vampire films list
I am a huge fan of vampire movies[phpbay] One of the amazing things about this genre is how varied the actual movies are[phpbay] They're not all carbon copies of the same thing, which means there are a lot of original works among the classics[phpbay] So with so many different types of movies, what determines a "good" vampire movie?
Part of that answer depends on what you enjoy most out of vampire movies[phpbay] Is it gore? Terror? The sensual flair? The movie plot itself?
What makes this further interesting as a question is that even the vampire legends are different[phpbay] Does sunlight really affect a vampire? What about silver? If you answered that the best vampire movies are action flicks, do you prefer "Blade," "John Carpenter's Vampires," or "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires" (think vampire kung fu with zombies - great stuff)?
There's nothing sensual about the vampires in "30 Days of Night," which shows vampires in a pack mentality, but there are some very attractive vampires in "Blade" and in "Bram Stoker's Dracula[phpbay]"
While the variety of various vampire movies is so great that it's impossible to keep the list down to only one or two things that make a great vampire flick, there are a few basic things to look for:
1) Cool Vampires[phpbay] This is mandatory[phpbay] If the vampires are lame, the movie will be lame[phpbay] There's a lot of leeway here: it can be from the hot and alluring lady vampire, to the kung fu vampire, to the traditional played by a very strong lead (like Christopher Lee)[phpbay]
2) Strong hero[phpbay] To fight off really evil vampires, you need a freaking cool hero[phpbay]
3) Victims[phpbay] What's a good vampire movie without any victims? The vampire may be a suave monster, but they still need to be a monster[phpbay]
These three things are mandatory in every successful vampire film, whether modern or old[phpbay]
