Underrated Vampire Movies To Watch If You Liked Twilight

One ​​of the most unique vampire films ever made, Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive" is a film that will have you forgetting time and falling into the arms of an endless evening . Jarmusch, a leading figure in American independent cinema with a sense of rhythm and composition all his own, approaches the subject of vampiric life with a deep curiosity for character and texture. Our insanely cool heroes are Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton), an age-old couple of bons vivants who have seen it all and done it all, and have learned to endure life in this world by cherishing his art, his music and his chance encounters at the end of the evening.

As the film begins, Adam is going through a depressive period in an empty post-recession Detroit, while Eve is enjoying the wonderful nightlife of Tangier, Morocco. During one of their periodic catch-up calls, she realizes that he is in the doldrums, and so she travels to the United States to cheer up her lover. From then on, the film unhurriedly unfolds in beautiful chiaroscuro tableaux, dense philosophical discussions, morbid debacles, memorable run-ins with other vampires (played, in appropriate casting, by John Hurt and the great Mia Wasikowska), and shows deep, transcendent and undying love. If you're charmed by nostalgic romance versus the world of "Twilight," rest assured, you'll love these two zany ones.
