Anyone know any really good movies about vampires?

Answer 1

Fright Night~There is a sequel, but the first is best.
Lost Boys
Vampire Circus
The Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon Me But Your Teeth Are in My Neck aka Dance of the Vampires~This is a comic approach by Roman Polanski, who directed and co-stars. Sharon Tate is the damsel in distress.
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
Dance of the Damned ~talky, but an interesting approach
The Hunger
Blacula~It's better than it sounds!
Scream, Blacula, Scream~I haven't seen the sequel
The Thirst~an Australian film starring Chantal Contouri
Count Yorga, Vampire
The Return of Count Yorga
The Brides of Dracula
House of Dark Shadows~Yes, it's based on the original TV series.
The Night Stalker~TV movie that is the basis for "Kolchak: The Night Stalker"
To Die For
To Die For 2: Son of Darkness
Subspecies series:

Christopher Lee's Dracula films:
Dracula
Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
Horror of Dracula

Answer 2

Interview with a Vampire
Blade
Fright Night
Lost Boys
Bram Stokers Dracula
Nosferatu
Underworld

I would not recommend Queen of the Damned as others have suggested. It's horrid and if you have read all of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice it is nothing like the book. They completely chopped it up. Unlike Interview they were very true to the book.

Answer 3

Pretty Vampires= Underworld

Icky Vampires= B.S. Dracula

Answer 4

I think my favorite would have to be "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) with Winona Rider, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, and Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman displays great range, and the cinematography is hypnotic. But I would expect nothing less from director Francis Ford Coppola.

Wes Craven's "Dracula 2000" is worth watching. The movie itself is B-rated at best, but it offers a new and very interesting explanation on the origins of Dracula.

"Interview with a Vampire" did not impress me. I was very distracted by the actors' "acting," with the exception of little Kirsten Dunst, who I think gave a very convincing performance.

Answer 5

...have you, per chance, heard of the chilling and slightly sadistic vampire film, from 1974, entitled "Grave of the Vampire"??? A years-old vampirized serial killer is inadvertantly awakened by a couple of teenagers, making love in a cemetery; the vampire kills the boy, and viciously rapes the girl. The girl becomes pregnant, and in a disturbed state, decides to keep the baby; however, the baby will not take a mother's milk. The mother soon realizes what the baby WILL injest, and proceeds to raise the child on blood (...the initial discovery, and subsequent feeding is outrageously twisted and disturbing). The child grows into a young and handsome man, and in mourning his mother's death, due to sacrificing her own blood, he vows to unveal the identity of his undead father...and destroy him...

...the ending of this film is quite shuddering and memorable...

...I would also most highly recommend the rare Spanish horror import, and the humble directorial beginnings of now-famed director Guillermo del Toro ("Blade II", "Hellboy"), namely "Chronos"; in this ghoulish little oddity, an invaluable, ancient golden scarab-shaped art piece, houses a parasite that incurs a symbiotic relationship with an old museum curator....a little blood, in exchange for supernaturally-instilled immortality. However, a side effect to the unholy relationship, is an additionally instilled insatiable bloodlust...

...my personal favorite is a romanically gothic and horrifying little classic ditty from 1964, entitled "Castle of Blood"; a late nineteenth century writer, on a bet by celebrated writer Edgar Allan Poe, no less, vows to survive one night at an aged and abandoned haunted castle, from which no one has ever returned. Upon arrival at the castle, the writer encounters the undead ghosts (...one of which he falls in love with) who on All Saint's Night, are cursed to relive their own gruesome deaths. To his horror, the writer comes to realize that the ghosts need his blood, in order to return once again, the following year...

...anyways, check 'em all out, below!!!
