Thinking about it, there are only two vampire movies I've seen and genuinely liked, like good movies, not for their kitch value, and that's LTROI and Shadow of the Vampire.

One really good thing too about LTROI is that there's no escape from the fact that vampires kill people to survive. It's not like Eli has another option, like living only on animals or fake blood or something, and it's not like she has the alternative to be some kind of vampire Dexter and live only off "bad guys" to justify the whole thing... But perfectly ordinary decent people has to be killed off to feed her.
I mean, that was what made vampires scary in the first place. It doesn't make sense to make vampire movies and then remove that element... then why bother with vampires at all?
