1. Let the Right One In (2008)
R | 114 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
Oskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl.
Director: Tomas Alfredson | Stars: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Henrik Dahl
Votes: 226,846 | Gross: $2.12M
I doubt that any day someone will be able to make a vampire movie better than this one. Much more than a vampire film, it is about bullying, friendship, love... The environment is cold as must be. The vampire is undoubtly a vampire, but not an obvious one, athough we can see all the traits.
2. A Noite do Vampiro (2006)
6 min | Animation, Short
A vampire tries to sleep, but a terrible predator approaches.
Director: Alê Camargo
Votes: 36
Review: What a brilliant short animated film from Brazil! In an expressionist São Paulo, we may explore the intimate life of a Nosferatu, which uses not to be shown in books or movies about vampires. The monster will have problems when he meets another blood-sucker! Everything is extremely nice in these six minutes that worth more than most of feature length films. Story is extremely clever and make spectator laugh all the time. Animation is very well done, heavily inspired in German Expressionism, as a spoof/tribute comedy. Crazy credits and intertitles are also hilarious - at least for Brazilians, as they make several references to popular culture and foreigners may not understand many of those jokes. The drawing style and action merge old silent movies and modern surrealist cartoon in a very amusing way. Watch it here: http://portacurtas.org.br/filme/?name=a_noite_do_vampiro
3. Tale of a Vampire (1992)
R | 93 min | Horror, Drama, Romance
Condemned to life without end, and to an undying passion for a lost love he can never find, a vampire stalks a beautiful young woman.
Director: Shimako Sato | Stars: Julian Sands, Suzanna Hamilton, Kenneth Cranham, Marian Diamond
Votes: 792
What a wonderful atmosphere for a vampire movie! A film for those who like vampire tales, not for those only interested in fast thrillers following an obvious formula. That perhaps explains the absolutely unfair bad users' rating in IMDB for this deep psychological British vampire film.
4. Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
R | 92 min | Drama, Horror
The filming of Nosferatu (1922) is hampered by the fact that its star Max Schreck is taking the role of a vampire far more seriously than seems humanly possible.
Director: E. Elias Merhige | Stars: John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Cary Elwes
Votes: 44,189 | Gross: $8.29M
Very innovative vampire film which tells a story about the shooting of "Nosferatu". Willen Dafoe is astonishing playig Max Schreck!
5. The Addiction (1995)
Not Rated | 82 min | Drama, Horror
A New York philosophy grad student turns into a vampire after getting bitten by one, and then tries to come to terms with her new lifestyle and frequent craving for human blood.

Votes: 1,463
Very funny and clever animation film from Cuba.
7. We Are the Night (2010)
Not Rated | 99 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
In Berlin, a cop closes in on an all-female vampire trio who just took in a new member, Lena.
Director: Dennis Gansel | Stars: Karoline Herfurth, Nina Hoss, Jennifer Ulrich, Anna Fischer
Votes: 8,846
Probably, the best "vampire action film" I have watched. Good acting, good plot, good characters.
8. Hotel Transylvania (2012)
PG | 91 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teenaged daughter.
Director: Genndy Tartakovsky | Stars: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez
Votes: 281,263 | Gross: $148.31M
Another funny and smart animation movie (off course being Cuban or from the United States makes "Vampiros en la Habana" and "Hotel Transylvania" completely different films).
9. Selfie from Hell (2015 Video)
2 min | Short, Horror, Mystery
A girl's just taking a selfie for her boyfriend when something really creepy happens.
Director: Erdal Ceylan | Star: Meelah Adams
Votes: 269
This horror short film has less than 2 minutes but was a viral with amazing success. It is supposedly about a zombie but that may be about a vampire. Watch it hee: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/zombie-only-appears-selfies-viral-6462231
10. The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
Not Rated | 91 min | Comedy, Horror
A noted professor and his dim-witted apprentice fall prey to their inquiring vampires, while on the trail of the ominous damsel in distress.
Director: Roman Polanski | Stars: Jack MacGowran, Roman Polanski, Alfie Bass, Jessie Robins
Votes: 33,876
Very funny and well done parody! Instead of Prof. Van Helsing and Count Dracula, we have Prof. Abronsius (together with his henchman, Polanski's Alfred) and Count von Krolock.
11. Suck (2009)
R | 91 min | Comedy, Horror, Music
A comedy centered on a rock 'n' roll band that will do anything to become famous.
Director: Rob Stefaniuk | Stars: Rob Stefaniuk, Jessica Paré, Paul Anthony, Mike Lobel
Votes: 5,215
What a funny Canadian dark comedy! Clever and innovative, well filmed and visually stunning. The stop motion trips by car or plane and the craziness of Jen's vampirization or blood abstinence footage are very cool and sophisticated cinematographic solutions. Beautiful Jessica Paré's character Jennifer is one of the most charming vampiresses I have ever seen, perhaps the most. Characters portrayed by music stars, such as Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and punk rock Black Flag's Henry Rollins are very entertaining and captivating. Off course the same may be said about hard rock guitarist Dimitri Coats's master vampire Queeny, who is really creepy. None of the guys from the rock band does a bad job, but after Jessica Paré's Jennifer I would highlight as the second best Chris Ratz's Hugo, a very funny version of Bram Stoker's character Renfield. Seeing Clockwork Orange's Malcolm McDowell as an eyepatch wearing Van Helsing was also great. Soundtrack, as it was supposed to be, is nice. Rob Stefaniuk, who is the film director, the screenplay writer and one of the leading role actors (the leader of the looser band "The Winners"), deserves public appreciation. This is one of the best vampire films I have watched, probably one of my top 10.
12. Vampyr (1932)
Not Rated | 75 min | Fantasy, Horror
A drifter obsessed with the supernatural stumbles upon an inn where a severely ill adolescent girl is slowly becoming a vampire.
Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer | Stars: Julian West, Maurice Schutz, Rena Mandel, Sybille Schmitz
Votes: 20,528
Great atmosphere in this old film. Quite nice fairy filmmaking. Few words (it is a quasi-silent movie), many shadows. Deffinitely, this is not an ordinary film. In my opinion, it is much better than Nosferatu or Dracula.
13. The Hunger (1983)
R | 97 min | Drama, Horror
A love triangle develops between a beautiful yet dangerous vampire (Catherine Deneuve), her cellist companion (David Bowie), and a gerontologist (Susan Sarandon).
Director: Tony Scott | Stars: Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Cliff De Young
Votes: 29,063 | Gross: $5.98M
A vampire thriller beautifully filmed, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon in a love triangle of life and death.
14. Kiss of the Damned (2012)
R | 97 min | Drama, Horror, Romance
A beautiful, lonely vampire falls in love with a screenwriter and transforms him into one of the undead, but their budding romance is threatened by her vivacious, troublemaking sister.
Director: Xan Cassavetes | Stars: Joséphine de La Baume, Ching Valdes-Aran, Milo Ventimiglia, Caitlin Keats
Votes: 5,403 | Gross: $0.01M
While most of the vampires in the film try to control their nature, it is shown as marked by lust, brutality, power, and some weaknesses, just as they it is supposed to be. It is a very nice vampire movie! The scenes of hunt and of biting are great. There is possibly also the best vampirization scene I've ever seen! Very sensual! Characters are well developed and particularly the three main vampiresses are great. The story starts amazingly, perhaps becomes less interesting after the first turning point, but afterwards goes back to its greatest moments. The strength of the vampires may be their weakness, and all of them may face it anytime.
15. Martin (1977)
R | 95 min | Drama, Horror
A young man, who believes himself to be a vampire, goes to live with his elderly and hostile cousin in a Pennsylvania small town where he tries to redeem his blood-craving urges.
Director: George A. Romero | Stars: John Amplas, Lincoln Maazel, Christine Forrest, Elyane Nadeau
Votes: 12,611 | Gross: $0.10M
A very different and psychological vampire movie. Is Martin really a vampire? He and his cousin believe that. And you?
16. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)
R | 123 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
A vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.
Director: Neil Jordan | Stars: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas, Kirsten Dunst
Votes: 347,665 | Gross: $105.26M
A contemporary classic. Are vampires able to love?
17. Once Bitten (1985)
PG-13 | 94 min | Comedy, Horror
A vampire Countess needs to drink the blood of a virgin in order to keep her eternal beauty. It seems that all is hopeless, until she bumps into Mark Kendall.
Director: Howard Storm | Stars: Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, Karen Kopins, Cleavon Little
Votes: 16,830 | Gross: $10.00M
As the movie below, this is an unpretensious and funny teenager movie. Starred by Jim Carrey, the film shows beautiful and mature Lauren Hutton doing a good job in the role of vampiress Countess. It is campy in the precise degree for great laughs.
18. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
PG-13 | 86 min | Action, Comedy, Fantasy
Flighty teenage girl Buffy Summers learns that she is her generation's destined battler of vampires.
Director: Fran Rubel Kuzui | Stars: Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer
Votes: 49,483 | Gross: $16.62M
Unpretentious and funny high school action movie. Very beautiful young Kristy Swanson does a good job playing charismatic and initially futile Buffy. The same can be said about Donald Sutherland in the role of her tutor, Merrick. The film gets campy sometimes, but it is not a flaw. Seeing Hillary Swank in her very first movie playing one of Buffy's best airhead friends is something to be highlighted. The same can be said about having Rutger Hauer as the comic master vampire.
19. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
PG | 107 min | Drama, Horror
Count Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror.
Director: Werner Herzog | Stars: Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani, Bruno Ganz, Roland Topor

A great update for the classic "Nosferatu" from 1922.

Director: Joel Schumacher | Stars: Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes
Votes: 161,276 | Gross: $32.22M
A little bit kitsch (well, it's a film by Joel Schumacher...) but still a good movie. The 1980's undisguised stamp is there. Nice end!
23. Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
R | 123 min | Comedy, Drama, Fantasy
A depressed musician reunites with his lover. However, their romance, which has already endured several centuries, is disrupted by the arrival of her uncontrollable younger sister.

Director: Craig Gillespie | Stars: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant, Toni Collette
Votes: 113,159 | Gross: $18.30M

Director: Tom Holland | Stars: Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, Roddy McDowall
Votes: 78,690 | Gross: $24.92M
A classic from the 80's. Peter Vincent, the vampire hunter, is great.
29. Dracula (1979)
R | 109 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
In 1913, the charming, seductive and sinister vampire Count Dracula travels to England in search of an immortal bride.
Director: John Badham | Stars: Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan
Votes: 11,114 | Gross: $20.16M
A better version of dracula than the ones made afterwards. It deserved to be acknowledged. The opening scene in the boat is excellent.
30. The Vampire Lovers (1970)
R | 91 min | Horror
Seductive vampire Carmilla Karnstein and her family target the beautiful and the rich in a remote area of late eighteenth-century Gemany.
Director: Roy Ward Baker | Stars: Ingrid Pitt, Pippa Steel, Madeline Smith, Peter Cushing
Votes: 7,476
Great vampire flick made by Hammer. It is not cheesy or trash, it is very well done, with appropriate mood and nice costumes and scenario. Though, at least two characters needed more explanation and development: the mother of Marcilla and the dark-haired male vampire.
31. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
R | 128 min | Fantasy, Horror, Romance
The centuries old vampire Count Dracula comes to England to seduce his barrister Jonathan Harker's fiancée Mina Murray and inflict havoc in the foreign land.
Director: Francis Ford Coppola | Stars: Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves
Votes: 238,558 | Gross: $82.52M
The film is good, but fastly moves from excellent moments to ridiculous ones, and then to another fantastic scene, and so forth. There is a heterodox filmmaking, which mixes many different styles alternatively, that works properly. The problem is that while some scenes are visually astounding (like the Brides of Dracula, the powers of the vampire, the women possessions), there are also many ridiculously kitsch ones (why the hell the hemoglobin?! Why showing those Dracula eyes in the sky?).
32. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
PG-13 | 110 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
In an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, science fiction, and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.
Director: Stephen Norrington | Stars: Sean Connery, Stuart Townsend, Peta Wilson, Jason Flemyng
Votes: 184,019 | Gross: $66.47M
If you have one vampire, it's a vampire movie. In this story, Mina Murray has divorced Jonathan Harker, has not been cured of her vampiric curse and now has a crush with another Victorian Age imortal. Nice and underrated film.
33. 30 Days of Night (2007)
R | 113 min | Action, Horror, Thriller
After an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.
Director: David Slade | Stars: Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston, Ben Foster
Votes: 189,506 | Gross: $39.57M
Curiously, vampire movies are usually dramas, comedies/spoof or action/adventures. This is not the case: "30 days of night" is pure horror!
34. The House of the Devil (1896)
Not Rated | 3 min | Short, Horror
With the help of a magic cauldron, Mephistopheles conjures up a variety of supernatural characters.
Director: Georges Méliès | Stars: Jehanne d'Alcy, Jules-Eugène Legris, Georges Méliès
Votes: 3,988
This short film by brilliant Georges Méliès is the oldest of this list. The tricky devil-vampire Mephistopheles transforms himself in a bat, he is able to make creatures appear or disappear, and he hates the crucifix.

Director: Anna Foerster | Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Theo James, Tobias Menzies, Lara Pulver
Votes: 81,054 | Gross: $30.35M
Perhaps this is the best film from Underworld franchise, full of plot twists besides the good action we are accustomed to and the nice new characters.
38. Underworld: Awakening (2012)
R | 88 min | Action, Fantasy, Thriller
When human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrior Selene leads the battle against humankind.
Directors: Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein | Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Stephen Rea
Votes: 161,272 | Gross: $62.32M
Until I watched "Blood Wars" I considered "Awakening" as the best film from the franchise. The "Purge" beginning is very nice. Indeed, if that environment had been kept until the film finished, it would be one of the best vampire movies ever. Kate Beckinsale shines (if it is possible to say that about a vampire!) once again in the charismatic leading role. I liked to see "Tywin Lannister" Charles Dance with vampire teeth too. India Eisley, the girl, also does a good job and has some creepy quasi-"The Exorcist" moments. The first part of the movie is by far the best. Unfortunately, it looses most of its dramatic impact afterwards, becoming a conventional action thriller. Though, it is still an entertaining flick until the end. Selenes's final fight is great.

Nice and underrated flick, a mix of a comedy and a thriller. There are some nice characters even in minor roles, but I shall highlight Guillaume Canet as the funny and opportunist party crasher and fast talker, Gérard Lanvin as his crook scoundrel adult-entrepreneur friend Étienne, and Asia Argento as the creepy and sexy vamp.
42. Metamorphosis (I) (2007)

Votes: 1,412
IMDB users' rating is very unfair! Although this is a low-budget film with some problems you may expect (special effects, some bad actors), the story entertains. Christopher Lambert does a great job portraying a very convincing vampire, Constantine Thurzo, who has some inspired quotes! Scenario sometimes is too artificial, particularly in open places, but at other times it fits well a Hammer-style horror mood. The films becomes better after the victim kids enter the castle and the horror begins. The very end is funny. This is not amazing film but surprises positively.
43. Alguien mató algo (1999)

Director: Len Wiseman | Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Shane Brolly, Michael Sheen
Votes: 285,285 | Gross: $51.97M
A nice action movie. Kate Beckinsale's Selene is a charismatic character. Bill Nighy's Viktor is also very convincing (he would be an excellent Count Dracula in a more traditional vampire movie).
49. Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974)
R | 91 min | Adventure, Horror, Mystery
A master swordsman and former soldier and his hunchbacked assistant hunt vampires.
Director: Brian Clemens | Stars: Horst Janson, John Carson, Shane Briant, Caroline Munro
Votes: 5,695 | Gross: $0.12M
The film is one of the best made by Hammer, for sure. Although less "natural" than it would be the ideal, it has a nice environment, interesting scenes, good ebough characters. It is a different kind of vampire, as it is explained that there are many different kinds. A swashbuckler (fight scenes could have better choreographies; instead, very little is shown) and a hunchback will challenge them!
50. Queen of the Damned (2002)
R | 101 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
In this loose sequel to Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), the vampire Lestat becomes a rock star whose music wakes up the equally beautiful and monstrous queen of all vampires.
Director: Michael Rymer | Stars: Aaliyah, Stuart Townsend, Marguerite Moreau, Vincent Perez
Votes: 59,986 | Gross: $30.34M
Due to the negative critics and to the bad IMDB rating, I expected an awful film. It is not. Not brilliant, but not bad either. I don't know how much the original story has been distorted, but it worked. Furthermore, Stuart Townsend did a good job in the role of Lestat.
51. Daughters of Darkness (1971)

The film is much better than people may expect, although there are some serious drawbacks: all the deaths are badly filmed and edition is quite cheesy sometimes. Anyway, the characters are interesting and appropriate.
52. Underworld: Evolution (2006)
R | 106 min | Action, Fantasy, Thriller
Picking up directly from the previous movie, vampire warrior Selene and the half werewolf Michael hunt for clues to reveal the history of their races and the war between them.
Director: Len Wiseman | Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Bill Nighy, Tony Curran
Votes: 209,289 | Gross: $62.32M
You can expect good action, with some interesting characters and a sometimes confusing story. Kate Beckinsale does a good job in this sequel again. She is as charming as in all other films from the franchise, but here she is sexier than ever. There are many scenes with an erotic flavor, pure eye candies. I also like the lycans and the hybrid forms, visually interesting, particularly Marcus's. I just did not like the cheesy way chosen to show flashbacks.

I have not watched all the film, only different parts of it. My provisory opinion is that this is the best one of the franchise. The vampires seem to be more interesting than the other ones. Probably, the director made the difference.

A cute film for children. The dog is a vampire (as you have noticed by reading the title!) and, as a pet from Transylvania, it has problems with sunlight, is gifted with superstrenght and superspeed, and speaks. Though, (bizarrely) it does not drink blood, but eat red jelly. Well, it's for children...

I simply cannot understand why critics are so fierce against this movie. Off course it is not outstanding and, full of clichés, has some quite silly dialogues, but there are so many awful vampire films, so much worse than "BloodRayne"... What I see is that the same problems are very often forgiven in some movies and condemned in others, but that is not fair. I do not know the game that inspired the movie, but it seems that Rayne is much less powerful in the film than the character originally was. Though, that is a problem only for the hard videogame fans, not for someone who is just watching a vampire film, not expecting to have the game transported to the movies. Indeed, perhaps if Rayne were able to jump hundreds of meters the film would be worse! I consider "BloodRayne" was bloody enough, with some nice scenes, and its plot, although far from good, is not below the average for a vampire film either.

Very nice bloody Brazilian independent horror film. It comes from a region in the country (Espírito Santo state) which does not use to produce movies. It is very well filmed, in spite of the low budget. The traditional family struggle is interesting, there are some nice dialogs, and acting is far from brilliant but is not bad either. I also liked the Chupacabras ("goat-sucker"), the vampire-like monster that drinks the blood of animals... and of humans. The old sack man ("velho do saco") is even creepier, extremely disturbing, and could have been better used in the story. Besides him, my favorite characters are the two mothers and the Silva father. If there were not the exploitation footage full of spouting blood and green vomiting, the film would have been even better. The unrealistic reaction of many characters, particularly in Carvalho family, to the dire slaughtering is another drawback that I shall mention.

The third segment is about a "vampire". This original episode is from 1972 and there is an almost identical remake from 1974, in which the daughter is Florinda Meza instead of María Antonieta de las Nieves, the father is Edgar Vivar instead of Ramón Valdés, and the vampire is Rubén Aguirre instead of Ricardo de Pascual. There is no reason to rate both versions differently. I watched the former in the Portuguese dubbed version and the remake in the original Spanish version.

The films begins seeming quite amateur and that annoys. It is ridiculous that Nina does not become seriously harmed after the violent pushes the vampire makes against her a couple of times. Though, the relation between both characters involves the spectator and she/he gets accostumed to it, being entertained. That does not mean that actors do a fantastic job. Charlie Spradling is very sexy and charming, but not a brilliant actress. Scott Valentine is worse than her, but after irritating a little in the beginning, this mix of naive and irrscible behavior of his character becomes nicer too. To resume, in spite of the significant drawbacks, the average outcome is OK.

This creepy version of wacky races is a strange film in Scooby-Doo tradition. Not only the monsters are real (that is why the movie is in this list, off course: Count Dracula is the leader of all monsters in Transylvania), but also Shaggy is weirdly gallant: car racing champions and has a very beautiful girlfriend. The rest of the crew is not there either: just Scooby, Shaggy, Scooby-Loo and the foxy love affair. Instead of classic Mistery Machine, they have a red sports car.

Not a good film, but not awful either. In the beginning, it seems to be worse (the high school silly stuff helps to give that impression), but after some time I understood that it was not meaningless as the screenplay initially looked like. The approach is in between the blood-sucking vampire tradition and the "vamp" femme fatale. The latter was quite common in early depictions of vampires in the movies, very different from the supernatural undead that we use to understand as that evil creature. In spite of having many flaws (like the ridiculous and unrealistic reaction of the people to the murders and burning), this film has been able to merge the two traditions in vampire film history, what is quite interesting. OK... I cannot help but mention the kiss scene is also very interesting...

Not very funny, unfortunately. At least it has the merit of following closely the book in spite of being a spoof.

The movie is visually very interesting, but the idealization of Abraham Lincoln is ridiculous (why not just create a new character who had his mother murdered by a vampire and therefore began a revenge against the bloodsckers?) and the story and the text are not good. Some visual effects are a bit kitsch but the vampires are well done. The excess of slow motion is a plague of Hollywood... The stupid idea of puting Lincoln as a vampire hunter is satyrized in the short "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Sequels" above.

This film is a conventional and very violent action and sci-fi film, far from the darkess of the best films of the vampire genre, but also better than most of the action movies about the blood-suckers. The visual effects often suck (sorry for the pun). The villains are neither frightning nor interesting or charming. It is not epic or impressive to allow vampires stay under sunlight because they're wearing full biker suit with helmet covering all their body or are applying sunscreen. This film from 1998 is much better than Blade III, but worse than Blade II.

If it were simply a short film it would be "meh", but, taking into account that this is a music video of a Southern Brazilian "post-punk" or "punk-polka" psychobilly band, it is a nice and well done one. There are vampires on the streets of Porto Alegre town and they are on the prowl at night, for sure. That is just the time when underground people go out and have a good time in the concert of their beloved band. In spite of their dark outfit - at least for the two guys as I cannot consider as dark a sexy batgirl suit - the Damn Laser Vampires trio are on the good side, performing macabre but sacred rituals in order to restrain vampirization, and also kicking bloodsuckers' asses when it is necessary. Biting necks? That is OK... but not in their concert! New Zealander horror films director David Blyth was able to transmit an adequate athmosphere and, that is very important to say, so did the music, which is good! Trivia: the first album of the batgirl's band was called "Gotham Beggars Syndicate". Watch it here: https://youtu.be/nCCm0RLKnms

It is neither a great short film, nor a bad one. There is nothing terribly made in it, but the story is not special, and acting could be better.

I just watched the first 20 minutes, but I can already say: Interesting Mexican vampire movie.
