The ten-second vampyre movie

So it's true: the undead really are. Since Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee first donned Dracula's wardrobe, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have chugged romantic gore in Ann Rice's Interview with a Vampire and even Eddy Murphy blooded himself as a Vampire in Brooklyn. But this year has seen a rhesus positive infestation with Stephen Moyer in True Blood and Robert Pattinson in Twilight representing only the fang tips of a blood sucking army that includes representatives from as far away as Korea and Denmark. So why can't we resist vampires? And more to the point, how do you get to be one? Allow me to explain...

Blade is easily just about wasting vampires and the efforts it takes to hold the disease at bay in his own body. So it is more about struggling against superior numbers and the struggle within :)

Oh I can't talk like that about movies, it's a cool movie with lot's of cool gadgets and swordplay and lot's of fighting with a bit of dark humour. And not about sex.

@metal9535 The thing is you can look at it how ever you want but the fact is they are meant to be true sequels and im not just saying this but i could seriously write a much better script than both The Lost Boys sequels. I mean these are meant to be real directors and story writers making these films and im just a guy that watches movies and i could write a better story lol. It feels like the original movie wasnt researched at all in the making of these 2 films

@SamHain1031666 this is very true, but i really dont look at the lost boys sequels as sequels, more as spin offs because of 2 reasons, the first one is that the first lost boys is such a great film that the other 2 dont have a chance in hell to compare to it, the other reason is it doesn't look at the original heroes it looks at the frog brothers, so i look at it more as a spin off like i said.

I hated both Lost Boys sequels because there claiming to be part of the same franchise as the original when there nothing like the original, the look of the vampires should have been identicle to the first Lost Boys movie, and the music also should have been identicle. I wrote a script for a sequel years ago where David Survives and is human again,and as a human he starts up a cult promising his clan the chance to be vampires.Oh yeah i love Fright Night,the remake looks great too

@SamHain1031666 i actualy liked the third lost boy film along with the first one, but what about fright night? it was a great film, or the hammer films, or Nosferatu and the 31 dracula film? there are plenty of great vampire films, none of them are talked about these days that much though

[SamHain1031666]

Best vampire movie ever made was The Lost Boys, and thats the original Lost Boys, not the 2 shitty sequels. Also, id have to rate Interview With A Vampirepretty close to The Lost Boys, but other than those 2 movies, i really dont think there have been many good vampire flicks.....From Dust Till Dawn was ok

Vampires are perennial, and have been since about 1897 when Stoker published Dracula All the sexual/supernatural themes were there from the beginning too.
