The vampire film is one of the oldest sub-genres of horror, and are prone to both fantastic hits, and utter failures. As with any genre, there are some great films that slip through the cracks, and find themselves lost in the minds of the viewer, with the memories of more recent, or lasting films. Here, for your pleasure this weekend, are three of my favorite, oft underrated, vampire films.
Bitten
Bitten stars Jason Mewes, of Jay and lent Bob fame, as a lonely night shift paramedic who brings a troubled women in off the streets. The catch? She's a vampire. The romance
angle played in Bitten is how a vampire love story should be.Dracula 2000
This may be the most well known of these films, as well as the one most likely to raise criticism. Dracula 2000 is not a great film, in same sense Let The Right One In was, but it is an absolute balls to the wall fun journey, suffused with sexuality and blood, and Gerard Butler as Dracula!
The Night Flier
The Night Flier is based on a Stephen King short story of the same name. The film follows a reporter who is trying to get a lead on a story, about a killer who's victims all seem to be that of a vampire. The vampire in The Night Flier is one of the most interesting looking,
with great fangs, and captivating vampires on screen, even taking a piss is interesting.
