Vampire movies have change greatly throughout the years. I still cannot forget the first time I watched Nosferatu, I thought it was a masterpiece until I saw Bram Stoker's Dracula, then I changed my mind a little. But writers and directors of all corners of the world keep bringing in new ideas about the whole vampire mythology as if such creatures used to walk or still are walking among us in the dark of the night. Perhaps some of them, have very vivid imaginations or do they? Europeans have had their various versions of the vampire myth, Americans and even Asians as well have touched up on the vampire concept. But the question remains who does it better? The Europeans with their Dracula, Let The Right One In, Night Watch, Day Watch, Nosferatu, Immortality; The Americans with their Interview with the Vampire, Dracula 2000, Queen of the Damned or the Asians with mostly their Anime versions of vampires. I've come to like all of them. Imported or exported Vampire breeds are alright with me as long as they stick with the main ideas that these creatures will seduce you as they are drinking you up since their ultimate juice is blood, that they are nearly invincible, fast as lightning, strangely beautiful and cold, very attracting, heart popping scary once they are revealed to you and you just cannot keep away as they are so irresistible.
Europeans, Asians or Americans, who do you think do Vampire movies better and why?:
I would have said Americans until that crapfest Twilight came out. But before that...just look at the list: Interview with the Vampire Near Dark The Lost Boys Fright Night Dracula Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Tv show) Salem's Lot Innocent Blood From Dusk till Dawn Blade Vampires Shadow of the Vampire Underworld 30 Days of Night All of those are great vampire films.
