Movies and Vampires
So lately any movie I watch, I always see some kind of trailer for a vampire movie. I don't know about you, but I am pretty sick and tired of all these movies coming out trying to piggy back the success of that one movie based on that one book, you know the one. I mean can anyone here really go into a movie theater without seeing a movie trailer that isn't promoting vampires? There are other horrific monsters out there too like Frankenstein and Swamp Creatures. I am not sure if this is the right forum for this but if its not I am sorry in advance.

Re: Movies and Vampires
they are many vampire movies made yearly, even before twilight sent little girls flocking to the cinema.
you are just more aware of it now. |

Re: Movies and Vampires
Yeah, vampires has always been a big thing. They just seem to be in the lime-light more after Twilight. Don't catch me watching any of them, maybe Daybreakers... maybe... Naaaah

Re: Movies and Vampires
Gah, should I even bring up the TV programmes based upon Vampires that come out these days? Liek True Blood.
My god, just watch pornography or something. It'll get the job done faster.

Re: Movies and Vampires
As much as I like vampires (but not Twilight, I'm afraid) Hellsing is my limit. I can't actually stand movie violence so I tend to stay away from any horror/action film involving vampires. Too much fake blood makes me feel sick :S

Re: Movies and Vampires
Daybreakers don't look too bad.
I'm not really into the whole Vampire movie thing, Its not my fav theme anyways. My friend dragged me to see Twilight and New Moon when they were out, In twilight i almost died, But i have to admit that New moon wasn't too bad mostly cause there were werewolves and we weren't always following the vampires. but still...bleh xD

Re: Movies and Vampires
I really like older vampire movies such as Interview With The Vampire, which was made out of a lot of win. There's too many emo-tastic vampire movies or ones attempting to be "cool". I dislike that whole super power stereotype is all.

Older kept close enough to a traditional vampire but the newer ones try to add something that will attract our generation, trying to get it "hip" or cool!....fail =/

Re: Movies and Vampires
Classifying Twilight as a vampire movie is probably an insult to the genre (or sub-genre, or whatever). Anyway, I've never been a real fan of vampire movies, not that I don't like them, I just never had any preference for them. Though, I'm kind of interested in seeing Daybreakers. It seems it may be a breath of fresh air after Twilight's massacre of the vampire image. Vampires were never meant to sparkle in the sunlight.
