That's because in the 2000s CGI became affordable for most movie studios and kept getting cheaper to the point that you can spend a week with a group of film student actors and then get some nerd with a laptop to create the whole movie with Adobe. It's gotten to the point that it's easier for them to use CGI blood instead of the blood squibs and everything ends up looking fake. The 90s was also when we started getting more dark and edgy everything, and everyone got a little more sarcastic so that only increases the dissonance. I cant remember if it was Christopher Lee in Star Wars or if it was Ian McKellan in The Hobbit, but one of those 2 supposedly broke down crying on set because of all the green screen everything to the point that he felt more like a prop then an actor.
If I may suggest a few that I really like Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (technically the second but it's so far disconnected from the first that you don't need to see the first) Near Dark from 1987 also Byzantium but I wasn't a huge fan in the sense that it was like the film here...however I will say it's a decent flick. It has a pretty cool waterfall scene where the water turns to blood and it's all practical effects.
I remember I was 6years old that time when I'm watching this on my cousin's house. I was so scared and it keep on my mind until I became adult. I don't know the title but I still remember some movie scenes. Now I'm already 28 years old, thanks to RUclips, after typing list of iconic vampires movie of all time, I found this movie again 😁
Same!! i watched this when I was 8 and it scarred me. I just recently remembered this out of nowhere and so I went to search it up. I found it by searching “vampire movies” and looking through each of them to see if I remembered anything. Ultimately the reason I figured this out was because of that party scene where the master vampire comes back. And when he cuts the dude by the door in half. That was the scene that scared me so long ago
"Forget whatever you've seen in the movies about vampires (except the fangs, blood-drinking, sunlight, crosses, and Master vampires having a psychic connection with their victims)."
Dusk Till Dawn is way too silly, IMHO. Try "Near Dark," a sort of unusual late-80s piece which does away with all the "sexy" vampire trappings and magic powers, giving it a greater sense of day-to-day realism. If you're an Aliens fan, you'll also enjoy seeing three of the main cast from that movie: Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Jeanette Goldstein (Vasquez).
Yeah and they even made trailers so much better back in the day! Not the best work from John Carpenter but good movie overall! NOTHING beats The Thing (1982), my favourite movie of all time
John Carpenter's Vampires is a great movie and yeah it was a 90s trailer. Fortunately...the 80s and 90s were the best. Trailers these days suck a greyhound's musty ass.
This looks like a better Lost Boys sequel than the actual Lost Boys sequels... Though Edgar's final kill in 3 was literally one of the coolest things ever even if the movie was weak.
We were all deprived of a great talent when Hollywood blacklisted James Woods for his WrongThink. All that forced diversity of things that shouldn't matter, like race, gender and sexuality, but absolutely no diversity of thought - the most important kind of diversity.

"The Master" looks like they originally wanted him to be played by Marilyn Manson but couldnt get him, so they took someone who looked vaguely similar and dressed him up in their best Marilyn Manson costume.
I remember watching this with my mom and dad at the theater I thought one of the coolest Vampire movies since Lost Boys and just love that Marlyin Manson beautiful people remix
25 years old! I remember watching it on tv on the Sci-Fi Channel way back I was rather intrigued considering it was by one of the great horror directors John Carpenter who did 'Halloween' (1978) and 'The Thing' (1982) Never would've expected him to take a supernatural approach to the undead creatures of the night It's also based on the book by John Steakley A cool cast from James Woods to Daniel Baldwin to Thomas Ian Griffith The film is less than perfect and the treatment of women hasn't aged so well but it gets by with Woods' unique charm, some fun action set pieces, and great gore Yeah he's despicable throughout but does what he can to get the job done with an ultra macho cowboy visage he becomes somewhat of a satire Valek makes for a pretty cool villain being the toughest foe Jack has ever encountered The church urges him to stand down since he's outmatched Carpenter treats this as more of a B-Western than a straight up horror film, there's more emphasis on the thrill of the hunt He also does the score for this one like many in the past The setting of the desert is cleverly utilized being that vampires don't have many dark places to hide in the daylight unless if its a cave miles away or sleeping under the dirt The screenplay by Don Jakoby makes the movie stand out being one of the early films to have a full organization to hunt down supernatural creatures It also has the advantage creating a whole mythology for vampires and their origins tying to the Holy Church 'Blade' having come out only a few months before is far superior in many respects and ultimately that made this movie fall behind in terms of box office success But that doesn't mean Carpenter's film shouldn't be overlooked since it is still so entertaining and cool to watch He bends the genre itself and this managed to find a bigger success on home video
This is a pretty good movie, it’s more of an action film than a horror movie but it’s labeled as horror because it has vampires in the movie. This movie stars James Woods I’m pretty sure this is the only movie I’ve seen him in so far I could be wrong though. The acting is great in this movie James Woods who plays Jack Crow The hero and Vampire slayer is fantastic and so is Thomas Ian Griffith who plays Jan Valek the master vampire the main villain. Their take on vampires is pretty cool I’m not going to give a lot away but it’s cool. John Carpenter is an awesome director. The story is great the movie is about a Vampire hunter James Woods who hunts down vampires and is looking for the original vampire Thomas Ian Griffith and put a stop to his terror and creating more vampires but Valek is trying to find this cross so he can do a ritual so he can walk in the day and it’s up to Jack to stop him he is accompanied by Anthony Montoya(Daniel Baldwin) his friend, Katrina (Sheryl Lee)a woman bitten by Valek who has a psychic link to him and Jack uses her to find Valek and Father Adam Guiteau who was sent by the church Jack works for to help Jack out. So can Jack stop Valek before it’s too late well you’ll have to watch this movie to find out? The acting, story, directing and special effects are awesome. If you have not seen this movie then I recommend you do rating 5/5
@@menachemthornton6579 it barely made its budget back at the box office. and it only became a cult classic because of internet discussion. that is underrated buddy.
Oh my yes! Been looking for this for ages. Didn't know the name, or the year or anything, only that it had a priest and a pair of hunters in it. I liked the relationship between the priest and the other hunter, was the only thing that really stuck to mind. Well, that and the vampire leader. He was cooool.
@@adamleddy9894 i don't know if you're being sarcastic but in case you aren't i'm happy to inform you that i already started it and though the plot and characters seem a bit different than in the movie it's easy to read and interesting. Thanks for the suggestion anyway xp
ysBecca Whats that movie called? Dammit it’s on the tip of my tongue.. it’s about VAMPIRES.. man I wish I could remember what that movie was called.. it was in the 90’s.. and it’s about......
Omg i was really having hard time looking for its title and i just typed "vampire bites the leg of the girl and she turns vampire" and youtube showed me John Carpenter's Vampire lol this is my fave movie... i kept searching "the dawn" cuz i thought the title it is but because i knew the title was not too long and such easy to remember but i don't really remember that it was "vampire"
i don't remember if it's in the movie, but there is a part in the book were one of the priest says that werewolves are real and the hunters are just "nope, don't want to know".
I use to make my dad put this movie on for me as a kid😅 I couldn't think of the name of the movie & years later finally found it😂 Most simple title ever😂
I remember before the movie came out the Catholic church was condemning this movie because of the scene where James Woods stops the truck and beats up on the priest.
i find it troubling that so many people have wanted to see this movie for so long but couldn't find it because they didn't know what it was called. It is a movie about vampires. Wouldn't you start your incredibly difficult search by typing the one word you know about the film...."VAMPIRES"and then if you still have the energy, type the word" movie"
I've dead ass tried to find this movie for years. I remember it as a kid being scary af. This movie interview with a vampire and 30 days of night stand out for me
This movie was full of cheese, but still fun. A far cry from Carpenters prime when he did Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, and Escape From New York, but I'll be damned if this didn’t have some great moments.
Most underrated vampire movie of all time
Late 60's, 70s,80s, early 90s it will never be the same
That's because in the 2000s CGI became affordable for most movie studios and kept getting cheaper to the point that you can spend a week with a group of film student actors and then get some nerd with a laptop to create the whole movie with Adobe. It's gotten to the point that it's easier for them to use CGI blood instead of the blood squibs and everything ends up looking fake.

@@arthas640 that's heartbreaking
@@arthas640 Liam Neeson quit acting for a while because of green screens. Star wars killed a lot of passion for those actors in them.
If you were white.
true..but not 70s
Thomas Ian Griffith is definitely the biggest & most imposing vampire I've seen in a movie. He was perfectly cast for this
He was great but in my opinion Chris serandon in fright night is untouched
@@RedRider763 - I agree. Overall Sarandon was definitely the best, but Griffith was much bigger which makes him a bit more imposing
@@bifftannen1598 i agree serandon was a vampire I'd be like we could be best friends Griffin was a vampire I wouldn't wanna meet
😊😊😊😅yea agreed 💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿bifftannen.1598
"The real pain begins now Dan...."Butthead!
I watched this a few months back and I must say this is one of the best movies. James wood nailed the acting in this one.
One of the best vampire movies ever made
James Woods is fantastic .... and this is such an underrated movie
Wonder how he researched this role ?
We are in 2020 and I still did not watch better Vampire movie.
Facts
If I may suggest a few that I really like
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (technically the second but it's so far disconnected from the first that you don't need to see the first)
Near Dark from 1987
also Byzantium but I wasn't a huge fan in the sense that it was like the film here...however I will say it's a decent flick. It has a pretty cool waterfall scene where the water turns to blood and it's all practical effects.
You ever try Dusk Til Dawn
The original Salem’s Lot is pretty great!
The Things We Do In The Shadow?

"Forget whatever you've seen in the movies about vampires (except the fangs, blood-drinking, sunlight, crosses, and Master vampires having a psychic connection with their victims)."
"Vampires"(1998) is a good enough cult horror movie!
One of my favorite movies as a kid
Blade meets From Dusk Till Dawn. This is one of those R rated movies that almost feels like it was aimed towards young teens.
Vampires and from dusk till dawn , the best 2 vampires movies ever made
Lost boys.....?
Blade one too.
Dusk Till Dawn is way too silly, IMHO. Try "Near Dark," a sort of unusual late-80s piece which does away with all the "sexy" vampire trappings and magic powers, giving it a greater sense of day-to-day realism.

I love seeing Terry Silver in this 😍

Man after all these years I finally found this movie I’ve only seen it 1 time I can’t wait to go to wallmart after work to buy the physical copy
the sequel with Bon Jovi is not bad either
We were all deprived of a great talent when Hollywood blacklisted James Woods for his WrongThink.

This and Near Dark are the best Vampire movies ever made.
I REMEMBER THIS. WE HAD THIS OK VHS AND NOW ITS ON NETFLIX
"The Master" looks like they originally wanted him to be played by Marilyn Manson but couldnt get him, so they took someone who looked vaguely similar and dressed him up in their best Marilyn Manson costume.
They used Thomas Ian Griffith. Great actor. He played Terry Silver in Karate Kid III.
Good choice
how dare you!!!! lol
he is wayyyy better looking and creepier than Manson at the same time
This is up there with Bella’s original Dracula, from dusk till dawn. Interview and the 90s one with Tom waits. Best of all time vampire movies.
Used to watch this with my big brother on vhs back in the 90s. Literally havent seen this movie since.
I haven't seen this movie since like 2005, I rented it from the Library. Loved it since, made me want to be a Vampiress.
Ruby 😘
I know a place
Movies just aren’t made like this anymore the 80s 90s and early 2000s made the best movies
Most underrated movie of all time for me. Nothing i have seen has deadlier vampires than this one has. The quintessential vampire movie.
The strain actually did a really good job with vampires. Ignore the hate it’s as good as any of them. Especially the first season.
This and 30 days of night!
Check out "Near Dark"
@@retrokingdomgamesandarts1998 I was coming on here to comment ‘30 days of night’ but you beat me to it. Top ten vampire film of all time
I agree 100%
I remember watching this with my mom and dad at the theater I thought one of the coolest Vampire movies since Lost Boys and just love that Marlyin Manson beautiful people remix
Just notices James Wood’s infamous signature denim jean is “Wrangler” or “Gloria Vanderbilt’s”? 😂
Man i miss the old school vampire movies
25 years old!
I remember watching it on tv on the Sci-Fi Channel way back
I was rather intrigued considering it was by one of the great horror directors John Carpenter who did 'Halloween' (1978) and 'The Thing' (1982)
Never would've expected him to take a supernatural approach to the undead creatures of the night
It's also based on the book by John Steakley
A cool cast from James Woods to Daniel Baldwin to Thomas Ian Griffith
The film is less than perfect and the treatment of women hasn't aged so well but it gets by with Woods' unique charm, some fun action set pieces, and great gore
Yeah he's despicable throughout but does what he can to get the job done with an ultra macho cowboy visage he becomes somewhat of a satire
Valek makes for a pretty cool villain being the toughest foe Jack has ever encountered
The church urges him to stand down since he's outmatched
Carpenter treats this as more of a B-Western than a straight up horror film, there's more emphasis on the thrill of the hunt
He also does the score for this one like many in the past
The setting of the desert is cleverly utilized being that vampires don't have many dark places to hide in the daylight unless if its a cave miles away or sleeping under the dirt
The screenplay by Don Jakoby makes the movie stand out being one of the early films to have a full organization to hunt down supernatural creatures
It also has the advantage creating a whole mythology for vampires and their origins tying to the Holy Church
'Blade' having come out only a few months before is far superior in many respects and ultimately that made this movie fall behind in terms of box office success
But that doesn't mean Carpenter's film shouldn't be overlooked since it is still so entertaining and cool to watch
He bends the genre itself and this managed to find a bigger success on home video
This is a pretty good movie, it’s more of an action film than a horror movie but it’s labeled as horror because it has vampires in the movie.

Came out same year the first Wesley snipes Blade came out. Different sort of movie. Almost comical in bits. Absolute cult classic.
THE BEST !!!
Read the book, people! It's better, mostly because of a much wider setting.
I read the book for a personal reading project in High school and loved it. So much better.
