Peter Travers Reviews Vampire Movies: 1989-1992
Vampire's Kiss (1989)
"The bloodsuckers in this thriller may not have much bite, but here's a movie that can — it's guaranteed — drain the life out of an audience in minutes."The Reflecting Skin (1990)
"It's not your average vampire movie; this one's got aspirations. Philip Ridley, the British painter-illustrator-novelist who turned screenwriter with the mesmerizing 1990 gangster film The Krays, debuts as a director with a perversely alluring work he describes as 'Blue Velvet with children.'"Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
"Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is a Valley cheerleader who only wants to "graduate high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater and die." Now some old dude, played by Donald Sutherland with the resigned look of an actor who's landed a role he'll never live down, tells her she's been chosen to slay vampires." -
Peter Travers Reviews Vampire Movies: 1994-2001
Interview with the Vampire (1994)
"Neil Jordan's $50 million film of Anne Rice's best-selling Interview With the Vampire is a major movie with major problems. Is it still worth seeing? Definitely. The good parts are that good. But it's one thing to write it in a review and another to say it in person to a potential ticket buyer who's in your face and wanting proof."The Addiction (1995)
"The glut of vapid vampire movies makes you want to bite back, but director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant), working from a rabidly ambitious script by Nicholas St. John, gives the genre a provocative and perversely funny snap that Anne Rice might envy."Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
"Shadow of the Vampire, the first film produced by Nicolas Cage, is a shockingly funny spellbinder with a plum part that Cage — talk about shocks — handed to Willem Dafoe instead of himself."Dracula 2000 (2001)
"Dracula 2000 raises an unholy cinematic stench that nonetheless brings sweet news for the new year. During the holidays, audiences joined up with critics to jam a stake in this sucker's heart." -
Peter Travers Reviews Vampire Movies: 2003-2008
Underworld (2003)
"Vampires breeding with werewolves. Sounds hot, but it so isn't."Van Helsing (2004)
"Here's a shrieking bore of a horror flick that's meant to sex up an anemic genre by casting X-Men hunk Hugh Jackman as Van Helsing, the vampire hunter from Bram Stoker's Dracula."
Let the Right One In (2008)
"With True Blood on HBO and the film version of Twilight on the horizon, vampires are the new zombies. Bloodsuckers are hot, baby. Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice, plus a young romance you'll never see on the Disney Channel."

Peter Travers Reviews Vampire Movies: 2009-2010
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)
"Do we really need another vampire movie? Well, this one is based on a popular tweener series of a dozen books by British writer Darren Shan."
Vampires Suck (2010)
"This movie sucks more." -
Peter Travers Reviews Vampire Movies: 2010
Let Me In (2010)
"I thought for sure that any Hollywood remake of Tomas Alfredson's artful Swedish vampire film, Let the Right One In, would be a crass desecration. Well, color me blushing."Off the Cuff With Peter Travers: Chloe Moretz
Chloe Grace Moretz, who plays a young vampire in the new movie Let Me In (and who stole scenes in Kick Ass), talks with Peter Travers about working with Martin Scorsese, her four overprotective brothers (they read her scripts and text messages) and how her character in is much "darker and deeper" than those Twilight kids.Daybreakers (2010)
"After all the toothless, limp-dick vampire posturing in the Twilight chick flicks, it's a kick to see a balls-out, R-rated movie about bloodsuckersthat doesn't spare the gore so little girls won't cry into their Twitpics of Rob Pattinson." -
