Twilight is a rash on cinema history and has plagued horror fans and loving boyfriends alike. I met my wife when the second Twilight film was released. Wanting to impress her, and know what the hell was going on when we went to watch the second film in theaters, I watched the first film with her in her dorm room and the rest of the series in theaters. Now that I said that I can bash the series as much as I want because I spent my hard earned cash to watch and those of you that do enjoy the films can not defend yourselves by saying I have not seen them. Anyway, after hearing some ladies at work talk about how they enjoyed the love story the idea hit me. I should write a post about other vampire films that have a better love story than this foul piece of shit. Most vampire movies do have some idea of romance if you pay close enough attention. Most are straightforward as well with none of that love triangle bullshit. Finally, most of these films have better acting and most of the cast actually shows emotions instead of being flat like a certain lead actress's chest. This is my opinion and my opinion only and does not reflect the opinions of any of the other writers on the site.
10. 30 Days of Night
A lot of you may not like this film and that is completely understandable. I like the film but that is not why it is on the list. This film does have a solid love story going on and that is something you can not deny. The main character infects himself with the vampire sickness in order to fight the bloodthirsty fiends that has taken over his sleepy Alaskan town and to protect his wife. Once he succeeds in fighting the beast off, he kills himself while laying in his loving wife's arms. That's fucking love and better than anything in the Twilight series.
9. Subspecies
This movie is one of my favorite vampire flicks...but not because of the damn romance. Radu is a vampire/witch hybrid that kidnaps Michelle, a college student. Radu's brother Stefan is a vampire/human hybrid and has fallen in love with Michelle. The two brothers are in a power struggle for a relic known as the bloodstone all while fighting over the beautiful Michelle. Radu is what a real vampire should look like and this film has that love triangle crap you dirty minded preteens love so much. Give it a go and jump on the Team Radu bandwagon.
8. Children of the Night
This one is for you ladies out there so put down your 50 Shades of Smut and pop this one in. This movie not only has one love story but two. When a priest's brother dies he sleeps with his widow. When a vampire plague takes over the land and infects her and her daughter, the priest takes care of her before succumbing to her deathly kiss. Also in this love stricken film is another love story. As the town is taken over by bloodsuckers, a school teacher and young college girl fight to survive before falling in love. Once again this one has real vampires and not something Sir Elton John shit out.
7. Let Me In
There is nothing like puppy love. Regardless of how many times you fall in puppy love. The film follows an ageless vampire trapped in the body of a young girl. Her familiar is aging and can no longer do the daunting tasks she requires of him. Enter the young boy that lives down the hall. He is an awkward youth that is often the butt of the other kid's jokes. He befriends the young girl and falls in love with the little lady creating a cycle filled with blood. Kids these days.
6. Once Bitten
This flick rounds up the first 5 films in this article. This is an 80's Jim Carrey horror comedy that may not be that scarey but is still more entertaining than that Bella bullshit. Carrey stars as a young high school boy who wants nothing more than to score with his foxy girlfriend. However, she refuses to put out forcing him and his friends to travel to Hollyweird. It is here where he meets an aging vampire countess that feeds on virgins to stay youthful in appearance. After the film plays out Carrey's lady loves him so much she gives up her cherry to him in order to break the vampire's claim on his soul. Now that is some romantic shit right there.
For those of you interested in the next film stay tuned and I'll post the remaining five films within the week.
