New Vampire Movies 2023 & 2022
1. Nosferatu (1922)
The pioneer though accused and proved to be an official and unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula stands tall even today for the technique and talent that scarred its viewers (the movie was done that well).
After being sued by Stoker’s heirs the movie was ordered by the court to be completely destroyed but a few copies survived and became the textbook for the generations that followed.
The young energetic real estate assistant Hutter is sent by his superior to Count Orlok in Transylvania who wants to buy a house.
Everything looked normal until Hutter stopped at an inn where the people seemed terrified at the mention of the count’s name. werewolves and vampires are a myth or not.
What followed becomes a supernatural super horror movie that is spoken about even 100 years later.
A perfect example of the much-loved human trait of how we fail to see the trap in front when money is dangled right before it.
This time however the trouble got out of our hands. The movie showed an excellent cinematic technique for the time and though it was initially meant for a small audience, destiny had different plans and it traveled far and wide.
2. Daybreakers (2009)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Daybreakers |
| Release Year | 2009 |
| Watch time | 98 min |
| Directors | Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig |
| Cast | Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, Harriet Minto-Day |
| Domestic Box office | $30.10M |
| IMDb Rating | 6.4 |
| Metascore | 57 |
| Writers | Michael Spierig |
| Music By | Christopher Gordon |
| Cinematography By | Ben Nott |
| Costume By | George Liddle |
The Spierig brothers’ science fiction action thriller while having so many predictable plotlines took a major deviation from the right turn point and that confused as well as majorly engaged the audience.
There is a future world and there for a change, humans are not running that world. “People are always willing to pay extra for the real thing.” The popular real-world marketing strategy has taken a vampirish bath and you all are going to love this story.
The world has been taken over by vampires and humans are bred for their blood.
The hematologist Edward Dalton played by Ethan Hawkes is trying to find a substitute for human blood which he believes can be a change to the whole destiny of the human race.
And one day he meets a strange woman who might have the answer to his questions.
The movie steadily grows from its moody state into a gory final act that will tell you some stories about the effort that went behind creating the not-so-usual vampire story.
3. Fright Night (2011)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Fright Night |
| Release Year | 2011 |
| Watch time | 106 min |

| Metascore | 64 |
| Writers | Marti Noxon |
| Music By | Ramin Djawadi |
| Cinematography By | Javier Aguirresarobe |
| Costume By | Richard Bridgland |
A remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 brilliance and they didn’t do it that bad we would say.
Our hero Charley Brewster lives in a suburb in the desert with his mother. As an old friend comes back into his life so do many missing cases and a vampire.
The teen remake of the original witty vampire story is about gore, fights, and also balanced out some missing plotlines of the past. It too missed some important aspects but leaving all that aside this little town with the newly moved-in vampire will give you all quite a fun ride.
4. Let The Right One In (2008)
A highly disturbing vampire story very unlike the usual Dracula story. The Swedish romantic horror film tells the story of a young boy who makes a very strange friend in the suburbs of Stockholm in the early 1980s.
As Oskar wanders around with his new friend Eli what he doesn’t know is that his friend is actually a vampire.
And to the strange story of survival in between all his bullies sometimes a vampire might be the right choice to have around you.
This movie is not for everybody because it is really disturbing for the genre. But then you all came here for that package and looks like the movie is a total package.
5. Dracula (1931)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Dracula |
| Release Year | 1931 |
| Watch time | 75 min |
| Directors | Tod Browning, Karl Freund |

| IMDb Rating | 7.5 |
| Metascore | 71 |
| Writers | Bram Stoker |
| Music By | Karl Freund |
| Cinematography By | Milton Carruth |
| Costume By | Charles D. Hall |
The first talkie horror film gave a proper direction to many better and well-received horror films.
The American Pre-Code supernatural horror film was an overall success that led to a number of spins offs and sequels based on the same to be released.
Bela Lugosi plays a very well-mannered and composed Dracula. Dracula and Renfield go to England as the vampire wants Mina to join him in his afterlife.
Her fiancée and Van Helsing should stop them before things get out of hand. One of the greatest movies of Hollywood from the time that stood tall among all the tests and is still regarded as a great movie.
6. Black Sunday (1960)
Mario Bava’s official directorial debut is about a witch who curses her killers. Asa Vajda and her paramour are sentenced to death for sorcery.
She curses her killers. Two hundred years later the witch is released from her curse and sets out for vengeance.
The name and the face of Barbara Steele will stay with you even after the movie ends.
Widely recognized as Mario Bava’s greatest movie the movie played beautifully all the limitations of the time.
The gothic appearance of the movie is spookier and scarier than the usual hammer movies.
7. Dracula (1958)
There are so many versions of the Dracula movie done over time and this one remains among the best in the lot.
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee have set standards for the greatest horror duo in history all through their films, a reference still remains intact when the genre is the subject in discussion.
Christopher Lee became the new face of Dracula after the death of Bela Lugosi and he made sure to keep the legacy.
Much in difference to the previous movies, this one is more about blood and gore than the gothic elements.
The deaths are formed more into a revenge story than just the quest for blood.
The best part of the movie is the climax where Helsing realizes the coffin is in the cellar and there is an elevation of the plot and the scene with the fighting element added to it.
8. Vampyr (1932)
Dreyer’s first sound film came with a lot of struggles and challenges for the time it came out from.
The technique the movie showed on a visual level was terrific and much appreciated as well.
The story is about a man drawn into a castle due to some strange reasons where he ends up being the rescuer for the curse of a vampire bestowed upon the young women of the house.
Many questions still left unanswered was the major drawback of the movie.
9. Vampire Academy (2014)
| Entity | Detail |

| Title | Vampire Academy |
| Release Year | 2014 |
| Watch time | 104 min |
| Directors | Mark Waters |
| Cast | Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovskiy, Gabriel Byrne |
| Domestic Box office | $7.79M |
| IMDb Rating | 5.5 |
| Metascore | 31 |
| Writers | Richelle Mead |
| Music By | Rolfe Kent |
| Cinematography By | Tony Pierce-Roberts |
| Costume By | Lisa Chugg |
They put on a twist on Hogwarts with vampires. Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) and Vasilisa “Lissa” Dragomir (Lucy Fry) had run away from St. Vladimir’s Academy and have been living alone for almost a year until their guardian finds them and brings them back.
Lissa is a princess and Rose falls in the category meant to protect them. As they return there are many threats and difficulties for the duo along with fighting the teenage issues as well.
There is also an interesting twist at the very end. The movie didn’t raise our expectations much and hence didn’t disappoint either.
A light fantasy teenage story with all the quirks that come with the vampire story.
10. Let’s Scare Jessica To Death (1971)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Let’s Scare Jessica to Death |
| Release Year | 1971 |
| Watch time | 89 min |
| Directors | John D. Hancock |

| IMDb Rating | 6.4 |
| Metascore | — |
| Writers | John D. Hancock |
| Music By | Orville Stoeber |
| Cinematography By | Robert M. Baldwin |
| Costume By | Mariette Pinchart |
John Hancock’s directorial debut is a scary journey through the anticipations of a psychologically traumatized woman who believes that another woman she has let into her house is actually a vampire.
There is this strange creepy mood that the movie develops on you that you end up hoping that so much is about to happen.
A young woman with her husband and friend moves to a town where they meet another strange woman who they invite to stay over.
As history unfolds about the previous residents and their daughter killed on her wedding day who is believed to be a vampire a strange figure rises from the lake making the most unsettling impact on the viewers.
A very underrated psychological thriller that will haunt you, at least for a few days.
11. Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell (1968)
The Japanese science horror fiction movie became an instant hit for the change in genre that it experimented with.
Sugisaka; Kuzumi; Mrs. Neal, an American widow; Senator Mano of the Constitutional Democratic Party; weapons exporter Tokiyasu and his wife Noriko; psychiatrist Momotake; space biologist Professor Sagai; and the young man who called in the bomb threat are the sole survivors of a plane crash.
In order to survive the hijacker and the vampire plague they all now have to play to their strengths.
Quentin Tarantino described the movie as one of his favorites. We agree that this movie is not for all but once you get a feel for the genre there is so much you could explore available in the movie.
12. Daughters Of Darkness (1971)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Daughters of Darkness |

| Costume By | Alexandre |
The Belgian Erotic horror film is about two women who are vampires but not the kind you might be familiar with.
Stefan Chilton is traveling with his newlywed wife Valerie and as they had to stop in between for a brief time they meet a strange countess Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Báthory with her secretary Ilona who is recalled by many as have not aged at all.
All the while strange killings of children happen in the town, little did the couple know about what is going to fall over them.
And for Valerie, her fate is about to take a tragic turn in all its essence.
And for the vampire, you all might have guessed but that’s just not it. There is more yet to come with an ending that might scare you a bit as well.
The weird stylish vampiric erotic movie has a different take on vampires here.
13. Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)
From the better part of the hammer series, Dracula has risen from the grave this time to get back his castle and take revenge on the exorcist responsible for it.
James Bernard’s music score is the perfect background note to keep the thrilling element on track.
There is the usual formula of Dracula movies visible even in this one with the story.
Dracula wants revenge on the exorcist and for that controls the priest into revealing all the details of the exorcist.
The exorcist’s niece is under Dracula’s spell while her atheist boyfriend tries to protect her.
Weak character development was significantly evident in this movie. But still, the making of the movie gave hope for better ones to come.
14. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola is not the truest version of the book but has tried hard to be among the finest versions ever created.
Acting-wise also the movie stood out for the technique it showcased. Winona Ryder deserves a special mention for her skills.
Vlad Dracula rises from his grave to avenge the death of his wife. As he believes that Mina Murray is the reincarnation of his wife, he is on a desperate journey to get her back. while Van Helsing is called upon to make things right.
This film is believed to be the closest to Bram Stoker’s novel. The cinematography, costumes, and visuals were excellent in the Coppola magic version.
15. The Addiction (1995)

| IMDb Rating | 6.5 |
| Metascore | — |
| Writers | Nicholas St. John |
| Music By | Joe Delia |
| Cinematography By | Ken Kelsch |
| Costume By | Beth Curtis |
The 1995 American vampire horror film with its black and white cinematography showed some really unique cinematography skills.
The young student Kathleen Conklin was walking home and then everything changes for her when a Casanova bites her.
And from then she suffers a strong addiction to blood. The director is well known for his drug addiction movies and in one way the addiction can be read like that as well.
You would be really surprised at the similarities that you would find here. There is also a number of philosophical references stated not so subtly which to our surprise was enlightening enough.
The weirdly good movie will easily be your personal favorite B-movies list.
16. Chronos (1985)
Guillermo del Toro’s first full-length film is a very different story from the usual kind in the genre.
It all begins when centuries ago an alchemist found a strange device that promises immortality.
Years later an old kind of religious antique dealer Jesús Gris finds the device in an archangel and somehow starts it only to get injected by the device.
As Gris finds his youthful vigor finding its way back to him, there is another man who has been searching for the same device for years.
Sometimes very deadly humans can be more dangerous than all supernatural beings. Can a vampire survive the struggles with the ruthless and dying Dieter de la Guardia, who is in dire need of the device?
Unlike the usual blood and gore, this movie has an equally significant storyline running in parallel that will make you really want to see the whole thing.
17. Thirst (2009)

|---|---|
| Title | Thirst |

| Metascore | 73 |
| Writers | Émile Zola |
| Music By | Yeong-Wook Jo |
| Cinematography By | Chung-hoon Chung |
| Costume By | Jae-Sung Lee Seong-hie Ryu |
The South Korean horror film is loosely based on the 1867 novel Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola.
Park Chan-wook has given the world something that the thirst for more begins right after this movie.
The plotline is about a priest who volunteers for treatment of a strange virus that has plagued so many but ends up being infected.
As the priest falls in love with his friend’s wife his supernatural desires for the woman make him do very unnatural things which he wouldn’t do in his usual senses.
An engaging and disturbing weird tale that showed some great direction and performances from the actors the movie became well-received as well.
The film also won Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
18. Isle Of The Dead (1945)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Isle of the Dead |
| Release Year | 1945 |

| Directors | Mark Robson |
| Cast | Boris Karloff, Ellen Drew, Marc Cramer, Katherine Emery |
| Domestic Box office | — |
| IMDb Rating | 6.5 |
| Metascore | — |
| Writers | Ardel Wray |
| Music By | Leigh Harline |
| Cinematography By | Jack MacKenzie |
| Costume By | Albert Greenwood |
As a fun fact rather than being inspired by books or other movies, this movie was inspired by the painting Isle of the Dead by Arnold Böcklin.
Be prepared for Vorvoloka, because the power can still be around. After almost a ten-year quarantine a military squad is sent to an island where a defunct biological warfare lab is situated to retrieve some very controversial documents.
But they have to fight not only natural causes but vampires or Vorvoloka power that now infest the island as well.
A war within themselves to survive as they battle the superstations or the reality makes one good film to watch.
Christopher Cano and Chris Ridenhour’s score complements the great cinematography by Laura Beth Lov. If for everything the movie is one splendid visual treat in all aspects.
19. Nadja (1994)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Nadja |
| Release Year | 1994 |
| Watch time | 93 min |
| Directors | Michael Almereyda |
| Cast | Elina Löwensohn, Peter Fonda, Nic Ratner, Karl Geary |
| Domestic Box office | $0.45M |
| IMDb Rating | 6.1 |
| Metascore | 64 |
| Writers | Michael Almereyda |
| Music By | Simon Fisher-Turner |
| Cinematography By | Jim Denault |
| Costume By | Dina Doll |
A different approach to the genre that the film can be categorized as an art film.
Count Voivoide Arminius Chousescu Dracula is dead and his daughter Nadja comes to claim the body.
Van Helsing who is in jail now uses the help of his son to make sure that the reign of the Dracula family is to be stopped once and for all.
The narrative also shifts when Nadja looks into her brother’s condition along with his nurse who has to be saved.
Cassandra is Van Helsing’s niece. Peter Fonda does a great job as Van Helsing and even as Dracula which was difficult to point out as both were the same person.
The art film received a lot of criticism but in total was a very different take on the vampire story.
20. The Lost Boys (1987)

| Title | The Lost Boys |

| Domestic Box office | $32.22M |
| IMDb Rating | 7.3 |
| Metascore | 63 |
| Writers | Jan Fischer |
| Music By | Thomas Newman |
| Cinematography By | Michael Chapman |
| Costume By | Bo Welch |
The success of this movie led the franchise to create two sequels and two comic book series as well.
Word has it that a reboot is on the way with Noah Jupe and Jaeden Martell .” One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires.” and that’s a finish you didn’t anticipate.
And that is all about the place with so many vampires running around. Michael and Sam travel to Santa Carla with their mother Lucy to live with her eccentric father called grandpa.
Michael falls for a star who is already dating David the head of a biker gang.
Sam befriends Edgar and Alan frog who are vampire hunters. When Micheal is lured into David’s gang and becomes a partial vampire Sam asks the help of his friends to reverse the curse but he may be too late.
A teenage action movie that will make you laugh and fear at the same time will be much more enjoyable if it has a top-notch soundtrack.
Joel Schumacher did something incredible with the script that makes the experience really worthwhile.
21. Dracula: Pages From A Virgin’s Diary (2002)
Completely shot in the silent film tradition, the movie mimicked a lot of the memorable techniques of the era.
The “Bloofer Lady” takes over the city and panic spreads around as infants are killed by her.
Lucy Westenra is engaged to marry Lord Arthur Holmwood but then fate had different plans for her when Dracula arrives and attacks her.
She is contaminated and Van Helsing tries to revive her. Renfield the inmate of a mental asylum escapes causing a chain massacre.
Lucy becomes Dracula’s puppet and fear and dread spread across the city. To bring back the balance a lot is to be done as Dracula is to be killed.
The film is mostly shot in black and white with occasional bright colors. A worthy experiment that followed the traditional vampire story.
22. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)
| Entity | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust |
| Release Year | 2000 |
| Watch time | 103 min |
| Directors | Jack Fletcher, Yoshiaki Kawajiri |
| Cast | Andrew Philpot, John Rafter Lee, Pamela Adlon, Wendee Lee |
| Domestic Box office | $0.15M |
| IMDb Rating | 7.7 |
| Metascore | 62 |
| Writers | Hideyuki Kikuchi |
| Music By | Marco D’Ambrosio |
| Cinematography By | Hitoshi Yamaguchi |
| Costume By | Kenichi Kawamura |
The movie is widely regarded as the sequel that was equally compelling to the previous one.
The movie is based on the third novel in Kikuchi’s series D – Demon Deathchase.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri the anime master has taken his techniques to the next level to make this visual treat.
The film is set in the future where Vampires and monsters lurk around but are declining in number due to the vampire hunters.
Charlotte Elbourne is abducted from her home by the extremely powerful nobleman bloodsucker Meier Link.
And now we are introduced to the dhampir or Vampire Hunter ‘D’. Charlotte’s father who is wheelchair-bound hires Vampire Hunter ‘D’ to find her and offers a huge sum as a reward.
At the same time, another team called The Marcus brothers is also hired by Charlotte’s elder brother Adam.
Both take a run for the money though later the groups realize that the woman went with Meir on her own terms.
The group however in the end had to make an alliance to complete the mission.
Meier meanwhile also hires his own team to protect him; the mutant Barbarois. And there ensues a battle where loss is inevitable for everyone involved.
The movie began with the story of a rescue mission but then there is a twist to the story that changes its direction.
There is depth, very much satisfying gothic elements, and a great animated adventure that together makes one of the greatest animated vampire movies of the time.
Highly recommended for genre fans.
23. Let Me In (2010)

| IMDb Rating | 7.1 |
| Metascore | 79 |
| Writers | Matt Reeves |
| Music By | Michael Giacchino |
| Cinematography By | Greig Fraser |
| Costume By | Ford Wheeler |
The remake of the 1985 cult classic has indeed made some significant landing marks but somehow failed to reach every nook and corner.
The remake of the Swedish much favored “Let the right one in” tells almost the same story.
Owen is a kid with a traumatizing life with bullies at school and a broken family until Abby moves in next door who is actually a vampire.
Both the kids do total justice to the characters that you see how their broken souls connect.
Americans are not in for movies with subtitles and hence came this movie. Well while most remakes are evil, we believe this one was faithful to the original story and did try to make sure that it did not hurt anybody.
The fans wouldn’t be hurt.
24. Martin (1977)

With George Romero passing the tickets we all board the train with Martin from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh.
The psychological horror-thriller is about a young man who thinks he is a vampire and feeds on the women he meets.
On moving to Pittsburgh to his cousin’s aid he believes will cure his urges but fails miserably only to ultimately lead to some very tragic consequences.
With old cousin Tateh Cuda who believes some of this true Martin is on a killing spree and later we also see the death of Christine, the cousin’s relative for which Martin is accused of as well.
The zombie man Romero has given a very strong and powerful impact on Martin and yes you all would feel that as well.
25. The Brides Of Dracula (1960)
The voice narrates”Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black unfathomable lakes. Still, the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to its close.
Count Dracula, the monarch of all vampires, is dead. But his disciples live on to spread the cult and corrupt the world.
There is that spooky stylish ambiance of the movie that you know when the woman is Seen to be traveling alone to her new job and gets stopped in the middle that she is walking right into danger.
A baroness offers to take her for the night. When the truth is actually revealed the baroness occasionally takes a young woman into her castle for her vampire son to feed on.
But when this young woman sympathizes with the son hell is broken loose. There is the legendary Van Helsing and a whole town to fight the vampire but this time Dracula is attending the war with his horde of brides making it all too complicated.
Different from the previous movies the climax shows an innovative take on Meinsters killing.

Underworld has a history to tell, of Lycans and vampires. The Corvinus bloodline takes a deviation from their history when it is revealed that an heir carries a unique genetic strain.
The strain will allow him to be a vampire-Lycan hybrid. Selene a vampire death dealer who kills Lycans falls in love with Michael, a human.
But when he is bitten by a Lycan her duty and emotions are at war.
This is the center of the plotline. Of love, revenge, family, and relationships this movie is definitely a must-watch.
And adding to the fun, unlike our usual leaders who fight for power these people have developed a well-versed pattern where the elders hibernate until their chance.

The underworld series never disappoints, and the second movie in the series also lived up to the name.
The war between the vampires and the Lycans has been kept a secret for years.
The two sons of Alexander vary in all aspects. Marcus’s brother is imprisoned despite his interventions.
There are stories that the Vampire universe secretly hid under its roof for ages and it’s time for them to come out.
There is also an in-depth journey into Selene’s past revealing why she is very important at this stage of the story.
As an understanding between the enemies goes unresolved. The only hope now is to wake the very forefather of all these evolutions, Alexander Corvinus.
The war between the werewolves and vampires goes deadly with the battle at the very end.
Though the backstory of the movie is something very hard to keep up with once you get the hang of it things will start looking good.

The third movie of the series also stood at par with its predecessors. Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy are back and we couldn’t expect anything better.
The aristocratic dilemma still continues. A Lycan falls in love with the vampire and the rest isn’t hard to predict.
And for Selene, this movie has revelations that she finds hard to believe. CGI, visual effects, music, and makeup all excelled very well in their domains to be proud of.
The blood and gore at times are enough to haunt you even in your good dreams.
Highly recommended to the ones in love with the genre and also to the ones who are planning to fall in love with it.

A program to study them ends in a disaster and erasing the non-humans becomes a priority.
Due to her high vampiric skills, Selene gets imprisoned in cryogenic suspension. As Selene and Michael are captured things go through a rough patch for the crowd outside.
Not the best in the franchise, this movie takes a different turn from the previous ones as it is no longer entirely devoted to vengeance.
There are some thrilling actions and events, overall, this is a slightly above-average not bad movie.
The movie received a lot of backlash for not having a proper storyline than just the action.

“Forget whatever you’ve seen in the movies: they don’t turn into bats, crosses don’t work.” And by that, this is not a usual vampire story.
A team of church-sponsored vampire hunters headed by Jack Crow clears a nest but suspects that they haven’t found the master.

Third, in the Universals Dracula film series film historian Gary Rhodes described the movie as ‘varied’.
Count Alucard played by Lon Chaney, Jr. is said to be Dracula’s son which in reality is Dracula spelled backward so he can also be another version of the real Dracula.
The story begins when the count moves to New Orleans to visit a woman who is in dire search of immortality and then strange things start happening around the town and everyone suspects the count.
There are not many horror elements added to the movie but there are enough spooky elements to make it worthwhile.
Lon Chaney Jr.is not everyone’s cup of tea but we agree that he did a fairly good job.

An at-the-office horror film with a tinge of comical element added to it.
The overworked employee Evan Sanders’s life starts falling apart as his girlfriend dumps him and his boss gives a much-deserved and desired promotion to his arch-nemesis and then it looks like his life is about to confluence with supernatural forces.
Now an office full of productive vampires and a few trying hard to battle them and to their advantage even the legal team joins the vampire tribe.
Kind of odd and slightly off but still the second half of the movie has enough comical elements to keep you all in the loop.
36. Captain Kronos—Vampire Hunter (1974)
The British swashbuckling action horror film from Hammer studio took a different turn from their usual horror.
When Kronos and his companion, the hunchback Professor Hieronymus Grost are vampire killers called into a town to investigate mysterious deaths suspected to be vampires.
Now the special thing about these vampires is that they don’t kill just for blood but for youthfulness, and to kill this special breed there is a number of special techniques used which you will find fascinating as well.
There are so many good things to be pointed out about the movie from having a very good score, great technique, and some interesting musical scores to making it all worthwhile.
The Van Helsing kind of Kronos and his movie is definitely an escape into the vampire universe that you will enjoy.

This stylish romantic vampire movie grew into an obsession for teenagers all over the world and to that extent, the name also got branded as a category of the genre.
The initial support the movie received led to a franchise being built over the Stephanie Meyer books that followed.
The first Movie shows Bella Swan moving in with her divorced father since she no longer can stay with her mother.
Bella is intrigued by another student of the same school, Edward Cullen who hails from a mysterious family that keeps to just themselves.

The three-world perspective and the appreciation it received followed to bring out four more movies.
While the plotline wasn’t widely popular, over the course you could get a good perspective on the changing cinematic techniques and brilliance over the short span through these movies.
The movies that follow are from the series and much isn’t revealed because it is very easy to spill the spoilers for the series.

The next movie in the saga after New Moon was widely accepted for being better than the previous movie.
The cinematography, color grading, and editing were much better and commendable in this movie. Someone is recruiting a vampire army and so the age-old enemies now united by a common love interest form a truce and for that a very uneasy one.
The werewolves and the Cullens now have a common enemy. Striking some interesting action sequences this movie was called the best one so far in the series.

Jacob imprints on Renesmee, rendering her safe from werewolves but this relationship will be more than what anybody could have anticipated.
This movie is the final installment in the franchise loaded with gory action sequences.
42. What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
A fresh take on the genre happens with this movie when four vampires are sharing an apartment and of course the glimpse into the roommate shenanigans.
Viago, Vladislav, Deacon, and Petyr are roommates and to make the plot more interesting they are also vampires who are followed by a documentary team as well.
These vampires also possess some supernatural powers like levitation and turn themselves into animals. When their human help Jackie brings Nick as their treat, things don’t go as well as planned.
Nick causes quite a load of trouble that the vampire’s past is about to make a re-entry.
Months later when they visit the annual Unholy Masquerade things go out of control and werewolves also get involved.
Though there is a chance they might try to hypnotize you into forgetting this true gem, there is a possibility you won’t and of course, you can’t.
When the right bust of energy hits you hard even if you are tired of the genre you might end up liking it and there isn’t a better-accepted example.
43. Vampire Circus (1972)
The never-ending Hammer series, a movie about vampires who are into acrobatics or more commonly known as the circus.
The story surrounds a town that was earlier cursed by a Vampire and is now suffering from a deadly plague.
As they are barricaded from the rest of the world somehow a circus group makes their way only little did the town know that the group also has members of the family that had left the curse on them.
Before completely leaving the industry the movie is regarded among the noticeable works of Hammer though there is a lot of nudity, blood, and gore, unlike their usual productions.
44. Deafula (1975)
Now here is something different for cinema lovers all over the world. The 1975 American horror movie is completely done in sign language and for those who don’t understand sign language, a voiceover is given as well.
It’s a very strange experience and for that give it a try. The story is about a boy who discovers strange facts about himself through the discourse of life.
Steve Adams, a theology student suspects that he is a vampire. And then there is his mother who left his father to live in Dracula’s coffin, the father who gives him blood until he dies and many more strange things as well.
Something very surreal and for a glance into the deaf world of vampire perspectives let’s take a look.

The John Landis project kickstarted with so many expectations that many were disappointed with the result, nonetheless we don’t think any less of it.
The idea of vampire mobsters is very convincingly entertaining here. When Marie (Anne Parillaud) kills all the monsters but accidentally leaves one unscathed (Robert Loggia) he, in turn, kills and turns many.
And then with mobs and the vampire’s movie takes some interesting turns. As Marie teams up with the police to make things right let’s see what really works.
There is so much mess surrounding this creation but with an excellent cast and top-notch technique, the movie does have a unique taste.

Widely not included in most discussions because of its Adam Sandler story, this movie deserves immediate attention for being one good animated story that we loved watching.
The movie for one surprise twist is the story of a man who is not so good named Jonathan who accidentally comes across a hotel and falls in love with Dracula’s daughter.
As the overprotective father tried really hard to protect his daughter, things don’t always work in your favor. And who wouldn’t like the part of the story where Dracula has a rebellious daughter?
47. Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)
A glimpse into the Japanese pit of violence, blood bath, and gore very different from all the similar story vampire flicks over the years.
The story centers around a group of Yakuzas and their many vampire powers. There are many oddball comedy elements used every now and then but the main issue with the movie was many unhinged plotlines that totally surprised the viewers.
Hayato Ichihara works as a henchman for his boss who is actually a vampire. While his boss is dying he bites Ichihara.
And now he is on a revenge spree. With even a frog monster around there are so many weird and fun elements packed into this movie.

The Will Smith starrer is loosely based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson.
Everything goes wrong on earth when a virus developed to cure cancers wipes humanity and hence befalls a deadly curse.
Neville is the last human on earth surprisingly immune to the virus and is developing a cure for it.
There are so many interesting, adrenaline-rushing events throughout the movie but mainly what went wrong with the movie was that the CGI couldn’t make the vampires convincing enough for the audience, and to the main drawback unlike the previous versions in this movie they don’t speak and also the “Darkseekers” don not retain much of their previous characteristics.

Eric has a miserable life or so he thinks until a man convinces him to die but then the man is actually a vampire who transforms Eric.
As Eric struggled so much in his human love life his bloodlust and vampire life seem to take some drastic changes as time progresses.
With a lot of humorous elements added to a man’s miserable journey through life, this movie is good enough for some light mood moments.
50. Planet Of Vampires (1965)
The movie is considered one of the greatest gifts to the cinematic universe of Mario Bava.
When two space shuttles crash on an alien planet as some mysterious entity possesses them and they start killing each other.
As the dead bodies become possessed and start killing the survivors. As the survivors come together, they realize they are not alone.
Barry Sullivan and Norma Bengell stand out, especially for their spectacular performances. The movie came out from a small budget but had some impressive output and became widely seen for the technique used.
51. The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires (1974)
The final movie in the Hammer Dracula series was widely regarded as being the most absurd in the series.
Dracula is played by John Forbes-Robertson who possesses the body of a Taoist monk who had come to warn him about the declining power of the seven golden vampires.
Dracula escapes the castle by using the monk’s body. Years later as Van Helsing played by none other than Peter Cushing is on a mission to kill the six vampires in the village and in the end comes face to face with a familiar face from the past and then ensues the battle everyone has been waiting for.
Somewhat different from the previous takes on the Dracula story, here we have a colorful, quirky take on vampire nature that is quite entertaining.

Everything was normal for Buffy until one day a strange man called Merrick approaches her saying that she is the slayer destined to kill Vampires.
And then he takes her to a graveyard where she fights her first vampire. Buffy is also warned about Lothos who has killed many slayers in the past.
A lightweight fun movie with vampires running around with most characters doing justice to their jobs.
Buffy will keep you entertained although the second part falls apart a bit, nonetheless don’t compare it to the tv series because there is a chance that you might get disappointed then.
Buffy became an instant hit in the genre for being a lightweight entertainer and was quoted all through multiple parallel franchises.
53. Lifeforce (1985)
A film that became a box office failure upon release and received backlash from most of the critics but later itself became a cult movie.
This force lives in outer space and one unfortunate event brings them to earth changing the fate of everyone involved within.
A group of astronauts goes to outer space to investigate Halley’s comet but then they come across three corpses and a beautiful woman who is actually a space vampire.
When these reach earth it is beyond the control of normal humans. A pseudo-scientific horror thriller with enough gore to make their point valid, yes with the movie we explore a space vampire genre as well.
54. Salem’s Lot (2004)
The two-part American miniseries is the second television adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name. the successful writer Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem’s lot to write about the evils he had been familiar with in the past.

Anne Rice with this movie gives a different twist to the vampire story. Reporter Daniel Molloy is about to interview somebody and not just any random person but a vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac played by Brad Pitt who wants to narrate to the world his life story.
The grief-stricken wealthy plantation owner Louis was convinced by Lestat de Lioncourt to become a vampire but quickly Lewis gets bored of that as well as he is also detesting the fact of killing humans for survival.
Mourning the loss of his mortal family and more yet to come, this vampire story has much more than what you can anticipate.
It was indeed an unusual fact that Rice didn’t want Brad Pitt in the movie though the outcome clearly suggests the impact of his presence.

Well, now that’s a change. Did somebody say, Nicolas Cage? The full crazy, full Cage show makes this a total Nicolas Cage almost Wreckage.
But nonetheless, there are a lot of mannerisms even from the Stoker series that will make you laugh a lot.
Literary agent Peter Loew is on the verge of losing his sanity out of all his very unhealthy habits and with a new pass into the Vampire universe things go totally out of control.
As he tries to convince the whole world he is a vampire(he even gets a pair of fake fangs) it’s a comical dangerous vampire story that will entertain you all.

Well, we all dreaded something like this might happen, well nothing did thankfully. Okay, that was not about the movie but about the deadly virus.
Charlton Heston stars as the lone survivor of a global pandemic. The movie is the second official adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel I am Legend though a more popular adaptation would be the Will Smith Starrer of the same name ‘I am Legend’.
A biological war is upon the world and what if you get to try an experimental vaccine and it works?
As scary as it sounds looks like this is the story of the next movie on our list.
