Is the vampire the main character ? If so , Under the Skin is a vampire movie that manages to hide the fact that it ' s a vampire movie and people love it . You might also want to look at George Romero ' s Martin , which might be one of the most realistic vampire movies I ' ve seen . It ' s hard to be scary if the vampire is the main character , because fear in a movie is basically someone we care about in danger , which is easier to do if your main character is not the monster . Get the audience on the character ' s side and then put them in real danger . The trick is to not make it campy , which is hard to do although American Werewolf in London was campy and scary so it can be done <| sep |> It is you ! And another !
