Vampire movies: from best to worst

I doubt that any day someone will be able to make a vampire movie better than this one. Much more than a vampire film, it is about bullying, friendship, love... The environment is cold as must be. The vampire is undoubtly a vampire, but not an obvious one, athough we can see all the traits.

Review: What a brilliant short animated film from Brazil! In an expressionist São Paulo, we may explore the intimate life of a Nosferatu, which uses not to be shown in books or movies about vampires. The monster will have problems when he meets another blood-sucker! Everything is extremely nice in these six minutes that worth more than most of feature length films. Story is extremely clever and make spectator laugh all the time. Animation is very well done, heavily inspired in German Expressionism, as a spoof/tribute comedy. Crazy credits and intertitles are also hilarious - at least for Brazilians, as they make several references to popular culture and foreigners may not understand many of those jokes. The drawing style and action merge old silent movies and modern surrealist cartoon in a very amusing way.

What a wonderful atmosphere for a vampire movie! A film for those who like vampire tales, not for those only interested in fast thrillers following an obvious formula. That perhaps explains the absolutely unfair bad users' rating in IMDB for this deep psychological British vampire film.

Very innovative vampire film which tells a story about the shooting of "Nosferatu". Willen Dafoe is astonishing playig Max Schreck!

Very funny and clever animation film from Cuba.

Probably, the best "vampire action film" I have watched. Good acting, good plot, good characters.

Another funny and smart animation movie (off course being Cuban or from the United States makes "Vampiros en la Habana" and "Hotel Transylvania" completely different films).

This horror short film has less than 2 minutes but was a viral with amazing success. It is supposedly about a zombie but that may be about a vampire. Watch it hee: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/zombie-only-appears-selfies-viral-6462231

Very funny and well done parody! Instead of Prof. Van Helsing and Count Dracula, we have Prof. Abronsius (together with his henchman, Polanski's Alfred) and Count von Krolock.

What a funny Canadian dark comedy! Clever and innovative, well filmed and visually stunning. The stop motion trips by car or plane and the craziness of Jen's vampirization or blood abstinence footage are very cool and sophisticated cinematographic solutions. Beautiful Jessica Paré's character Jennifer is one of the most charming vampiresses I have ever seen, perhaps the most. Characters portrayed by music stars, such as Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and punk rock Black Flag's Henry Rollins are very entertaining and captivating. Off course the same may be said about hard rock guitarist Dimitri Coats's master vampire Queeny, who is really creepy. None of the guys from the rock band does a bad job, but after Jessica Paré's Jennifer I would highlight as the second best Chris Ratz's Hugo, a very funny version of Bram Stoker's character Renfield. Seeing Clockwork Orange's Malcolm McDowell as an eyepatch wearing Van Helsing was also great. Soundtrack, as it was supposed to be, is nice. Rob Stefaniuk, who is the film director, the screenplay writer and one of the leading role actors (the leader of the looser band "The Winners"), deserves public appreciation. This is one of the best vampire films I have watched, probably one of my top 10.

Great atmosphere in this old film. Quite nice fairy filmmaking. Few words (it is a quasi-silent movie), many shadows. Deffinitely, this is not an ordinary film. In my opinion, it is much better than Nosferatu or Dracula.

A vampire thriller beautifully filmed, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon in a love triangle of life and death.

While most of the vampires in the film try to control their nature, it is shown as marked by lust, brutality, power, and some weaknesses, just as they it is supposed to be. It is a very nice vampire movie! The scenes of hunt and of biting are great. There is possibly also the best vampirization scene I've ever seen! Very sensual! Characters are well developed and particularly the three main vampiresses are great. The story starts amazingly, perhaps becomes less interesting after the first turning point, but afterwards goes back to its greatest moments. The strength of the vampires may be their weakness, and all of them may face it anytime.

A very different and psychological vampire movie. Is Martin really a vampire? He and his cousin believe that. And you?

A contemporary classic. Are vampires able to love?

As the movie below, this is an unpretensious and funny teenager movie. Starred by Jim Carrey, the film shows beautiful and mature Lauren Hutton doing a good job in the role of vampiress Countess. It is campy in the precise degree for great laughs.

Unpretentious and funny high school action movie. Very beautiful young Kristy Swanson does a good job playing charismatic and initially futile Buffy. The same can be said about Donald Sutherland in the role of her tutor, Merrick. The film gets campy sometimes, but it is not a flaw. Seeing Hillary Swank in her very first movie playing one of Buffy's best airhead friends is something to be highlighted. The same can be said about having Rutger Hauer as the comic master vampire.

A great update for the classic "Nosferatu" from 1922.

A little bit kitsch (well, it's a film by Joel Schumacher...) but still a good movie. The 1980's undisguised stamp is there. Nice end!

Beautifully filmed, nice historical revisionism and cultural references.

Great remake, perhaps slghly better than the original. Collin Farrell is an excellent Jerry Dandrige.
