You've got to check out Hammer's vampire flicks too: the Dracula series with Christopher Lee, Vampire Circus, Twins of Evil, Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter, The Vampire Lovers, etc.

Yes, I remember Vamp and I remember that I didn't like it. I was a child at the time I watched it though so I should watch again.

My favourite vampire film is probably Dracula Has Risen from the Grave. But the vampire movie that fascinates me the most and keeps drawing me back is Werner Herzog's Nosferatu - The Vampyre. It just seems so....authentic. There's a real sense of death and decay and Kinski is fantastic as the almost vermin-like vampire. The film boasts an incredibly claustrophobic and yet expansive score by Popol Vuh that suits the film perfectly - and when Tsintskaro is played over the rat plague it creates a haunting beauity belying the madness and violence onscreen (a trick Ortolani also used for Cannibal Holocaust). So, if you've not seen Herzog's Nosferatu, I urge you to do so. It's melancholic, haunting, beautiful - and yet decadent and frightening. IMO it's a minor masterpiece.

My favourites will always be the Hammer films. No one beats Christopher Lee as Dracula in my opinion. The Karnstein trilogy are also essential viewing as well. |

I've yet to see a vampire film with a better ending than Lips of Blood. And speaking of endings, is it just me or does the vampire film genre seem to suffer more than any other horror related genre from unsatisfactory endings? You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones where the seemingly omnipotent undead count always ends up being undone by a pudding-faced priest or a semi-literate yokel. I mean the count has survived for some 500+ years, evading war and famine, only to have a stake driven through his heart by some fin de siecle equivalent of a grocery store bag boy. Totally unsatisfactory, if you ask me. Last edited by Robert W; 5th November 2012 at 10:45 PM. |
