Poll: Best Vampire Movie?

[AcacianLeaves]

Queen of the Damned, all others trump in comparison

Please tell me you don't mean that awful Stuart Townsend raping of the excellent Anne Rice book. That movie is easily worse than Twilight.

 

[Reaper69lol]

Imo:
From Dusk Til Dawn
30 days of Night
Daybreakers
Interview with a Vampire
John Carpenter's Vampires

Wheres Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula or Salem's Lot.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

The fact that you included Twilight and not Van Helsing, Underworld, Daybreakers, or Blade makes me want to hunt you down and hurt you

 

[AcacianLeaves]

I'm not voting because Nosferatu, Salem's Lot, and Fright Night weren't added.

Hell even Once Bitten, The Lost Boys, or Blade could've been on there over most of them. The Dracula titles are good tho'.

Find me the poll option where I can include 70 options, and I'll find you a poll that could include all the Vampire movies I think are good.

Fright Night, Once Bitten, and Salem's Lot are okay but they have not aged well at all. Also Salem's Lot is technically a TV miniseries, so that's a tough call. Lost Boys suffers from the same problem of age but gets points for me due to nostalgia. I can still admit that it's not really a 'good' movie though.

Nosferatu, though, yes. Didn't include it due to obscurity.

Judging from responses so far though it seems like everyone has only seen movies in the last decade. Daybreakers, Blade, Underworld, 30 Days of Night, Let the Right One In, etc. Is everyone on the Escapist a teenager or do we just have very poor memories?

 

[YoUnG205]

Let the Right One In.

I can say no more. Just go watch it.

I agree this is a great film and they are making an english version called "let me in"

Bram Stokers Dracula anyone??

I didn't include Van Helsing because Van Helsing is fucking terrible (in a hilarious, career killing, B-Movie kind of way).

Again, only 8 options. Having two options for the lulz was necessary.

 

[Kaymish]

i like the underworld series myself and lesbian vampire killers was pretty funny

 

[AcacianLeaves]

Blade, then Underworld

worst:...
...

...
Blood: The Last Vampire (Live Action)

Combines all the aspects of the recent The Last Airbender with my favorite anime series:
IT RUINED IT. The producer had never even seen the damn anime. Worst movie of my life.

Wow I'm really glad I passed that one up. I love the anime and the movie looked kind of B to me, but I was going to see it. Now I probably won't. Comparing something to The Last Airbender is pretty damning.

Let the Right One In.

Yes, I heard of this and saw the trailer.

Looks like shit compared to the original though.

I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, but goddamn, does Hollywood have to take every foreign movie and Americanize it?

 

[AcacianLeaves]

Bram Stokers Dracula anyone??

I try to like that movie. I really do. But then Keanu Reeves speaks and it all goes to hell.

 

[wolf92]

Why did you include Twilight

Because I hate how people make idiotic remarks like "Twilight vampires aren't REAL vampires!" They're just as much vampires as any other fictional bloodsuckers. The only thing I actually like about the Twilight Saga is that it used the vampire mythos in a new and creative way to introduce it to a new audience. I'd prefer MORE experimentation in established genres, not less.

Twilight is bad because its poorly written, poorly acted, and manipulative. It is not bad because it doesn't have 'real vampires'.

Right. It's a very poorly written series, and you requested opinions on GOOD vampire movies.

 

[Cody211282]

Lost Boys and Daybreakers were both really good, why aren't they in the pull but Twilight is?

 

[Enigma6667]

Blade, Blade II, and Let the Right One In.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

I am surprised at the lack of Let The Right One In.

I'm not much of a fan of vampire movies, but i still really enjoyed Daybreakers.

30 Days of Night was okay too, but they tried too hard and parts just flopped on its back (Eg. The baby scene)
