Let the Right O...
Great 103 Points 2008

Downright charming, this vampire movie. It’s also loads of fun, freshly exploiting well known vampire conventions while delivering enough gross-outs to trigger a handful of yucks and well earned laughs.

Vampires aside, Let the Right One In achieves real distinction as a perfect evocation of…

Dark Shadows
Great 83 Points 2012

There’s lots to sink your teeth into – lots to like and chew over – in the reimagining of Dark Shadows. Camp-classic TV soap opera, it stands up to eccentric genius Tim Burton’s silver screen amplification.
Who cares that the LOLs are a bit strained.

Chortles count as laughs and *Dark Shad…

Interview with ...
Great 66 Points 1994

Looking for a real vampire movie? Baroque, bloody, bawdy, not to mention strict with the rules, Interview with the Vampire fits the bill. Indeed, Anne Rice’s celebrated novel led to a quintessential vampire movie: star powered, obsessively detailed and expansively imagined. Even mature movie…

Perfect 66 Points 2013

Brilliant vampire movie, thy name is Only Lovers Left Alive. Literate, laconic and full of lusciously languorous lassitude, it presents as ageless and au courant. Jim Jarmusch’s undead triumph introduces four vampires, though the V word is never used: Adam & Eve, Kit & Ava. Trust me, they …

OK 66 Points 2011

The beginning of the end is perhaps not the best episode to begin viewing the Twilight Saga, but family duty called. Which come to think of it, was the theme of the movie: Family Duty, Supernatural Style.

For a parent in tow, Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was more museum piece than entertainment…

Very Good 24 Points 2007

An interesting and original idea that was well presented, but did not fully live up to the potential the story had.

Twilight
Barely OK 17 Points 2008

Ok, so I put off seeing this for many years, but I finally bit the bullet and watched the teenage phenomena fueling Twilight. Well, apparently I wasn’t missing much. Other than the beautiful Washington rainy backdrop, it was an amalgam of unlikely events strung together to highlight the the tee…

Let Me In
Great 17 Points 2010

A bullied twelve year-old boy befriends a vampire-girl, who’s guardian needs to be a serial killer at night in order to feed her. Now that’s a horror movie! Nasty bullying scenes quickly put you on Owen’s side about wanting to hurt them — bad. You also quickly gain an affinity towards th…

Dracula
Barely OK 13 Points 1992

“Dracula” both disappointed and annoyed me, particularly having read the book beforehand. Everyone knows the story of the vampire count and his evil ways, but Coppola subverts the original and makes it both erotic and erratic. At turns surreal, thrilling, horrific and bewilderingly inchorent, F…

Blade
Great 12 Points 1998

In the world of comics, Blade was kind of a nobody. Sure, he was a cool idea, but he never really got beyond that in my eyes. Now a lot of that could just be that I came into comics well after Blade hit the scene in the 70’s. Cool idea – half man, half vampire – but whatever. That whatever tu…
