How are you defining Modern (Salem's Lot is nearly 30years old)?

I liked some of the Species series after number 2.

Romero's Martin

Vampire in Venice is good (as in the Nosferatu remake)

The Jose Larraz film Vampyres

Frightnight

Shadow of the Vampire had a great twist on Nosferatu.

If u dig naked space vampires then Lifeforce is recommended.

Alot of ppl liked Nightwatch (i wasn't mad about it)

Monster squad has Dracula in it.

Sundown: The Vampire In Retreat isn't bad at all (cheesey fun)

Thirst (the Ozzie flick)

i could not help but include Salem's Lot since it was the first vampire movie that scared me, but i am leaning for some more current releases. My bad. Thanks for the list, i'll have ta check them out.

Since the late 90's, the only ones I've liked are:
Let the Right One In (loved it...an instant classic)
Habit (ultra grim Larry Fessenden film, in the vein of Romero's Martin)
Shadow of the Vampire (highly recommended, especially for Nosferatu fans)
Frostbitten (decent Swedish vampire flick......)
30 Days of Night (extremely flawed, but it has it's definite charms)
Dracula: Pages from a Virgins Diary (Guy Madden....Dracula ballet, you'll either love it or hate it)

Overall, the Vampire genre has stunk the past decade or so (unless you love
the action film versions (Underworld, Blade) or the Teen romance versions
(Twilight..etc).........

Anybody here like the Addiction? I haven't seen it, but I love Abel Ferrara.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but I enjoyed the Blood Rayne films.

it was ok, preferred nadja

Yeah, Nadja's really cool.

Dang......off to imdb to check up on Nadja and Addiction.
Are the buys or rentals?

The Addiction is quite different from other Ferrara films, imo. A slow, introspective, sometimes violent case study in addictive behavior using vampirism as a metaphor.
