VEERANA
More Bollywood lunacy from the wonderful Ramsay Brothers. VEERANA is actually one of the Ramsay’s more accomplished efforts, a colorful and energetic swirl of vampire movie madness
THE VAMPIRE IS ALIVE
More trash from Thomas Tang’s notorious Filmark International. THE VAMPIRE IS ALIVE contains much of the same disjointed, rapid-fire insanity of Tang’s ROBO VAMPIRE, his best-known work
VAMPIRE’S KISS
Here it is, the most out of control Nicolas Cage performance ever! As for the movie, it’s a seriously odd satire with Cage as an asshole businessman who may or may not be a vampire
VAMP
VAMP, from 1986, is a sexy vampire comedy that predated similarly themed films like THE LOST BOYS and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
BYZANTIUM
A vampire drama from INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE director Neil Jordon, who delivers a sleek and erotic Irish-centric film
STAKE LAND
If Terrence Malick directed I AM LEGEND the results would probably play a lot like Jim Mickle’s STAKE LAND, a terrific apocalyptic horror fest, and one of the standout films of 2011
SLAUGHTER OF THE VAMPIRES
An unauthorized take on DRACULA, SLAUGHTER OF THE VAMPIRES isn’t very good, but has amassed a following due, I’m assuming, to the fact that it’s so old
O ANJO DA NOITE (THE ANGEL OF THE NIGHT)
Brilliantly atmospheric horror from Brazil that prefigures, and very nearly matches, HALLOWEEN and WHEN A STRANGER CALLS in its depiction of a young woman receiving strange phone calls while looking after two children in a secluded mansion
JONATHAN
A most unique German made take on DRACULA that twists the material into a metaphor for the Nazi era. Stylish and audacious this film is, but it’s also obnoxiously pretentious
JESUS CHRIST, VAMPIRE HUNTER
This no-budgeter from 2001 shows how far a completely outrageous premise can take a film
