Five Vampire Films That Are Better Than "Twilight"

In light of the recent (and ridiculous) Twilight-mania I've decided to compile a list of vampire flicks that are-- and always will be-- a thousand times better than Twilight. So, my little pointy-toothed fanatics, enjoy and be educated.

1.) From Dusk Til' Dawn
Starring: Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo
Why It's Better Than Twilight: Well, first off, if you read the cast then you'd know that it's got to be amazing. Second, it's directed by the wonderful Robert Rodriguez. Third, it takes place in Mexico-- which is typically an unusual place for vampires to roam.

2.) Let The Right One In
Starring: Kare Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson
Why It's Better Than Twilight: Instead of being your typical "romantic" vampire tale, this film chooses to make it's main protagonists children. A little boy named Oskar falls in love with a vampire girl named Eli in 1982 Stockholm. Mixing the theme of "young, innocent love" with the idea of a creature that is wholly damned is a pretty unique idea.

3.) Interview With A Vampire
Starring: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas
Why It's Better Than Twilight: Well...c'mon...it's Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise...it's definitely going to be better than anything Twilight does. Sorry Robert Pattinson, but you are no early-90's Brad Pitt and you never will be.

4.) Nosferatu: Eins Symphonie Des Grauens
Starring: Max Schreck, Gustav Von Wangenheim, Greta Schroder, G.H. Schnell
Why It's Better Than Twilight: It is the original vampire film. Max Schreck's acting is beyond method... it's just downright terrifying. Some people even think that Schreck was really a vampire himself, and that's why his portrayal of Count Orlock was so realistic. Makes for good cinema, huh?

5.) Blade II
Starring: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, Norman Reedus
Why It's Better Than Twilight: Action, action, action. That's all that can be said. The fight scenes in this film are absolutely beautiful, and so well-crafted. But hey, what do you expect from the uber-great director Guillermo del Toro?

So there you have it. Five films that are always going to be better than that drivel Twilight. So suck on that, Stephanie Meyer!
