Best Vampire Movie


Compared to Underworld, Coppola's Dracula, Interview With A Vampire, Buffy, Buffy the movie, Blade movies, Van Helsing, Vampire Hunter D, Queen of the Damned, Dusk till dawn, and Embrace of the vampire, this film, I know, is the most accurate vampire film.

So much of the tragedy of vampirism is seen here. Compared to the psuedo-history seen in other films like Coppola's Dracula and Underworld and the over-glorification of Blade and the Underworld movies Shadow I think reflects the truer Woddy Allen nature of vampirism--being more interpersonal than shoot-em-up. Now obviously Coppola came close with his nod to the underground protection vampirism has had through certain organizations (think Hopkins) and Underworld at least on the surface makes the blood Corvinus connection.

Now if we could have a movie about the true bloodlines, rituals, lazarus, and the orthodox church, that would be a very interesting film indeed, historically speaking of course.

I wouldn’t call it the best, but Willem Dafoe's performance is outstanding and the most memorable thing I remember, definitely a film worth revisiting.
