Oscar Wilde’s Vampire Play

Vampires are Just Like Us

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 05:00:52 +0000

Earlier I traced the history of vampire metaphor from ” The Vampyre ” by John Polidori–which more or less created the trope of an undead nightmare stranger –to the later visions of the vampires as an incarnation of sin. This last covered a spectrum of sin as temptation (especially in the Hammer films) to a search for redemption (the likes of Barnabas Collins and Nick Knight). But lately, vampirism in books, television and film began exploring a new idea

A Tale of Two Vampire Films

admin — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 07:51:50 +0000

Hardly a more honored vampire film has ever been released as ” Let The Right One In ” (2008) based on the novel by John Aljide Lindqvist . So beloved did this film become that news of an English-language version, made less than two years after the first, sparked howls of disgust. Yet when ” Let Me In ” (2010) debuted, it received nearly universal positive reviews.

Review: Let Me In

admin — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:24:12 +0000

If you haven’t seen Let Me In yet, then SPOILER ALERT! The funny thing about this film, is that it was probably much anticipated by the people who had never heard of ‘Let the Right One In’, but for the people who had seen the movie, it was practically feared, –there was an air of anxiety for the remake-a-phobics, and we all generally just cowered at our desks while we waited for the release.

The Real Top 10 Vampire Movies

admin — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 19:00:05 +0000

While scanning the latest vampire blogs and news I came across a list of the top vampire movies, and well, it was horrible (Van Helsing should never be on a top 10 vampire movie list). So I got my google search on and looked up other vampire movie lists, and of course, those were all terrible as well. I learned pretty quickly that all of the movies listed were actually the writer’s opinion of the best vampire movies out there.

New French Let Me In Poster Draws Blood

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:03:41 +0000

Say what you want about the movie itself, the poster art for Matt Reeve’s upcoming vampire remake of Let the Right One In titled Let Me In has been extremely cool, and this latest French one-sheet is no different. Let Me In is a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year-old boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex

Who is the most horrific movie vampire?

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:30:09 +0000

I had a difficult time narrowing down who should appear on my most horrific vampire poll, and I decided to limit the list to movies to avoid confusion between the film and literary versions of characters. Sometimes, a vampire comes across as appalling in a book, but they’re toned down for their film adaptation, and vice versa (see Håkan from Let the Right One In ). Because there’s so much interest in the attractive side of vampires, there aren’t a whole lot of scariest vampire lists out there.

Underworld tops the latest poll

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:39:10 +0000

In my most recent poll, I asked, “What is the best pre-Twilight new-millennium vampire movie?” There were 432 responses, and Underworld took the lead with 33% of the votes. In my best of the 80s and 90s vampire movie polls, the top-grossing films received the top spots. Not so with this poll: Blade II did better at the box office than any of the movies ranking higher in the poll, and third-place winner Let the Right One In had the least amount of box office success.
