- DirectorWerner HerzogStarsKlaus KinskiIsabelle AdjaniBruno GanzCount Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror.Atmospheric & slow work of art.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsCatherine DeneuveDavid BowieSusan SarandonA love triangle develops between a beautiful yet dangerous vampire (Catherine Deneuve), her cellist companion (David Bowie), and a gerontologist (Susan Sarandon).Another absolute work of art! (David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve & Susan Sarandon - Can't go wrong!!!)

Rewatch Review: Survives age surprisingly well. Amazing. - DirectorKathryn BigelowStarsAdrian PasdarJenny WrightLance HenriksenA small-town farmer's son reluctantly joins a traveling group of vampires after he is bitten by a beautiful drifter.Gritty, modern, realistic, "What-If" film. Excellent & Quotable.

- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsJack MacGowranRoman PolanskiAlfie BassA noted professor and his dim-witted apprentice fall prey to their inquiring vampires, while on the trail of the ominous damsel in distress.Classic!

- DirectorPhilip SavilleStarsLouis JourdanFrank FinlaySusan PenhaligonThe vampire count leaves his Transylvanian home to wreak havoc across the world.(Reputed to be the closest adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula".)

Sucks at all things he does. One day he meets a stranger who changes his life, but leaves him addicted to... blood. If Woody Allen made a Vampire Movie, this is what it would be like.
- DirectorNeil JordanStarsBrad PittTom CruiseAntonio BanderasA vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.If you forgive that its Tom Cruise (ugh) and Brad Pit (was it?) this Anne Rice book springs to the screen nicely. (It is especially -dear to me-, because its a concept I already thought of.)
- DirectorMichael RymerStarsAaliyahStuart TownsendMarguerite MoreauIn this loose sequel to Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), the vampire Lestat becomes a rock star whose music wakes up the equally beautiful and monstrous queen of all vampires.Could have been better... Some great settings, and incredible potential, but alas, it all falls short somehow. Sad. Could have been EXCELLENT... Possibly the director? Possibly the editor. The plot was interesting. "Only Lovers Left Alive" is similar, but better.
