Live Poll: The Enticer's Invitation

Intro:

In the hidden corners of the city, vampires watch and wait, offering invitations that promise more than mere immortality. These are not the flashy, mainstream tales of fangs and blood, but quiet, independent stories where mood, mystery, and subtle danger take center stage. Who accepts the invitation steps into a world that is strange, intimate, and unforgettable, a place shaped by vision rather than spectacle. Which of these independent-style seductive vampire stories is the most interesting? Please discuss it here.

Added. Interesting pick. I did never watch it, even didn't know it exists. I guess I have to catch up for it. ;)

I really like this poll and it has a great list. I don't watch a whole lot of horror flicks but I've seen three of these films and thought they were very good and a few others are on my watchlist. I think of these as "thinking person's" horror. : )  My vote will probably got to "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" but I also really liked "Only Lovers Left Alive" and "Let the Right One In." 

I had not heard of "Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person" but I'm putting it on my watchlist: It has one of the best (and dryly-funniest) titles I've ever heard. 

Thanks for making this, Breu. I quite enjoy it.

You're welcome. :D

I must admit that I did not see some of them, even though a colleague who already passed gave me a list a time ago. He passed a few years ago. 'Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person' was released far after. These movies are mostly like movies he saw and also many other independent stuff. He always watched independent movies like 'Wadja', 'Desert Flower' and many movies with Rachel Weisz. Often works of Aronofsky. One of his favs was 'Noah'. 

Sadly he com. sui., ci-de, because he didn't cope with his mother's death on dementia and the struggles with his envy and greedy siblings. He formerly told me that if his mother died, they want their part of her-ita-ge, which meant he had to move out of the house he was born in and lived with his mother until her de-a-th after a desaterous marriage with a bad woman. 

He told me that times before. I didn't get he was about to say goodbye. He just stopped telling at a point and whispered for himself: "No ... I'm not gonna tell that." That was before his mother passed. He already saw it comming but could't tell. He passed a few years before his retirement.

I often think about him and the list I haven't completed watching all of them, yet. I can't continue, somehow. There are still interesting movies on the list.

@Breumaster​ First, I'm very sorry for your loss — losing a friend is heartbreaking. Second, he sounds like someone I'd love to talk to about film. I'm a huge fan of independent films. (I'm also a big fan of Rachel Weisz.) For example, 'Wadja' is one of my favorite films and that film and that character is several of my polls. Oh, wow, and I just remembered that I made a poll with both of those movies — Wadja and Desert Flower. : )  He and I might also bond over siblings and family estates and heirlooms: my brothers are really cool but my sisters are resentful and greedy. That's cool that you have a list of movies from him. I  find that having something concrete from someone who has died is quite comforting.

Thanks, Breu, for sharing that story. And bravo on this poll. It sounds like your colleague would have liked it.

Not really, he wasn't so into horror movies. He better liked such like 'Chicken With Plums' or 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. Such like 'September 5 - The Day Terror Went Live' or 'The Story of the Weeping Camel'. Also Almodovar and Guillermo del Toro movies. But when horror, the he'd prefer such like on the list I've made up, yes.

His loss was years ago. I was shocked, didn't really expect it. Later I got told he did it. Then I thought back and figured together our last times we met in my mind. Then I saw it before my inner eyes.

Bad siblings are a pain in the *ss, I can tell you. Good that your brothers are ok. Congratulations. I got two sisters and they are so very not welcome by me. They better stay out of my life.

P.S.: He was very into movie from other regions. I still know we sometimes talked some times about movies. I'm a little sad he can not see the newest Aronofsky, 'Caught Stealing'. It was a passion we shared. Aronofsky did a complete new genre he wasn't involved in until now. I guess he would have had joy watching that movie, like I did with my wife. She is not so into Aronosky movies, but this time she admitted it's really good. :D Her fav of Aronofsky is his masterpiece 'The Fountain', which I should really watch again. I didn't watch it for long time now. I truly have the desire now.
