Film List (Post-)Moderne Vampir Filme incl. FREE STREAMS 

Garlic and crucifixes no longer scare him, vampires can't be killed. Not in the cinema either. There are more than 400 films, and the prince of darkness has always been irresistible. Not only the vampire is doomed to eternal repetition, the vampire film is just as doomed. Light is its nemesis, darkness its element. By the 80s at the latest, vampires had arrived in the mainstream of pop culture with sunglasses and motorbikes as rock music fans living in a caravan somewhere. Fright Night, Near Dark or The Lost Boys are successful pop vampire films of the time. With Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola interplayed the laws of the vampire film and its foundations like no one before: not only the first postmodern vampire film, but one of the first films ever to blithely plunder and recycle the treasure chest of film history. The first date with Mina takes place - how could it be otherwise? - at the cinematograph. In a dissolve, the entire repertoire of cinema is present. The postmodern vampire film knows its history and exploits it. Self-analysis and human morality are among its characteristics, as in Blade and Interview with a vampire. In Ferrara's The addiction, vampirism and Catholic theology intersect, and Thirst by Park Chan-Wok is also a spiritual vampire film. In The wisdom of crocodiles, the vampire meets the woman who questions his parasitism, significantly in a museum: the vampire becomes a messenger of cinematic innovation and London has served its time as the capital of Victorian exorcism. The Swedish So Dark the Night (Let the Right One In) thoroughly turns the genre on its head when 12-year-old outsider Oskar asks the vampire girl into his soul. After the first kiss, he figures out on his own that his girlfriend is a vampire. No classic condemnation follows, nor are any vampire clichés served. She is accompanied by a guardian who bleeds people for her. That will be Oskar's fate, because no one can grow old with her. Never to grow up, that is the true fate of the vampire.
