Favourite film involving vampires?
 
I'm not really a big fan on vampires, (I'm more there with the werewolves. :D ) but I gotta say I do really love Interview with the Vampire! It's easily one of my favourite films.

I just do love a horror film (I would really say it is angst more than anything) that doesn't rely on blood and gore to give you just a little bit of a chill, think ''bloody disgusting''etc, and the black humour in it mixes in well with the chaotic madness of it all.

Just intrigued to what people would say their favourite vampire movie is, and hope that the most percent will not say Twilight. We can't call that sugary fluff nonsense a good scare of a movie. Haha.

i will have to say

vamp(my all time fave)
from dusk til dawn
interveiw with a vampire
stake land
fright night

headswillroll 09-08-2011 02:20 PM

Fright Night is definitely a great one, and Dusk Till Dawn is more of a horror comedy, but great nonetheless. The Lost boys has got to be in there, too. Packed with hot vampires, killer music, and a comedic, yet, great, storyline. Have you seen the Lost Boys at all?

And Interview with ''A'' vampire - The film is ''the'' vampire, is it not? I've read the book, too, but am sure it's the same as the film title as well. I could be wrong though. And Queen of the Damned (movie)...I found that to be a real big flop!

I haven't seen Stake Land or Vamp. Are they rather good then? I know I need to see Near Dark. That's been recommended to me many times, but I have yet to buy it.

I've seen the new one, and I thought it to be rather rubbish, which has made me not bother watching the original. It could be good though, so I should give it a whirl.

And on my list, I totally forgot to put (Stephen King) The Night Flier. That truly is a great film!

I thought Let Me In was great and i actually preferred one part of it vs. the original. But Let The Right One In is an amazing movie and you should check it out.

King Krysis 09-10-2011 07:47 AM

im not really into watching vampire films (well not so much as other horror sub-genres).

but this would be my list of which ones i did enjoy:
- The lost boys(1987)
- Let the right one in(2008)
- Nosferatu (1922) and Nosferatu (1979)
- Fright night(1985)
- Bram stoker's Dracula(1992)

so not many but that's a list of my personal favorites that i have in my collection.

I also liked one with Nic Cage called Kiss of the Vampire or Vampire's Kiss.

For those of you who are not Cage haters, check it out.

That's the one where it's all in his mind, isn't it? I haven't seen the film, but someone did tell me about it, and said it was fairly okay. It seems there are quite a few ''vampy'' films I need to watch, particularly those of the classics. :)

Well no need for me to watch it anymore :rolleyes:

headswillroll 09-10-2011 11:42 AM

Well, I'm not sure if it is, what I said, as I haven't seen the film. I could be wrong.

Why don't you go watch it! I've given nothing away. :D

You blurted out the ending, hows that not giving anything away?

I didn't BLURT out the ending! I merely asked the person above if I was right or wrong. I, peronally, haven't seen the film.

There's only one way to find out. Go watch it. Geez. :rolleyes:

Okay but if you are right, then you ruined the ending for me and even if you're wrong, i'm still hesitant to watch it now.

The Villain 09-10-2011 11:52 AM

It also has nothing to do with the movie itself, its the principle of the thing. Sorry if you think i'm being a sensitive jerk but i hate when people do that.

I'm sure you've done it before, as most people have. I mean take this forum for example, if someone were to mention on this thread about a certain vampire film they liked and their favourite scene (If that had of been what I was curious to hear) then wouldn't they being giving it away for the people who haven't seen that certain film? Nobody would have said anything then. :D That sort of thing always happens when people ''talk and have discussions'' about certain topics.

I apologise if I've got your back up!

Alright i'm done. There's no need to be condescending.

headswillroll 09-10-2011 12:13 PM

Condescending! Oh, please, I was merely putting a point across. You just need to lighten up!

What is this bitch time? Okay, so I said one thing to another person on this thread and you have to have a bitch fit! Get over yourself. And if you really think I'm looking for arguments then you truly are a paranoid person. I get it. I gave it away, but then I could be wrong. I don't need others agreeing with you just to tell me what you have already said. Maybe it's not me looking for agruments. :)

When did i have a bitch fit? You really need to re-read what i said. I stated that i don't like it when people ruin things for me and you got insulting. But yeah maybe i need to get over myself. Sorry, next time i just won't have an opinion.

How did I get insulting!? Do clarify that one. Did I say something offensive? No, I did not. Yes, you are entitled to give your opinion as freely as anyone on this site, and so am I, but maybe there's no need for you to get so uptight because I may have given something away. I didn't do it intentionally (sp?) or on purpose, but merely because I was making conversation with another member on this site.

I haven't been offensive nor insulting, so please...It seems maybe you are the one looking for an argument. I was merely giving an example earlier on and it was you who subtly bit back. There's no need for that!

If you thought i was being uptight then you are going to have a lot of problems in life dealing with people because i was no where near being uptight. I said something that bothered me, i didnt insult you or get uptight like you said. You decided to be sarcastic and sensitive instead of just having a regular conversation with me.

Then perhaps you should rephrase your words then. It is easy to take things out of context, but it seemed that you were getting bitchy merely to the fact I may have given something away. Big deal to be fair! It's nothing to get so pissy about, but then again, you said that wasn't the case. Maybe that was me, but whatever.

And maybe if you didn't put in your two cents when I gave a comment to someone, we wouldn't be having this conversation now, would we?

If the other person feels I have insulted them, then I will apologise, but please don't start throwing around accusations when I have done nothing wrong!

Oh, and sarcastic. It seems I'm not only one that is misreading things!
