A bit of horror history
November 21st, 2008 at 10:39am Will Pfeifer
NEW YORK TIMES movie critic Manohla Dargis narrates this visual history of vampire movies. I’m glad she mentions Francis Ford Coppola’s BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA. The accents are a tad hinky (Winona? Keanu?) but visually speaking, this movie is a true feast.
 As for TWILIGHT? She says Edward is “a vampire for the girls who love the Jonas Brothers.”

No mention of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN? That’s the one I’m planning to see.

Yeah, I’ve heard some talk about that movie and it sounds like a great vampire film. I’m sure it won’t get nearly as big a release as TWILIGHT, though.
Personally, I was disappointed she didn’t mention two of my favorites, MARTIN and NEAR DARK.
