOST BOYS WAS AWESOME GREW UP WATCHING THAT. SECOND ONE WAS NOT AS GOOD. 8)

Lost Boy 2: The Tribe .............just totally sucked !
Thought it would be good after 1s 6 minutes, but it was disappointing
and downhill since. Ending was uselessly stupid.

[rockabilly]

It's getting a sequel. :(
I wanted the prequel Lost Girls to be made.

[Nicole Dupre]

Actually, I really liked John Carpenter's Vampires. James Woods was excellent in it. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi989070105/

[pantybulge69]

Let the Right One In

Now why would this vampire movie be popular on HA?


Ironically there's also very popular XXX-rated hardcore Vampire Porn in existence, such as:

Dark Angels ( AVN award winner)
Dark Angels 2: Bloodlines
Succubus of the Rouge
From Lust til Dawn
Interview with a Vamp (starring alex jordan)
Vampiress
Lust of Blackula
My Girlfriend is a Vampire

[rockabilly]

Muffy the Vampire Slayer ... yes it exists.

[matrixdave]

Muffy the Vampire Slayer ... yes it exists. THAT SOUNDS GOOD HEHE.

[Deimos]

Get Guillermo del Toro to direct and have Ron Pearlman as the Count. But who would make a good D?

Who ever it is the would have to literally look like an anmie character much like Gianna in "Blood: the Last Vampire"

which i may as well add to the list both anime and live action.

VHD is just pure bad ass.. when it comes to vampires.. no live action movie can hold a candle to it (pardon the candle pun) lol (inside joke if you seen it)

VHD Bloodlust was just as good IMO.

Hellsing would be great to have adapted to a full length anime or live action even.

But as far as the guy playing D... he would have to be very feminine in appearance. But be able to have a deep voice and throw a good ass whippin.

[southern81]

not really a movie but i always loved the
Kindred TV series it had great chars. story and a new twist in the vampire mistos.

[rockabilly]

Kindred would have continued but the actor who played Julian died in a motorcycle accident.

[southern81]

so thats what happened that sucks it was one of my have shows wish they would put it out on dvd

[rockabilly]

I know. They could have had the character killed off and brought in a new prince to end the ensuing blood feud, but thought it would have been disrespectful.

[southern81]

ya i could see that.

[pantybulge69]

i was disappointed in BLoodlust because D" and the opposing Dhampir
( official name for half vampire/half human) never got into a physical
scuffle. it seemed more geared towards art and dialogue. They did have
new, interesting creatures in Bloodlust.

A Hellsing live action might be confused with Huge Jackman's Van Helsing ( which i really liked a lot BTW !!)
For some reason i'm thinking the director of the Vampire Hunter D
movie would change D"s normally quiet demeanor, and get him in
more of a speaking, communicational role.
i just hope he doesn't mess up and exclude D"s talking Left-hand.
Left-hand will only add more appeal, dark humor to D"'s character.

not yet. i was just talking hypothetical.
i figure if its to be done right, Hunter D" is going to take a big budget.
Why else would they jump Blood: the last Vampire ,..ahead of Vampire
hunter D' ?
Studio producers are always on the hunt for the public vibe,(blogs, forum boards) to see what the superhero fan base is wanting on the big screen.

Bigger the fanbase, bigger the interest, the bigger the box office.
All the comic superheroes, TV heroes are going to be brought to live action. The box office trend and viewing audience is demanding it.
G.I. Joe will soon follow Transformers, while Thor, Captain America,
Deadpool and Green Lantern are in the making. while Voltron, Magneto,
the Flash, Thundercats are in the " project" modes.
And that's not including upcoming Iron Man 2, and Spiderman 4 & 5.

Not only Vampire Hunter D, but the legendary anime NINJA SCROLL
could be soon be in awaiting projects.

[mhlovestgirls]

I don't really post here much, but I must throw in my two cents. As far as my all time favorite, I think it would be Interview with a Vampire, but the vampire movie I remember the most that hasn't yet been mentioned is Embrace the Vampire. It's a pretty lame plot, but the upside is there is a lot of nude scenes with Alyssa Milano in it. How could you not love that.

[ttmanofsteel1]

The Lost Boys all the way BABYYYY!

Blacula and Scream, Blacula, Scream (and Abby) were da bomb
back in the good ' old school 70's.
i remember William Marshall also being the voice of the leader
of the " Gargoyles ".

[gotchagood]

Bram Stokers, 1990's version with Keanu Reeves. "Children of the niiiight. What sweet music they make".

[rockabilly]

Forever Knight was a good Vampire tv show ... and it started as a tv movie.

[HP1000]

Bram Stokers, 1990's version with Keanu Reeves. "Children of the niiiight. What sweet music they make".

That movie rocked! Bram Stokers Dracula... One of the best!

[freak]

Kindred would have continued but the actor who played Julian died in a motorcycle accident.

Not true, it was canceled before the last episode aired and he died a few months later.

[luxxxuzz2001]

there are some vampire movies i like

ironic that i saw this thread as the first link in my signature below is a fuckin lethal track by ricardo villalobos and the video is from the 1922 film nosferatu, the classic vampire film.

the vampire movie " Children of the Night" i was refering to DID indeed have Karen Black starring in it, and this is indeed the same Karen Black who did the Demon Doll episode in Trilogy of Terror.

i wasn't making reference to Reeves/Hopkins/Rider's Bram Stoker Dracula .....just Children of the Night.

[rockabilly]

The Hamiltons , You think it's one kind of movie but it has a surprise twist at the end ... but since i posted about it here then you know the twist ... they are vampires.

[pantybulge69]

Meet the Hammiltons , You think it's one kind of movie but it has a surprise twist at the end ... but since i posted about it here then you know the twist ... they are vampires.

is it unusual and unique like " THE ADDICTION " with Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra ?
Black and white, poetic and analystic, and no fangs.
No highwire -flying or any vamp bursting into flames, but
it's interesting in it's own way.


Another Vampire that was unique was " TO DIE FOR "
( and no it's not the Nicole Kidman version) Two vampire blood brothers
fighting over the same girl and going one-on-one.
Has one good " jump-scare" scene in it.

[rockabilly]

Yeah kinda like that , it was one of the original After Dark film fest 8 films to die for. It's worth a rental. And sorry the name is " The Hamiltons" :shrug:

it's more of a B-movie look. Dark humored, cheesy but fun in a way.
most of the movie is very shadowy dark. Kinda like "Near Dark. "

i'll have to take a 2nd look at the Hamiltons. i think i rented it before
and it started out too slow and i got impatient with it and gave up.
and it's not one that i see shown on any of my cable TV channels. '

[eclipsemint]

Not exactly a movie, but a TV series about vampires.

Just finished watching the pilot episode to The Vampire Diaries.

Bit undecided about it. The plot is about a teen girl who is romantically torn between two very different brothers, who just happen to be vampires. One still feeds while the other is determined to stop his brother from eating all the teens in the town they just moved to.

Not as good as True Blood. More romantic and seems to be targeted at teens. Cashing in on the success of Twilight.

One thing in its favour is the lead female, Nina Dobrev. She used to be in Degrassi: The Next Generation. She is now 20; she was born in Bulgaria, and kind of reminds me of Jordana Brewster, who was in The Faculty, another horror movie in my DVD collection.

Funny how they can't get teen actors to play teens. That is one of the things going for Skins, a British series about teens, and that actually stars teen actors.

PS: The girls here will like the two lead male actors, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. Pics below.

[rockabilly]

Skins is a good show.
I recently watched a show called "Being Human" it has a vampire , werewolf and a ghost living together.... ok there's more to it than that. It was interesting , like thinking you know where you belong in the world and one day learn you are different , then you have to find out what your place in the world is now and find acceptance.

[Coroner]

Not a fan of vampire-themed movies or books here but "Interview with the Vampire" is pretty good due to the great plot, acting, atmosphere and Neil Jordan´s directing. Although I can´t stand Tom Cruise, I have to admit that his acting here was incredible. It´s a Tom Cruise we´ve never seen before and unfortunately after. But he seems to be a person that scares the shit out of you anyways.

[Avagadro]

Grunching: Let The Right One In. Brilliant movie. They're making a hollywood remake I believe, which is a shame because it almost certainly won't be as good.

[rockabilly]

True ... Stuart Townsend replaced him as Lestat in the sequel "Queen of the Damned" but i can't imagine Tom Cruise as a rock star vampire anyway. But they strayed alot from the source material w/ that movie.

Let the Right One in is one of the most unique,extraordinary vamp flicks
i've ever seen.

Since Hollywood seems quite fond of remakes, maybe they will make
a remake of the Nosferatu classic as well.

The remake is already in pre-production. Renamed "Let me in" and a remake of Nosferatu ... give them time. :(

[TheGuard]

Having just seen this the prior weekend at the local arthouse, I can say it's likely as good as the Vampire genre gets.

Werner Herzog beat Hollywood to the punch when he remade Nosferatu some thirty plus years ago. His version was every bit as good as the original and the soundtrack done by Popol Vuul is fucking brilliant.

Speaking of the original I watched it again today because of this thread, and I think a big reason why it was so good was how authentic it came off as- the sets, scenery, costumes and so on were all so perfect.

Vampires are clearly a very hot ticket right now. (Twilight, True Blood, etc.) they have always really of a great interest ( Underworld, Blade,30 days of Night) but fans seem to be more demanding the vampire genre more than ever. whatever the fan demand is going to be, the sales, advertisement and production is going to be. If the box office gross and the TV ratings are gonna keep going so strong, these producers are going to keep giving the fans more and more of what they like/want to see.

it's the same with these family animations (Pixar, Disney) and the superhero comic book movies ( spiderman,xmen,hulk,iron man,batman,etc.)

[rockabilly]

It's been mentioned already but " The Hunger " is great.

Vampire plots can do well, I'm not sure I'd jump to them always having great interest. Blade 2 & 3 were not huge successes... the TV series was bad enough I wanted to go find rusty objects to use in detaching my retinas while blasting recordings of screaming, dying rabbits to keep myself from hearing the horrible lines. Figures that it was aired on spike, didn't they take over UPN? You know, that network that needed to be taken out back & shot for the Crow miniseries?

Then there was that painful experience known as Bloodrayne. Quite possibly the worst movie made in the last 15 years. Only they didn't stop there... no, after making one of the worst cinematic experiences in history they looked around and saw how poorly their similar low-budget, poorly-written scripts were doing (like ultraviolet, that movie no one bothered to see), contemplated halting the production of all their pending female-fronted superhero/comic scripts... and then released a sequel to bloodrayne.

One with an even worse cast.

At least the first one had some decent performers in the cast (what, Rodriguez from lost/resident evil, that other girl from resident evil/5th element whose name I can't remember, even meat loaf had a major support role). But why make the sequel at all? Were they just being sadistic? Did someone lose a bet? Was it "well, we just made history with our epic disaster, lets see if we can beat the record again!"? They couldn't have honestly expected anyone to watch it after the first one.

[rockabilly]

Hmm Mila Jovovich wasn't in Bloodrayne. Kristana Loken played Rayne. But wait ... Bloodrayne 3 coming soon.

[SarahG]

But wait ... Bloodrayne 3 coming soon.

The fuc... they're making a 3rd one? Really?

I am starting to wonder if the industry is intentionally trying to sabotage its sales so that they can turn around and blame it on internet P2P users.

The whole "look, our sales are disappearing because of the evil internet! We need filters, bandwidth caps, pay-per-play systems!"

You know why their sales suck? Because so many of their products suck.

Edit, I looked it up and you were right about the cast of the first one. I was wrong insofar as Mila was not in it. That was a brainfart on my part.

[rockabilly]

Uwe Boll's epic Bloodrayne trilogy will be completed. " In a post apocalyptic New York , Rayne must fight her way through a city plagued by Vampires and fulfill her destiny. " It will be Uwe's best movie yet ...and still suck donkey balls.

[Dirky]

Has Uwe Boll ever made a good movie? Or even a mediocre one?

[rockabilly]

What defines good? :shrug: He takes whatever his last film made and puts it in the next films budget. At least he's passionate about filmmaking , maybe in 50 years he will be the next Ed Wood.

i love Underworld's involvement of vampire vs werewolves, and the
twist in that the Lycans(werewolves) were really the patriots trying to
escape and fight slavery. Only flaw is that i do wish they would use more
vampire powers vs Lycans and use typical vampiric neck-biting.

Nosferatu, the original Murnau from 1922. One of the high points of German expressionism, and still very unsettling.

The actor who played the vampire, Max Schreck (=terror in German) has an entire mythology built up around him - he came from nowhere, and disappeared after the filming - which led to the amusing spoof Shadow of the Vampire about making the original, with Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich.

Robert, have you seen the Kinski/Herzog sequel? Herzog did a nice job with atmosphere and Kinski's creepiness was off the charts.

As far as the Silent Films, check out The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari if you like Nosferatu.

Yes, I've got it in a Herzog/Kinski box set which also includes Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, Wrath of God. There should be a health warning not to watch them in succession - Kinski is clearly clinically deranged!

Caligari, The Golem, Metropolis, M, all wonderful German films no less dramatic or effective for being silent. There's a direct connection between them and the great Film Noir strain that developed in Hollywood in the 1940s with their use of shadows and light.

I have the Kinski/Herzog set too. Love the My Best Fiend doc too. Aguirre, The Wrath Of God is another favorite. Ever see Kinski in Crawlspace? He played an ex NAZI who dressed up as a lady who was also a landlord that liked to spy on his tenants. Kinski was also the ultimate baddy in The Great Silence, one of my favorite Spaghetti Westerns. I have a Kinski thread (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=26167&highlight=Kinski) somewhere.

Also,there's so much fascinating cinema history wrapped up in the people associated with those two films!
For example ,Klaus Kinski's daughter ,actress Natasha Kinski was molested while underage by director Roman Polanski ,who was married to Sharon Tate ,who was pregnant with his baby when she was murdered by the Charlie Manson family...

How did they fill the teeming rat sequence in the ‘78 Nosferatu?

Two versions:

“[We used] 11,000 rats. They were snow white, so we had to dye them grey. Just a huge, huge venture. We had to transport them all across Europe from different countries: Germany, Austria, then into Holland… When the Dutch customs guys opened them, one of them fainted instantly. It took us 45 minutes until we brought him back!” (DVD commentary)
https://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/features/herzogs-ark


Dutch behavioural biologist Maarten 't Hart, hired by Herzog for his expertise of laboratory rats, revealed that, after witnessing the inhumane way in which the rats were treated, he no longer wished to cooperate. Apart from travelling conditions that were so poor that the rats, imported from Hungary, had started to eat each other upon arrival in the Netherlands, Herzog insisted the plain white rats be dyed gray. In order to do so, according to 't Hart, the cages containing the rats needed to be submerged in boiling water for several seconds, causing another half of them to die. The surviving rats proceeded to lick themselves clean of the dye immediately, as Hart had predicted they would. Hart also implies sheep and horses that appear in the movie were treated very poorly, but does not specify this any further.

In 2010, 't Hart talked in the TV program Zomergasten about his involvement as expert for rats in Nosferatu. According to 't Hart, Herzog ordered 12,000 white rats from Hungary to the Netherlands, where they were to be used for a pest scene. The transport lasted three days, during which the rats were not fed nor soaked; therefore, they began to devour each other. After their arrival, Herzog decided to color them black. For this process, the animals were put into boiling water, whereby half of them died. 't Hart then withdrew from the project. In the TV program, he called the process "immoral".

[Stavros]

I don't understand the concept, and have never seen a vampire film that either made sense or was in any way entertaining, and that includes Herzog's attempt, even though the photography is outstanding. This frees my time to spend with proper films that reward repeated viewing.
