10 Best Vampire Movies Of The 2020s So Far

10. Let the Wrong One In (2023)

Although it has largely flown under the radar so far, Conor McMahon's comedy-horror Let the Wrong One In is an exciting new breed of vampire movie, taking a cast of relative unknowns (plus one big name), a shoestring budget and a thoroughly everyday setting and spitting out a future cult classic.

Set in the suburbs of Dublin and charting the tale of two rough 'n' ready brothers who come face to face with the evils of the night, Let the Wrong One In is The Lost Boys meets The Young Offenders. Deco (Eoin Duffy) returns to the family home after some time away (and an especially heavy night), with bite marks on his neck and an aversion to sunlight. Aided by a cab-driving vampire hunter (Anthony Stewart Head(!)), Deco and his brother Matt (Karl Rice) have to find a way to prevent the whole city being taken over by the undead. 

With a title that harks back to Tomas Alfredson's contemporary vampire masterpiece Let the Right One In, McMahon's little-Irelander movie makes no bones about either its subject matter or its sense of reverence for the horror genre as a whole, boldly splattering references - Buffy, The Shining, Evil Dead; you name it - across every other frame. And when the villains are a bloodsucking hen party, you know you're in for a hell of a time.
