Whats the general opinion?

For me its a top up between FRIGHT NIGHT and the LOST BOYS. I think its gotta be FRIGHT NIGHT for me though.

The Lost Boys made me wish I was a Vamp. It hit the whole vamp thing with a stylish twist. It was still dark in places though. A real cult movie. I love it.
 
Near Dark was a good film that veered away from the whole suave-vamp-swanning-around-in-evening dress myth.

Vamp was enjoyable and Martin is an interesting take on the subject.

Hammer films are what I grew up on though. The old plastic bat on a fishing pole used to be effective.
 
I liked from dusk til dawn because of selma hayek. But for me its probably got to be John Carpenters Vampires. Very good movie
 
The lost boys is a classic, best one of the lot, it has that gay camp 80's soundtrack, bikes, that chick that was in it; she was hot, i had many a wank over her.

JC's Vampires is a frigging western with vampires. He rips off like no-one else these days. I hate any movie that has the directors name in the title too.

It has vampires in it, thats enough for me. I thought it was a good film, although it was about 6 years ago or summit that I watched it.
 
whats the one with the vampire hunter and then he goes and tries to find the main big vampire? theres a church involved to? sorry for the sketchy descriptions
 
everyone is allowed they're own opinions, but i havent watched any vampire films to compare it to
 
Hmm you cnuts forgot Interview with the Vampire and the Blade movies;)

Near Dark, that was the one I was trying to think of. A less childish version of Lost Boys.

Martin was very sick from what I saw of it but I didn't make it that far past the opening rape scene where he slices the birds veins open and drinks away while still ploughing her. I did watch it when I was around 12-13 in the house alone though, it might not freak me out quite as much these days.
 
Interview is the definitive vampire film for me, probably from reading the Anne Rice books. The best one of these books is one called Memnoch, a great read, the vampire Lestat goes on a tour of Heavan and Hell led by Lucifer himself, really does make you wonder who out of the two was the real bad guy (god or the Devil). I highly recommend it, can be read without reading the previous books too.

The only Blade movie I liked was Blade Trinity, it's quite a cool movie. My main interest in it intially was because of Triple H (I'm a huge WWE fan) but it's actually quite a good film and also Drake wasn't that bad to look at :drool:

The original, the first Christopher Lee Hammer one, and Nosferatu.

Are you talking the Christopher Lee as Dracula one? If yes, agreed. It's a brilliant movie!

Interview with a Vampire is another favourite of mine. Lots of proper depth and character development.

As for TV shows... Buffy is absolute SHITE. Anybody remember Forever Knight tho? I was obsessed with that show when I was growing up and totally wanted a cool apartment with steel doors and a fridge with wine bottles of blood :)

nosferato

Agreed.

The vampire in "Nosferato" is still the definative one and rarely bettered.

Also Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula". It extended the genre in a way that other Dracula films hadn't. It went beyond the usual out-stretched arms and Svengali like stares.

"Fright Night", and "The Lost Boys" was good too.
