Top Ten Vampire Films

10. Twilight.

This movie is really not that good. There are 30 vampire films that could push it out. Lost boys? But something inside me enjoyed it. It is kinda’ entertaining, redundant, and utterly pointless, but what the hell…

9. Dracula (1931)

This movie is just okay. It isn’t really scary and anyone who calls it the scariest vampire movie is a twat. I’ve scene it only a few times and have never really liked it. Vampires aren’t really scary.

8. Nosferatu (1922)

Well,scratch that. Vampires can be scary. If you have the stomach for a silent film, (Many don’t) stick with this one. It really is scary as hell. If you can’t, well, check out number 1.

7. Blade, Blade 2

The first is good. The second might be great. Guillero Del Torro’s a fucking filmmaking Jedi. His action films are really good. His drama/fantasy films are legendary. My brother and I watch these movies once and a while. They are a sad reminder of how great Wesley Snipes was. He had it all, the acting chops, the martial-art skills (I think he was Fifth Dan) and the physique.

6. Salem’s Lot

This is probably not the greatest adaptation of Stephen King book to ever happen. It is still pretty scary though

5. Interview with the Vampire

A bit boring at times, but it is funny how much I like this movie. It is one of the few movies that looks at vampires as characters, not just villains. Up until True Blood it was, dare I say, the most sensitive look and vampires ever put into popular culture.

4. Bram Stroker’s Dracula

This is a really cool movie. Francis Ford Coppola’s last really good film. It is sexy, violent, scary, and fun. It is said to be the closest adaptation of Bram Stroker’s novel. I shamefully have not read it, so can’t comment.

3. Underworld

This movie is a lot of fun. Like Resident Evil has nothing to do with zombies, Underworld has little to do with vampires. It is a fantasy action movie. It isn’t scary or really that memorable. But out of all the vamp movies ever made. I might be the most entertained by Underworld.

2. From Dusk Till Dawn

This movie would never get made without the fame of Tarintino and Rodriguez, who both had exploded on the indie scene with El Meriachi and Reservoir Dogs. Two films I deeply admire. FDTD is a seriously bizarre movie and is a favorite of my brother, as well as myself.

1. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

If you don’t know the name Werner Herzog. You don’t know enough about movies. The guy is one of the great living directors and I’m not saying that as a snobby film elitist. His take on the classic film Nosferatu (#8) Is truely terrifying. Made only years after Wrath of God and Fizcallardo, I wonder what made him switch gears and use Kinski in a horror film. Whatever, Herzog’s a genius. Kinski’s potrayal of dracula is quiet, tormented, and really creepy. See this movie.
