My Favorite Vampire Movies
Vampires have fascinated and terrified audiences for centuries, and the Big screen has been no exception to their enduring allure. In this post, I'm writing about my top favorite vampire movies. Here are my top picks:
Underworld (2003):
Underworld brings a unique twist to the vampire lore by adding a fierce battle between vampires and lycans (werewolves) to the mix. Kate Beckinsale shines as the leather-clad vampire warrior Selene, making this franchise a thrilling and stylish experience.
Blade (1998):
Wesley Snipes dons the role of the half-vampire, half-human vampire hunter, Blade. This action-packed film introduced a new breed of vampire hunter to the genre and redefined the modern vampire flick with its martial arts and gritty urban setting.
The Lost Boys (1987):
This '80s cult classic captures the essence of teenage rebellion and vampire lore. The hip, punk-rock-infused tale of a group of young vampires led by the charismatic David (Kiefer Sutherland) makes for a fun, nostalgic ride.
Interview with the Vampire (1994):
Based on Anne Rice's beloved novel, Interview with the Vampire brings together Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as the brooding Louis and the seductive Lestat, respectively. Their performances and the lush period setting make this film a gothic masterpiece.
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996):
Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino, this film starts as a crime thriller and takes a sudden, wild turn into vampire territory. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino star as bank-robbing brothers who cross paths with bloodthirsty creatures of the night at a strip club in the middle of nowhere.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992):
Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel is a visually stunning and sensuous take on the vampire mythos. Gary Oldman's portrayal of Count Dracula is iconic, and the film's Gothic aesthetics are mesmerizing.
What We Do in the Shadows (2014):
This hilarious mockumentary brings a fresh comedic twist to the vampire genre. A group of bumbling vampire roommates navigate the modern world, leading to laugh-out-loud moments and clever satire.
Queen of the Damned (2002):
Based on Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, this film explores the character of Lestat once again, this time portrayed by Stuart Townsend. The soundtrack, featuring the music of the late Aaliyah, adds a haunting and seductive atmosphere to the film.
These movies offer a diverse range of vampire experiences, from action-packed battles and horror to romance and humor.
Do you guys have any Vampire movie to suggest ?
All great movies! You got to love them all. Only one you're missing is Van Helsing, not because it was a great movie but it had some beautiful women vampires!
Indeed i watched van Hellsing because of Kate it was the time around underworld.
las peliculas de vampiros son interesantes por su emotividad y como causa ese terror de chupar sangre jeje
vampire movies are interesting because of their emotionality and how they cause the terror of sucking blood hehe
Not favorites, because you already mentioned Bram Stoker's Dracula, but two non-obvious picks:
Hellsing anime was awesome don’t really know why it stopped . Haven’t read the many so I don’t know if it was concluded. Haven’t watched the other two .
Great list! I trust that you have already watched all seasons of the What We Do In The Shadows tv show. I actually like the show more than the movie, but both are great.
Yea the show is awesome!
No Interview with a Vampire?
I have included it but it seems i haven't included a trailer
Yes, that's what I was looking for.
That's a nice list.
I guess this one deserves a spot:
I can’t believe I forgot about this one from the 90s. I really like it back then, although it’s more of a guilty pleasure than a good movie. The bad guy was also the bad guy in The Karate Kid Part III. And James Woods was superb in his role as the vampire hunter.
James Woods was a real badass in this role, haha!
I have watched that one but i totally forgot it!
This one is kinda a classic.
I've seen three of the films you list, and one of them I really didn't like (the Clooney film). Upside, The Lost Boys and Interview with a Vampire are both darn good. There are always more vampire films to add, including the classic Bela Lugosi Dracula from 1931. There are also a few goofy/comedy vampire flicks that are good.
Yes there are a lot of this Genre to add!
I'm kind of an old guard type when it comes to horror movies, which is why I brought up Dracula (1931). Hammer films made a lot of vampire films during its heyday, and a lot of them are pretty darn good. Also, the classic soap opera Dark Shadows became a hit after it introduced the vampire Barnabas Collins to the series, which saved it from cancellation. It is a soap with a gothic feel, so it takes a bit of patience to get into as the action is rather slow.
Hi, nice to meet you through your taste for vampire movies, I don't know if it's a ranking, but that you started with Underworld makes me see that you like the good stuff, I feel that because of its story it stands out from other classics of the genre. I fell in love with Selene, so much so that I remember early last year I took a marathon of all the movies one weekend.
Regarding the others, I've never seen What We Do in the Shadows, but the trailer you shared caught my eye, I'm going to look for it for my weekend relax time. Good selection my friend 👍
It's mostly slow paced but a nice chill movie to watch with your lover: Only Lovers Left Alive
Don't know it will watch it . a really nice cast. Thanks
I've seen 4 out of the movies you listed here. I think I should up my game in vampire movies.
