Jim Jarmusch’s contribution to the vampire genre is a slow-paced, atmospheric, character-driven piece with very little plot. A well-made and beautifully shot art-piece that has at its core very little to do with vampires, but a lot with longevity. […]
This 2018 animated film is based on a well-established franchise, and yet it came and went without anyone really taking notice. The reception was cool, the film barely made its money back at the box office, and to this day the film has no entry in either the English nor the German Wikipedia.
This is not really surprising because while this film cannot really be called bad, it is undoubtedly rather unmemorable. […]
A man stumbles through Paris’s night-life looking for a man he doesn’t know. Based on a novel by prize-winning French author Tonino Benacquista, this film (also known as Love Bites) is full of untapped potential and minor plot holes. […]
Having been forced to flee his Transylvanian home, Count Dracula travels to New York in search of the love of his life, who has been reborn as a supermodel.
A lot about this film feels dated, but it is not any worse than the vampire comedies you know from the 1980s. […]
Eat Locals is a low budget British vampire film full of wry humour and unique characters. A great cast delivering very good performances helps this film stand out. […]
This TV-show for children is based on the first two novels of a 21-novel-franchise. A German-Canadian co-production, The Little Vampire features an impressive cast including Michael Gough and Gert Fröbe. […]
A solid yet unremarkable vampire film with a fair share of gore. As a sequel, this is a vast improvement on our protagonists’ previous outing. […]
Devoid of any kind of Gothic atmosphere, this rather boring mystery thriller sees Dracula flee his native lands and come to a small American town. The film offers a variety of contemporary special effects which do, however, not make up for the rather thin plot. […]
Very atmospheric, but without any real plot, this film soon becomes long-winded. […]
If you are happy with a vampire film that is dense in atmosphere but not really action-filled then Byzantium is a definite must-see. This film is well-rounded and hits exactly the right tone – in other words, Byzantium is what We Are the Night should have been, but wasn’t. […]
