^Of recent stuff I thought Byzantium was really enjoyable. Let the Right One In was excellent too (remake wasn't too bad either) Unfortunately, I missed the Jim Jarmusch vamp film in the cinema, I would like to see that. Stakeland was fun too.
There are other good Vamp films you didn't mention like Near Dark/Fright night/From Dusk Till Dawn/Shadow of the Vampire/Thirst (the Korean film) among others.

I am tired of exorcism. After watching The Conjuring it seems that it is not possible to make a scary movie about ghosts and exorcism. I prefer weird Japanese Ring-like movies.

Ferox, I need to see Byzantium. I don't dislike vampire stuff, just have yet to come across something scary. Maybe Guilermo with Strain may redeem the genre for me. I did like let the right one in but only the original. Slow pace but built the characterization. It made me care about what happened to the kids. I get jaded though with originals vs remakes. I never like someone else's vision of an original idea. Not usually. I just can't think of a remake off hand that I prefer.
Exorcisms and ghosts. The industry goes in waves. Vampires, ghosts and found footage, exorcism. And on and on. For some reason older say 70's exorcism movies seem scarier than newer stuff despite all being pretty derivative. Antichriso still bothers me despite being an obvious appear to cash in on the exorcist. 80s film I believe. JPN films for me are successful because of the cultural difference in the story telling process.

Byzantium isn't scarey and isn't meant to be but it is a good film.

Ferox, I'm going to try to watch Byzantium this weekend if possible. I'm all for a solid story, better if is is scary, but there's been a shortage of really honest to goodness scary films lately.
Glad one other person even knows about Antichristo. The whole black mass goat scene is the kind of thing I expected to see in Lords of Salem. Here's something else I'm tired off. Home invasions by teenagers. Also I have to say again killer kids: Ils, Eden Lake, Come out and Play, Vinyan.... Groups of young adults in trouble and somehow only one woman survives. Apparently women are much more capable of surviving. I can say with full certainty though that my girlfriend is much smarter than I am. And she's leggy so she can sprint that much faster. Oooh, one more: movies which are blatant attempts to cash in on horror inspired trends: World War Z. As in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I love killer kids films - Have you seen Who Can Kill a Child?. Also the more recent British seasonal uplifter, The Children is great. How can you not love these pint size terrors. Never heard of Come out and Play though...

Good point with it being a remake. It should have been called Who Can Kill My Time? How's this for an addition: Running zombies or really bad CGI zombies ie I Am Legend (although not really zombies or vampires, whatever), World War Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Throw in people in horror movies that apparently have never seen a horror film and are grossly unaware or what is going on.

May have been brought up before. I love found footage films and the like but am very tired of the "bass or white noise" and distorted picture as a sort of a heralding that things are going south very soon.
