01
From Dusk Till Dawn
Why this pick
Matches Carpenter’s hard-edged, sun-blasted vampire action with a ragged band of survivors, abrasive humor, practical gore, and an escalating siege atmosphere.

02
Near Dark
Why this pick
A lean, dusty American vampire western with outlaw camaraderie, nocturnal violence, and the same stripped-down, unsentimental toughness as Vampires.
03
Dog Soldiers
Why this pick
Trades vampires for werewolves but preserves the appeal: capable, bickering hunters facing a brutal night siege with muscular action and grim comic relief.
04
30 Days of Night
Why this pick
Its isolated community and relentless predators create a harsher, more dread-soaked version of the hunted-versus-hunters momentum that drives Vampires.
05
Priest
Why this pick
Catholic vampire-hunting mythology, desert wastelands, and terse action give it a direct tonal kinship with Vampires’ pulp-western aggression.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A team of Holy See-sponsored vampire hunters led by Jack Crow rids an abandoned house of vampires in the middle of New Mexico during a daylight raid. The team uses a coordinated method of using battle pikes as harpoons, spearing vampires within the house so that a mechanical winch can pull them outside into the daylight. After clearing the house, the team celebrates at a local motel with drinking and prostitutes, to the disapproval of the Priest assigned to the team. Jack Crow defends the celebration, stating that given the horrors the team witnesses on a daily basis, this is an effective way to blow off steam. During the height of the party, with most of the team drunk, they are attacked swiftly by a master vampire called Valek, who kills most of the team and their priest. Only two members of the team survive, Jack Crow and Tony Montoya, as well as a prostitute named Katrina who was bitten by Valek. Crow later meets his boss, Cardinal (Catholicism) Alba, who introduces him to Father Adam Guiteau.
