Collider has published a ranked list of the six best vampire films released since 2010, arguing that recent entries in the genre have moved beyond traditional horror tropes to explore themes such as identity, isolation and existential dread. The piece highlights how modern vampire cinema spans multiple genres, from horror-drama to comedy, showing the flexibility of the vampire narrative in contemporary filmmaking.

At number six is "Let Me In" (2010), Matt Reeves's American remake of the Swedish film "Let the Right One In", starring Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz as a bullied boy and the centuries-old vampire girl who befriends and protects him. Number five is "What We Do in the Shadows" (2014), the mockumentary co-directed by and starring Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, which mines comedy from the mundane domestic lives of a group of vampire flatmates and later spawned a popular television spin-off. The article also references other acclaimed entries in the list, including the Iranian-set "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night", though full details of the remaining four films are not covered in this excerpt.
