American doctor Shane Brown takes his new bride June on a honeymoon in Paris. Between bouts of unsatisfying sex and dull sightseeing, Shane hunts for two missing colleagues: Léo Sémeneau and his wife Coré, with whom he shares a horrifying secret. Claire Denis' provocative foray into the horror genre is a disturbing, sensuous and fiercely intelligent exploration of carnal desire. Working with the great cinematographer Agnès Godard, Denis gives her images a tactile immediacy, collapsing the distance between the audience and the film's damned "vampire" lovers. Not for the squeamish.

Small town farmer Caleb meets mysterious drifter Mae, who nibbles his neck just before dawn, turning him into a vampire. Caleb is soon whisked away by Mae's motley crew, and inducted into the nocturnal life of the vampire: a restless road trip in search of blood. Kathryn Bigelow's brilliant, brooding horror tale is one of the great genre films of the 1980s.

Brothers Michael and Sam move to the seedy seaside town of Santa Carla, which is rumored to have the highest murder rate in the world. Michael falls in with a gang of teenage vampires, headed by David, a charismatic gang leader. Meanwhile, Sam teams up with a pair of amateur vampire hunters to save his brother from hanging out with the wrong crowd. This enjoyable mix of teen comedy, horror and juvenile delinquency genres is one of the most iconic films of the 1980s.
