Vampire

This film is not in English. It is still better to watch this version with the voice over than to watch the English remake. This film shows us that even the best vampires are still parasites. Let the Right One In reveals at its core without the fluff, what the human experience feels like. I rate this film as the best vampire film of the modern era, without a doubt.

All about the cast? Not exactly but it certainly doesn't hurt.

30 Days of Night saves the vampiric horror film. At a time when love stories and coming of age adventures have taken over the genre, this film reminds us that we may not want to see what is going bump in the night.

Great take on a vampire film. Thirst is not the only vampire movie to offer us a priest as a vampire, but it certainly does it best.

Even though it isn't my style of vampire at all, I have to respect the classic poly-morphing vampire.

There are going to be a few homage picks to the classic Nosferatu style of vampire films. This certainly is one of the tops. In my book it edges out a couple of the others mainly because of its cast, but also because this is a list of modern vampire films. The others go to far to stay classic.

I will admit, I always liked blondes until 2003. The blue eyed dark hair Selene played by Kate Beckensale changed my tune. While similar in style, this beats out Blade in action and plot. The cast is incredible going on to create an entire movie franchise that even had a movie survive with just the supporting cast. This is not the best vampire film of all time but it was revolutionary. This did for vampire/werewolves movies what 28 Days Later did for zombie films.

We are starting to see a trend of films like this. This one just barely finds a way to put itself a cut above the others of this particular style.

This also pushes the limits on the traditional vampire. I like it however.

They picked the right actress. It was going to be tough to live up to the original but it does well enough to find a spot on this list.

Much to like about this film. It does something so classic that even the Nosferatu buffs have got to respect. It makes living forever seem like such a drag. The cast is incredible, its literally a list of whose who in the supporting cast world. Mia Wasikowska needs her own vampire film asap!

Exceptional tale about the sacrifice it takes to love. This movie does so much right for most of the film, I can forgive the terrible ending. Watch it if you want action! Watch it if you want to identify with a character who has to make a choice between himself and those that he loves. The movie combines my two favorite genres which is why it made it so high on the list. Watch this one!

I am all for hybrid vampires. This makes the list purely for entertainment purposes.

Not many films have vampires as social creatures. I like it. The backstory for the movie franchise, this film does a great job setting up a believable vampire lycan relationship. I see much symbolism in this film.

A few things I like. A vampire with a real job! It does some things very well and others not so well. With genre movies you learn to love the good stuff and forget the bad. That is probably how this makes the cut.

This film is another foreign. I was suggested to watch it from a comment on this list. Happy I did, I knew it would be here. It isn't to easy to get a copy of this film but it is worth it. I honestly am debating moving it higher on the list. Right now I suggest you watch it not only because of the neat storyline, but also because it is one of the few black and white movies I can watch all the way through and still come out feeling like I live in 2016. I will be watching it again with fresh eyes and making adjustments as needed.

Interesting take. Top of the line distopian vampire film.

The funniest Vampire film ever made? I think it does some cool stuff but also does not fit in with the other films on this list. It is a completely different genre, which is one of the main reasons why I struggled for a year to add this to the list. I finally gave in because it is simply a great vampire film even though it is a comedy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
