5 Days To New Moon
The Count
If you're a fan of Vampire films, then here are a few other ones you might have missed.

The Daddy of the vamps, a certain Mr Dracula, has been in more films than R Patz has had Google hits. Check out the old-skool Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), with Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves, for some class or a pre-fame Gerry Butler in Dracula 2000 (that came out here in 2001, confusingly) for some cack.

In the last 10 years though, the franchises have taken over. Blade, the half-vampire/half-human warrior, managed 3 films since 1998 whilst Underworld, first out in 2003, has also managed a couple of sequels. Even From Dusk Till Dawn did a couple of straight-to-DVD follow-ups.

But for my faves look to the oddball bloodsuckers. This year's Let The Right One In was a cold, icy, chilling Swedish vamp tale that'll turn your legs to jelly. A Hollywood remake beckons.

For an 80s classic look to The Lost Boys, still holding up thanks to the brooding charisma of Kiefer Sutherland even if the FX are pretty ropey.

And finally there's 2007's awesome 30 Days Of Night, with Josh Hartnett battling fanged killers in the Alaskan darkness. It's seriously stylish - all a good sign for the next Twilight movie, Eclipse, as they're both directed by David Slade.
