No, I haven't seen "Vampires" yet; waiting for it to come to the discount
theater. Honestly, I've seen so many vampire movies, a little burnt out.
"Near Dark" mentioned in this thread I saw years ago and found it enjoyable; definitely worthing renting the video. "Fright Night", which
is a vampire spoof, is also worth renting, an excellent little film, Roddy
McDowell gives a great performance as the vampire killer and Chris Sarandon
as the vampire is very good too. It's sequel is OK, but not as good.
Saw bits and pieces of "Interview With The Vampire" on video, very disinterested; I'd read Anne Rice's novel of the same title and admit
it was the best book I've ever read on vampires. She complained about
Tom Cruise being Lestat; wanted someone like Jeremy Irons. FWIW, I consider the 1958 Hammer Films Production, "The Horror Of Dracula", starring Christopher Lee as The Count, and Peter Cushing, as Van Helsing,
the best vampire film of alltime; IMO those two actors are tops in their
respective roles. I saw it as a kid and it remains vivid in memory. For
more info on the film, consult Internet Database site (imdb); lots of
favorable reviews. Coppola's 1992 "Dracula" is decent, Gary Oldman gives
an interesting, if somewhat unorthodox twist on the role of the Count;
Winona Ryder delivers a solid performance as does Anthony Hopkins as
Van Helsing. Strong romantic element in the film. Available on video.- AudioHead
