34 titles
- DirectorF.W. MurnauStarsMax SchreckAlexander GranachGustav von WangenheimVampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new residence and real estate agent Hutter's wife.Obviously the inspiration for Clan Nosferatu.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsJason PatricCorey HaimDianne WiestAfter moving to a new town, two brothers discover that the area is a haven for vampires.Shows one of the few cinematic depictions of the Ravnos Discipline of Chimerstry. Considering that bottle of blood might have been a Vaulderie, they're Ravnos Antitribu?
- DirectorStephen WilliamsStarsRon SilverChauncey LeopardiNatanya RossA teen obsessed with horror films befriends a vampire who leads him to a whole coven of vampires that hide beneath the New York subways.A Ventrue and his coterie in their subway domain.
- DirectorNeil JordanStarsBrad PittTom CruiseAntonio BanderasA vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.Anne Rice has been one of the biggest influences on V:tM. And on Clan Toreador especially I believe, as also seen here.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsEddie MurphyAngela BassettAllen PayneA Caribbean vampire seduces a Brooklyn police officer who has no idea that she is half-vampire.A Caribbean vampire of which the ghoul starts rotting away? He knows how to hide it, but definitely a member of the Samedi bloodline.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsCatherine DeneuveDavid BowieSusan SarandonA love triangle develops between a beautiful yet dangerous vampire (Catherine Deneuve), her cellist companion (David Bowie), and a gerontologist (Susan Sarandon).The Discipline of Presence owes a lot to this movie, as do the Toreador.
- DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsHarvey KeitelGeorge ClooneyJuliette LewisTwo criminals and their hostages unknowingly seek temporary refuge in a truck stop populated by vampires, with chaotic results.Was there ever a movie more Sabbat than this one?
- DirectorP.J. PesceStarsMarco LeonardiMichael ParksAra CeliSet 100 years ago in Mexico, this horror/western is the story of the birth of the vampire princess Santanico Pandemonium.Before the Sabbat the temple was the domain of indigenous Setites. Could be Tlacique, except they still have Serpentis.
- DirectorStephen NorringtonStarsWesley SnipesStephen DorffKris KristoffersonA half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.A Dhampir versus the Anarchs. We also see the Camarilla and an awesome Nosferatu.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonRon PerlmanBlade forms an uneasy alliance with the vampire council in order to combat the Reapers, who are feeding on vampires.He's working together with a Sabbat (Black Hand) Pack this time.
- DirectorKathryn BigelowStarsAdrian PasdarJenny WrightLance HenriksenA small-town farmer's son reluctantly joins a traveling group of vampires after he is bitten by a beautiful drifter.No better representation of a Sabbat Pack.
- DirectorE. Elias MerhigeStarsJohn MalkovichWillem DafoeUdo KierThe filming of Nosferatu (1922) is hampered by the fact that its star Max Schreck is taking the role of a vampire far more seriously than seems humanly possible.
- DirectorTomas AlfredsonStarsKåre HedebrantLina LeanderssonPer RagnarOskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl.
- DirectorVincent LannooStarsCarlo FerranteVera Van DoorenPierre LognayBelgium's vampire community invites a documentary crew to film one of their families: husband, wife, and two teen children - Georges, Bertha, Sampson, and Grace. The teens have problems: Sampson wants to sleep with the community leader's wife (the only sexual taboo) and Grace wears pink and wants to be human. The family eats (they keep a young woman for snacks, and the police drop off immigrants for them), visits their community school, chats with a coffin maker, goes to parties, and looks down their nose at a childless vampire couple who live in their basement. We learn of the vampire code, forced exile in Canada, and the fate of Sampson and Grace.Silliness aside a pretty good representation of the Camarilla at times.
- DirectorJim JarmuschStarsTilda SwintonTom HiddlestonMia WasikowskaA depressed musician reunites with his lover. However, their romance, which has already endured several centuries, is disrupted by the arrival of her uncontrollable younger sister.The perfect Toreador movie! Even the Disciplines match.
- DirectorAna Lily AmirpourStarsSheila VandArash MarandiMarshall ManeshIn the Iranian ghost-town Bad City, a place that reeks of death and loneliness, the townspeople are unaware they are being stalked by a lonesome vampire.
- DirectorXan CassavetesStarsJoséphine de La BaumeChing Valdes-AranMilo VentimigliaA beautiful, lonely vampire falls in love with a screenwriter and transforms him into one of the undead, but their budding romance is threatened by her vivacious, troublemaking sister.
- DirectorJason KrawczykStarsHenry RollinsBooboo StewartKate GreenhouseJack, a social outcast, is thrust out of his comfort zone when the outside world bangs on his door and he can't contain his violent past.I can't tell you more without spoiling it.
- DirectorJemaine ClementTaika WaititiStarsJemaine ClementTaika WaititiCori Gonzalez-MacuerViago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
- DirectorMark PaviaStarsMiguel FerrerJulie EntwisleDan MonahanA reporter is on the trail of a vampiric murderer who travels by plane.A Tzimisce pilot
- DirectorMichael RymerStarsAaliyahStuart TownsendMarguerite MoreauIn this loose sequel to Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), the vampire Lestat becomes a rock star whose music wakes up the equally beautiful and monstrous queen of all vampires.Only natural since Anne Rice was such a huge influence on V:tM
- DirectorTed NicolaouStarsJonathon MorrisDavid GunnKirsten CerreAvenging vampire stalks a king of the vampires in Eastern Europe, slaughters anyone who gets in his way.Campy, but never seen a movie so clearly based on V:tM
- DirectorRichard WenkStarsChris MakepeaceSandy BaronRobert RuslerTwo fraternity pledges travel to a sleazy bar in search of a stripper for their college friends, unaware it is occupied by vampires.I'm pretty sure the main vampire in this helped inspire the Setites.
- DirectorHolly DaleStarsGordon CurrieLouis FerreiraHelene ClarksonA vampire falls for a woman working at a donut shop.With a vampire protagonist in the Anne Rice tradition it's very close to what a Cainite is like.
- DirectorDennis GanselStarsKaroline HerfurthNina HossJennifer UlrichIn Berlin, a cop closes in on an all-female vampire trio who just took in a new member, Lena.Not just excellent V:tM fodder, but also one of the best vampire movies ever!
- DirectorBryan M. FergusonStarsGerard BonnerBryan M. FergusonVari FergusonThis vampire music video really brings the V:tM vibe.
- CreatorDavid S. GoyerStarsSticky FingazJill WagnerNelson LeeThe adventures of the half human/vampire hunter.Except for the vampires being science based instead of supernatural it's remarkably close to V:tM, even more so than the movies.
- DirectorBen KetaiStarsKiele SanchezRhys CoiroDiora BairdAfter surviving the incidents in Barrow, Alaska, Stella Oleson relocates to Los Angeles, where she intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben.I suppose the original film already was a bit Sabbatish. But the sequel strays into V:tM territory even more so.
- StarsDavid SoulJames MasonLance KerwinA novelist and a young horror fan attempt to save a small New England town which has been invaded by vampires.Obviously an important early influence on V:tM.
- DirectorJoe BegosStarsDora MadisonTru CollinsRhys WakefieldA brilliant painter facing the worst creative block of her life turns to anything she can to complete her masterpiece, spiraling into a hallucinatory hellscape of drugs, sex and murder in the sleazy underbelly of Los Angeles.Put this on the must-see list for Clan Malkavian.
- DirectorAnthony HickoxStarsDavid CarradineMorgan BrittanyBruce CampbellReclusive vampires lounge in a lonely American town. They wear sun cream to protect themselves. A descendant of Van Helsing arrives with hilarious consequences.Although it's a comedy I believe it's a major influence on how vampire society works in V:tM. Especially the Camarilla versus Sabbat conflict.
- DirectorBrad Michael ElmoreStarsDiana HopperNicole MainesZolee GriggsA transgender teenage girl on summer vacation in Los Angeles fights to survive after she falls in with four queer feminist vampires, who try to rid the city's streets of predatory men.Close match to V:tM vampires, they're like an Anarch coterie. First vampire film I've seen where they explored a concept akin to diablerie.
- DirectorChuck KonzelmanCary SolomonStarsSean Patrick FlaneryMichael BiehnCharlotte AyannaA drab, run-of-the-mill guy witnesses a vampiress devour a bum and becomes so infatuated with her, he tracks her down and traps her in a basement so she can't kill again.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsLiam NeesonFrances McDormandColin FrielsA brilliant scientist left for dead returns to exact revenge on the people who burned him alive.Put this on the must-see list for Clan Nosferatu.
(even though it's not a vampire movie)
