Vampire films are a subgenre of horror cinema that focus on the mythical creatures known as vampires. These films often explore themes of immortality, seduction, and the struggle between good and evil. They typically feature vampires as central characters, showcasing their supernatural abilities, such as bloodsucking and transformation into bats or wolves. The genre has evolved over the years, with early classics like Nosferatu (1922) and Dracula (1931) setting the tone for later adaptations. Modern vampire films, such as Twilight and What We Do in the Shadows, often blend horror with romance or comedy, appealing to a broader audience while maintaining the core elements of vampire mythology.
