Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Heartfelt adaptation of the gothic horror masterpiece, directed with great flair by The Godfather helmer Francis Ford Coppola, about an immortal Transylvanian count who falls in love with a woman who resembles his long-dead wife. Enlivened by a topnotch cast that includes Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins, the film's real stars are the sumptuous cinematography and production design, which are truly a sight to behold. Not quite in the same league with Hammer's Horror of Dracula, but why quibble? With Cary Elwes, Tom Waits and Monica Bellucci.
John Carpenter Presents Vampires: Los Muertos (2002)
First, a little Horror 101. Director John Carpenter is perhaps best known for helming the original Halloween and the remake of The Thing. In 1998, Carpenter directed Vampires, a Western-horror film starring James Woods as the leader of a group of vampire hunters operating South of the Border. Vampires: Los Muertos is a sequel of sorts, with Carpenter assuming the producer's chair. In this story, a new group of slayersÑheaded by Jon Bon JoviÑattempts to stop vampires from obtaining a cross that will give them the power to walk in broad daylight. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, who made the completely insane Halloween III: Season of the Witch. With Natasha Gregson Wagner.
The Thirst (2008)
A hippie college student named Will finds himself in the middle of a battle between vampires and a group of warlocks called Sentries. But when he's bitten by a seductive vampire he's forced to come to terms with his new state of being. Directed by Tom Shell.
Dead Mary (2007)
A group of college friends gather at a remote cabin to talk about old times, only to end up resurrecting an evil spirit known as Dead Mary. Before long, each of the friends is possessed by the spirit, triggering all sorts of horrific mayhem. Character-driven riff on The Thing, minus the Arctic setting, eschews cheap shocks in favor of a genuinely tense atmosphere. The film was originally titled "Bloody Mary" (like the slumber party ghost game), but rights problems necessitated a title change, something winked at by the characters in the movie. Directed by Robert Wilson.
