Great damn movie!!!
I have to give Bram Stoker's Dracula a rewatch.
The novel is one of my all time favorites and I went to watch the film in theaters back in '92. While the visuals were great I was too annoyed at the liberties taken with the book's plot. Gary Oldman's kimono look also was off-putting. I have never revisited it.
I'm going to see if I can judge it without bringing the novel in as baggage. I still say that a faithful adaptation of the book without any of the reincarnated love / Dracula as tragic figure bullshit could be genuinely great.
A little off the beaten path, but I'll always have a soft spot for this one:
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.Let the Right One In was such a good vampire movie. I remember really liking an Iranian vampire film too but I can't remember the name of it.
Vamp was the first vampire film I ever saw, and I still love it to this day. Still haven't seen a vampire more terrifying than Grace Jones was in this.
Let the Right One In was such a good vampire movie. I remember really liking an Iranian vampire film too but I can't remember the name of it.
Very happy to see at least one mentioning this movie. I enjoyed it very much.
I've never actually seen Blade 2, despite being a Del Toro fanVampire is one of my least favorite horror trope, so I prefer something that doesn't take itself seriously.
Thus I nominate, Blade II.
I fucking love this movie, watch it every year around Halloween at least a few times.
Harker, definitely, and even Ryder slides into mediocrity at various points. But the cinematography, the effects, the performances of Oldman and Hopkins, and the score put the movie over the top. Especially the score, I love the shit out of it.Coppola's Dracula, Carpenter's Vampires, Nadja, or Thirst.
The Coppola one is so endlessly fascinating to me. It is really a love letter to classic film effects. I just wish it had a better Harker.
