2 days ago · Let the Right One In is a Swedish horror film based on the 2004 novel written by John Ajvide Lindqvist and gives an almost romantic, innocent perspective on the usual vampire character. The movie ...

Director:F. W. Murnau You can’t mention the best vampire movies without recognising where they all began. In today’s cinematic climate of CGI that costs the same as the GDP of a small Caribbean island, Nosferatu may not hold up all that well. It might actually make you titter at how dated it is. However, for featuring a vampire design that’s been a...
Director:Park Chan-wook Released at the perfect time to act as an antidote to Twilight, Thirst is a bloody masterpiece from the mind behind Oldboy. Park Chan-wook knows how to frame a scene unlike anyone else working today, which is evidenced by Thirst looking like a moving oil painting. Just as big on style as it is gore, Thirst is the tale of two...
Director:Joel Schumacher A movie so blatantly set in the eighties that it should be shown to aliens to learn all they need to know about the decade, The Lost Boys is a gaudy but hellishly enjoyable trip down to Santa Carla. It lacks the nuance of some of the more “thoughtful” vampire movies on this list, but it’s only when people are strange that t...
Director:George A. Romero You may know him as the King of Zombies, but George A. Romero was far more than just that. He made his name off of popularising the brainless shufflers with his iconic Dead trilogy, but Romero was just as comfortable dipping his toes in other morbid affairs. Martin is the prime example of that. Martin isn’t what you would ...
Director:Ana Lily Amirpour Billed as the first Iranian vampire Western (which isn’t hard to believe), A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is much more than its black and white aesthetic may let on. Produced on a micro-budget, Ana Lily Amirpour’s lo-fi horror has a surprising amount of unsettling imagery and confrontational themes. Dripping with style ...
Director:David Slade Released just before Twilight would ruin the perception of vampires for the next few years, David Slade’s 30 Days of Night showed them at their most brutal in years. The vampires in 30 Days are calculated, cold, and completely aware of their own evil nature. It’s as chilling as the Alaskan setting. When a freezing winter blows ...
Director:Jim Mickle An underrated post-apocalyptic moviethat we often sing the praises of here at Cultured Vultures, Stake Land is a road trip through a world controlled by vampires. We join Mister and Martin as they try to eke out survival where the vampires are as varied as they are bloodthirsty. Perhaps more in-line with their zombie cousins tha...
Directors:Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement A definite outlier in this list of the best vampire movies, What We Do In The Shadows is, in a word, daft. As one of the better horror comediesof recent times, What We Do provides a decidedly sillier spin on the traditional depiction of vampires. With Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi at the helm, What We Do...
Director:Guillermo del Toro Despite underwhelming with the critics at release, Guillermo del Toro’s Blade II was a hit with fans and arguably the best in the trilogy — there’s no arguing with it being better than Trinity, that’s for sure. You can squabble about this or the first one being the better Blade film, though Blade II gets the nod here as ...
Director:Tomas Alfredson A Swedish horror that was so good that even its American remakewas also warmly received, Let The Right One In is one of the simplest but most effective vampire movies you’re ever likely to watch. It’s a straightforward tale about growing up tied up in a whole bunch of viscera. When a bullied young boy becomes friends with a...
