Radu is 1 of the best movie vampires!


For sure, 1 of the best! Great character and look and all! Radu's right up there with Graf Orlok, Count Dracula(Lugosi & Lee), Barnabas Collins, Kurt Barlow and so on!!

Like Mötley Crüe said, "Girls, Girls, Girls"!

I agree. When I first saw this dude, I was impressed by his creepy appearance.
Pretty boys with top hats and capes are so damn boring and bogus. It's great to see a movie series that restores what a vampire is supposed to be...the undead!

AAAAAAmmmmeeeenn. Radu is sooooo cool looking. Definatley the best vampire ever. As a kid I read Marvels Morbius the living vampire comic books. Radu and Morbius look so similiar it was cool. If anything else in this world there must be a part 5 with the birth and growing up of RADU........

i completely agree he is the best with physical appearance and also action but does anyone have any suggestions on another movie that might be as good? dying to to be impressed and delighted again.

reply

Its hard to say, do you mean vampire wise or just horror gems like this one? I love 1-3 of the subspecies series it is so well made.

Radu is indeed a very cool and creepy character. I dug the long fingers and the constant slobbering. Anders Hove was great in the part.

Apparently it was Anders idea to include Ash in BLOODSTORM. I remember hearing he complained to Ted after seeing VAMPIRE JOURNALS that Radu is supposed to be the master. The big vamp on campus basically. So Ash is puddy in Radu's hands.

With the budget they had RADU is THE BEST EVER

"Stay forever Brutal"

Yeah, I'd say Radu is one of the best looking movie vampires, along with Reggie Nalder as Mr Barlow in Salem's Lot (1979) and Chris Lee in Hammer's Dracula series.The lead vamp in John Carpenter's Vampires was pretty cool too.

I'd add Count Orlock to the list, as well as the Lost Boys and Blade (for super hero effect I guess).

reply

I completely agree. The way he is always moving his horrible, nosferatu hands, his facial expressions, the constant dribbling of blood; everything about him is so grotesque and brilliant.

reply

His look is simple yet effective. A little Buffy reminiscent.

reply

I thought Buffy as well! Wonder if Joss ever watched this movie LOL.

I randomly found a Radu action figure at a record store yesterday, and remembered how much I love this vampire. He's definitely one of the best movie vampires.
