Interesting too, one of the highest rated films, and unquestionably the highest rated vampire film of the last 70 years, Let the Right One In, received zero votes. Maybe other people hate subtitles as much as I do.

Not to mention the 3rd highest rated, Nosferatu the Vampyre 79, which is the other film to receive zero votes. I suspect Nosferatu the Vampyre is the least viewed of all ten films.

Has anyone here seen Nosferatu the Vampyre 79? What did you think of it?

I never saw Let the Right One In, but I do not really mind subtitles. I have seen Nosferstu 79, I liked it.

This is exactly why I would never waste my time watching an overdub. Truly awful stuff.

Yes! That's the one. Great find. Boy do I have a treat for you guys! :D This is the best part of the film, the English dub of the Asian woman, hilarious, check it out at 32:00.

Reporter: "Where did he fall from?"
Asian Woman: "He fall from up."

Yes, wonderfully respectful lines written for the "immigrants". Good grief.

Seriously though, I wish it wasn't dubbed nor subtitled, but I didn't mind the dubbing. Unless I felt like reading a film, which I don't mind from time-to-time.

LOL, I was just joking. But I don't doubt the subtitles caused a few spur of the moment decisions whether to see it at the time or not.

Had potential and Woods was great but it dropped the ball big time..

As a Carpenter fan, I was really looking forward to seeing Carpenter's Vampires. The PR talked about how it's scarier to not see the creature when other effects are used correctly, which I agree with. Sounded very cool.

Vampires wasn't at all what I was expecting, to say the least. It felt more like 'Escape from LA' than 'Halloween', again, to say the least. I fastened my seat belt for the ride. And at the end and every after, it was very forgettable for me. I don't remember being scared, intellectually intrigued, or even entertained. It just missed for me.

I voted for Fright Night. I grew up on that movie. I love Evil Ed and Peter Vincent! John Carpenter's Vampires is a close second!

As much as I adore Nosferatu and loved The Lost Boys as a kid (I think possibly the first vampire movie I ever saw) I went with Interview With The Vampire it was tough though. I wasn't very keen on Carpenter's Vampires despite being a big Carpenter fan.

Also I think Vampyr is very underrated it's not Nosferatu but it is very good and highly worth watching. I also on the other end of the spectrum have a huge soft spot for Vamp for entertainment value alone.

Probably have to go with Vampyr myself. Just completely hypnotizing and absorbing.

The original Vampire Hunter D is my favorite vampire film. Still only slightly dated because of some visual effect choices this film really drives home the power and menace of a vampire with alot of unique elements and a setting unlike any created before. Also, keep in mind, this is based on a book series. It didn't have the pre-existing bulk of visual references that most anime is bound to now-a-days.
