The setting and the characters are quite cute.
I can count on one hand the number of movies about vampires that are actually good. One of those movies that I feel is not very well known is called Byzantium. It came out in 2012 and didn't have huge names for the actors involved. But imo, it was a very underrated gem that a lot of people who like the genre would probably enjoy.
I thought I am Legend was closer to being zombies than vampires. Just... zombies allergic to sunlight? I dunno. I didn't get a vampire vibe from the creatures, myself.I really like Daybreakers- aside from I Am Legend, it's the only vampire movie that feels somewhat realistic to me.

Guess they're vampires, then. lolThe lore from the movie and book is vampires, though I particularly associate them with that because of the late-stage vamps in Daybreakers.

I briefly remember Daybreakers. Mostly, I just remember that it had Sam Niel, Ethan Hawk, and William Defoe. Buuuut, I can't recall the plot too well.
I've seen a lot of movies over the years, and in reference to vampire movies, I'd say the best ones I'd recommend (other than the already mentioned Byzantium) would be:
- Interview with a Vampire
- Blade (just the first one)- though I'm really iffy if this one should stay on my list, tbh
- Dracula Untold
- Underworld (again, just the first one)
- 30 Days of Night
If you've ever read the Anne Rice vampire books, they are... *cough* weirdly homo-erotic. But I mean, if you know anything about Anne Rice and her other written works, ...well, it's to be expected.The casting for Interview with the Vampire bugged the hell outta me, tbh, but that's always a risk when you adapt a book. Blade I was definitely good- I thought Blade III was good, campy fun tbh. Same with Dracula Untold. I'd say the Underworld prequel deserves a watch as well- they made it incredibly consistent with the first movie.
I THINK I WATCHED THAT LIKE WAY BACK>Okami-chan and her 7 Companions (it was on Netflix years back, and no one has watched it)
Ohhh, I loved Blood Red Sky! Such a good movie. And since we are (and kind of have been for a bit, lol) talking about vampire movies...Blood Red Sky when I talk about movies. One of my favorite horror movies as of late but it's confined mostly to obscure netflix movie that's somehow fairly well written. Of the vampire horror movies I've seen, probably one of the most heartfelt.

One of the best ones I've seen is probably Afflicted. No one I've ever met has heard of it before I recommend it to them. It's a found footage movie, written and directed Derek Lee and Clif Prowse, who also star as the two main characters, Derek and Clif (yes). Derek has always wanted to take a trip around the world, but finds out he has a cerebral arteriovenous malformation that could kill him at any time, and while he can get surgery to try to fix it there's also a chance he won't survive the surgery. So he decides that, before risking the surgery, he wants to go on that trip just in case he never gets the chance to; he and Clif go together, meeting up with friends along the way, and decide to make a web video series of the entire thing. When Derek picks up a girl at a club during the trip, though, and his friends find him just in time to keep her from seemingly killing him, things take a weird turn as his body starts changing, in ways that are fun at first but eventually get very, very alarming.
I also really love the Hong Kong romantic horror comedy Vampire Cleanup Department! It's not a great movie or anything, but I had a lot of fun with it. A ~20 year old named Tim Cheung gets bitten by a jiangshi, but is rescued by VCD agents Yip Chi Chau and Yeung Chung and taken home to his grandmother when he obviously doesn't seem to be turning into a jiangshi at all himself. He finds out that his parents used to work for the department, and were themselves bitten just before he was born, which is how they died and seems to be why he's immune to turning himself. He joins the department... and then on what seems to be a routine mission, not only does the VCD find an incredibly powerful jiangshi that could spell real trouble, but Tim finds a second jiangshi, a young woman named Summer who bites him but then seems to be aware and more than just a mindless monster. Instead of overseeing her destruction, Tim hides her at his place while he trains further. They grow closer, and everything comes to a predictable head when Tim's relationship with Summer, his sword training at the department, his theories on jiangshi and whether all of them need to be killed, and the reappearance of the powerful, dangerous Big Bad jiangshi all begin to culminate practically at once. It's a fun little film, though the ending does disappoint in a few ways.
