Really hope that Neill Blomkamp adaptation of Blindsight eventually goes ahead. It's not even really a vampire story given the sole vampire in it is only a side character.
Hahaha, no fricking way would Hollywood do something like that any justice at all. My bet is that if it ever gets a movie, they'll drop the vampire thing entirely.
I'd be fine with it if they managed to make a good one. What was the last good Dracula movie? One of Hammer's? What was the last good vampire movie in general, even?
Let the Right One In or Daybreakers
Last good Dracula movie was Dracula Untold
Pretty much Twilight ruined vampires and Dracula is now ruined too.
Dracula who began in the silent era with Nosferatu and has a 100 year legacy in cinema.
>Daybreakers
Oh yeah, I forgot about that movie. Pretty stupid fun. My favorite part was when the vampires drove off a bridge into a broken railway, which perfectly staked them both and then the car exploded. They didn't mention that vampires explode when staked until later, so I thought the car just did that.
yea I'd like to see Dracula as the leader of an ancient vampire society kind of like Blade or Interview. not just some goul that comes out in the night.
>Frankenstein but with darkies >Invisible Man but with darkies >Creature from the Black Lagoon, but with darkies >Mummy, but with darkies >Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but with darkies
It's not so much a Dracula problem as it is a gothic horror monster problem. The only one I see people sort of give a shit is Gill-Man because he's so different.
Look at this sorry ass graphic. Universal was too cheap to have a Lugosi version because they lost the case against Bela Jr so they keep using Carlos Villarias.
>black doctor has time in between horrifying nights where a monster hunts them and eat them to tell the survivors that the real monster of society is racism
is just so tiresome
They should have just went the full mile and put a israelite in there to kvetch about antisemitism too, but I guess since the vampire was sucking everyone's blood in the movie, two israelites would have been overkill
Browning's is as good a place to start as any. Murnau's Nosferatu is also a classic, but Count Orlok isn't recognizable as Count Dracula in terms of character at all. All adaptations have taken some major creative liberties, some fine, some not.

The 79 version is actually quite good. My only problem is that whilst Frank Langella is a good actor, someone else could have been a more memorable Dracula.
This singlehandedly ruined every classic monster in one movie. Turned Hyde into a bloated cgi mess. Turned the Wolfman into a b***h. Turned Frankenstein into a homosexual. Turned Dracula into a whiny ponce.
Well it's the only movie that had these four in one movie. I think it lacks something but it has a few wins as well >realy good creature design especially Frankenstein Monster and the Wolf-Man >it's not a mundane world but a fittingly dark fantasy setting >it has its own aesthetics, technology, rules, all things that make a good fictional universe >it's cool that it had its own cartoon
This is the way to make crossover movies. They can even make into a short series to show all the different settings. But I'm glad Gill-Man was cut because in crossovers like Monster Squad Gill-Man is a brute monster and nothing else and he's more like Frankenstein Monster if anything.
Hollywood execs must have been trying to manifest vampires in this world.
jews also enjoy blood sacrifice
yeah...I don't think Dracula is the reason these movies suck
Could a Blindsight adaptation work?
Really hope that Neill Blomkamp adaptation of Blindsight eventually goes ahead. It's not even really a vampire story given the sole vampire in it is only a side character.
>Blomkamp
the guy who make Chappie and Gran Turismo? sure
>Neill Blomkamp
Hes a fluke director who should be supervising effects.

>What was the last good vampire movie in general, even?
Ironically, 30 Days of Night
I keep meaning to watch that.
It's worth a watch.
It better be fricking good after all the cult praise I've heard for years.

That would be Anne Rice
Without Anne Rice, we wouldn't have cute vampire e-girls. Absolutely nothing good came from Twilight
>Anne Rice is good because I am a pedophile.
Bold declaration.
Why's that ironic? Is it some kind of "deconstruction" or something? I haven't seen it yet.
Vampires (1998) and Blade (1998)
The most recent vampire movie I ever saw that I actually enjoyed was Let the Right One In and that was well over a decade ago
Daybreakers.
Imagine if instead of these shitty films they would make a 3 hours long modern adaptation of Dracula? Like Coppola film but done right.
yea I'd like to see Dracula as the leader of an ancient vampire society kind of like Blade or Interview. not just some goul that comes out in the night.
I'd watch it but I'm too poor and an said it a black protagonist and thewhite people die, that's racist.

Vampires aren’t scary.
>Agh! It’s a guy with sharp teeth!!!
The new Salem’s Lot movie is gonna crash and burn
Movies aren't scary.
Oh frick they're remaking that too?
>Agh! It’s a guy with sharp teeth!!!
Vampires are just exaggerated israelites
Sirs
Good Evening
He will redeem bloody basterd for she
>POCs
>power rangers-tier CGI

woah

>as it is a gothic horror monster problem.
Why not try and make them scary?
People say Demeter isn't scary but it looked like it could be and people weren't even interested to check it out.
Gothic Horror isn’t scary.
The only reason it was huge 100 years ago was because nobody had anything to compare it to.
FFS people panicked and left movie theaters watching a 30 second clip of a train arriving
Nnnnnnnosferatu!
Bless israelite.
all you had to do was make a Dracula movie where the trailer doesn't show diversity hires every 5 seconds and I would have bought a ticket.
>Dracula?
I guess vampires... SSSUCK! Ahahahaha!
CARLOS!

No, just please make a good one.
These were all intentionally bad propaganda pieces.
have a nice day.
>our Black person israelite feminist propaganda piece failed!!!!
>must be the genre!
This is the fate of all 19th century english horror
Made into trash shows by people who hate the source material only to be forgotten about in a week?
Replace place shows with a more general term like media, but yes.
which one is the cat?
It was a good idea, having a more monstrous Dracula but execution as usual wasn't good.
>There are other monsters ffs!
Like the fascist dictator Donald Trump.
Why even bother. Dracula 92 is perfect.
>Dracula 92 is perfect
The love story angle is terrible.
The only vampire movie that should have black actors in it in Blacula.
Or a Fledgling adaptation by Octavia Butler
Why did Coppola cast Keanu in this otherwise perfect film
>otherwise perfect
As bad as Keanu is, I don't even think he's the worst part of the movie.
Its like a parody of the novel. I dont know why Mel Brooks made his version when Coppolas was already over the top enough.
What's a good Dracula movie? I've only seen Van Helsing starring Wolverine and it wasn't even funny. Well the boobs were alright.

>undead monster is killing crew members left and right
>YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT RACISM
But sure, it's Dracula.
This was the best Dracula/Frankenstein/Werewolf/Jekyll and Hyde movie.
This singlehandedly ruined every classic monster in one movie. Turned Hyde into a bloated cgi mess. Turned the Wolfman into a b***h. Turned Frankenstein into a homosexual. Turned Dracula into a whiny ponce.
I know I saw this in theaters as a kid, but my only recollection is being bored and my father not liking it either.

>it had its own cartoon
really?!
It's a short film.
This movie could do with about 40 minutes shaved off the runtime.
I really liked the designs
I liked renfield.
