bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
We’ve got quite a few vampire films coming out this 2012, some of them are small indie films, but a surprising amount are huge, long-awaited, blockbusters. Here’s a look at the big vampire films fans can’t wait to see this year. UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING At long last Kate Beckinsale is returning for the fourth installment of …
Lots of “Ten Best” lists for vampire films wait for the would-be reviewer or simple researcher on the web. Almost as common are “Ten Worst” lists. Plenty of debate then follows, about which title deserves its placing and so on. But this list goes after something different. Not best or worst anything. Rather, which vampire …
With countless comic book movie adaptations on DVD and more coming to theaters every few months I can’t help but have comics on my mind. Plus, with the big (and ridiculously awesome) DC reboot on the way my brain is just packed full of comic-y goodness. Which is what brings you today’s post! These are …
Stake Land is a combination of Zombieland and The Road; the setting is bleak, and the zombies are vampires. Really, that’s all there is to it. The ‘vampires’ aren’t thinking machines, they’re crazed, and honestly, the fangs and pace at which they move are really the only thing that separates them from zombies. Once again, …
As you may remember, a while back I wrote about the top ten vampire movies, so you may be wondering why I am making another top ten list. Well, the films compiled on that list (see it here) were the highest rated vampire movies based on thousands of votes. Since it was based on ratings …
That’s right movie lovers, Vampire-Con Film Festival is returning for the third year! The film fest will take place at The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and is running for two nights. Two nights of classic fangtastic vampire flicks! Woo! Originally created to include ALL fans of vampires, Vampire-Con continues its tradition of showcasing …
There are countless vampire movies out there, movies that come in every shape, form and gore-level – you’ve got romantic vampire films, horror movies, cartoons, comedies, thrillers, porn – yeah, you get the point, there are a whole lot of vampire movies. But one genre that doesn’t get nearly enough love is anime, which is …
I was browsing through my NetFlix Watch Instantly section, –and my fellow subscribers will understand this, –coming across new additions to the Watch Instantly section is almost like… coming downstairs on Christmas. Especially if you love b-movies, indie films, and cheap horror. Which means a few new instantly watch-able vampire movies, that maybe not all …
Could this possibly be an April Fool’s gag? Honestly, that’s what I keep thinking, every time I read the story. But apparently, it’s true as of now. Summit Entertainment is currently planning to release a direct-to-DVD prequel of Carlisle’s life before the big Bella adventure. The release would end up being sometime in between the …
A coming of age story for every young vampire who feels like he’s just not up to snuff compared with mom, dad, incredibly slutty sister, –not too mention those movie vampires who seem like they get all the charm and moves. Now, add to that some stubby fangs, a stupid name like ‘Dupah’, and a …
I don’t think it would be in good character to blame anyone for ‘jumping the gun’ and saying that Reznor had already taken the part. But I’m going to do it anyway. When did responsible journalism die? I find the news, it says Trent Reznor’s accepting a role in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and then, …
I don’t know why it is exactly, but when I think of vampires drinking blood, I think of it as natural, sexy, mysterious; whatever. But when I think of people consuming blood, all I can think of is the effect air has on large puddles of blood: it turns into dark red jelly. Naturally, this …
I know you’re probably sick about all the talk regarding Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter; for one thing, it seems a little foolhardy to spend a lot of time building up any movie, let alone something as near and dear to our hearts as a vampire movie. Remember how anticipated Clash of the Titans was? *shudder* …
While scanning through old vampire movie titles I came across one I remember well, not because it was amazing, but because I hated it so much I never even bothered finishing it. However, this horrible film has stuck in my mind. Over ten years have passed since I watched The Addiction, and the hatred for …
The catch is, this isn’t actually a vampire movie. It’s a movie about a guy who has I guess, completely lost his marbles, who goes around Eastern Europe… killing harmless old men by pounding stakes through their hearts. And it’s directed, not by the -director- of Troll 2, but by the child star in Troll …
Now, okay, part of you is probably saying “Yay, a new vampire movie!” while the other part is like, “Wait, who?” Well, no worries, trust me, you know who Abigail Breslin. She’s the cute little chick from Zombieland, remember? Con Artist Chick, of the shortness? Anyway, now she’s starring in ‘Innocence’, a new vampire movie …
‘Hello Darkness’ reminds me of old music… you know the song, “Hello darkness, my old friend”? Old folky hippy music from the days of yesteryear, but the movie is actually pretty decent sounding, unlike… old hippy folk music from the days of yesteryear. Except, well, the vampire in this movie was turned during the “angry, …
I believe it was me who said that actor Ben Walker would look smashing as Abraham Lincoln, –and so far, I was incredibly accurate with my prediction. There are quite a few other little factoids that the blogs have managed to scrape together, mostly via intercepted emails, and probably with lots of waste-basket digging after …
Keep an eye on Suburban Vampire over the next two weeks; they’ll have writers and musicians in every day, talking about the ‘romantic allure of vampires’. If you want to check out new artists and writers who have been inspired by vampires, this is also a great place to find em. If you didn’t get …
One of my favorite literary themes is ‘The King in Yellow’; you’ll find it in music, many short stories, and in a particularly favorite episode of Masters of Horror; John Carpenter’s ‘Cigarette Burns’. I always fancied the idea of a deeply disturbing musical/film/play, that made people so incredibly incensed by what they were seeing, that …
