The new film “Let Me In”, a remake of Swedish vampire flick “Let the Right One In”, has only furthered the current boom in vampire fiction that is dominating our screens, both big and small. After a brief pause following the ending of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 2003, vampires came back with a vengeance and it’s now hard to find much on screen that doesn’t have anything to do with these blood-sucking beings.

While it’s true that the current craze for vampires can largely be attributed to the enormous interest in the Twilight franchise, other media involving these darkness-dwelling creatures proves that not all vampires were created equal. In fact, many of the vampires depicted on film and TV are a far cry from Twilight’s tame, house-trained versions. And while vampires in the hit show True Blood walk amongst humans and are far more polite and less murderous than, say, the vampires we know from Buffy, they’re certainly not angelic.

True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are two of the prominent vampire-based shows currently enjoying big audiences on television. There’s something about vampires that is alluring and attractive, meaning that viewers of all ages and tastes find something about these shows to draw their interest. And it’s very possible that “Let Me In” wasn’t remade for an American audience just because the Swedish version was really good: its subject matter more than likely had a large impact on why that particular film was selected over a whole host of other undoubtedly excellent Swedish films. In the cultural taste of today, vampires sell – so producers and movie makers are keeping their eyes peeled for ways to exploit such popularity and turn it into shiny new dollars.

There’s no saying how long the vampire craze will last, but one thing’s for sure: even after this phase is over, vampires will be back. Vampires have always been a cultural fascination and are something that society loves to read about and watch. Whether it’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, one of the most famous Gothic novels of its time, Nosferatu, or even nineties cartoon star Count Duckula, vampires are something that frequently make an appearance in the fictional media of the world.

Thriller movies, unlike other common genres, have the powerful effect to be able to influence our brains. It works in a way that watching these movies can slowly plant a unique logic into our minds that enhances our ability to think deeper and smarter. From the scientific point of view, movies like detective, murder or adventure can actually enhance audiences’ attentiveness and observational abilities. This is because they are capable of stimulating the vibration in the human’s nervous system by injecting massively the electrifying sequences.

It is from the mouths of most viewers that movies of thriller genre can be mind-boggling, fear-provoking and hair raising. Some even claimed in a humorous way that watching thrillers can fully exercise the brain cells. In fact, there is a priceless theory proposed by physicist Newton, displaying explanation that every single action by human will exert an equal as well as opposing respond. This concept applies perfectly into viewing the movies of thriller. Perhaps this indication goes well with the saying that thrillers can make one feel entertained and stressed at the same time. The adrenaline rush, tingling of spine produces vibrations in your nerves.

Nevertheless, the stress triggered by watching thriller movies is not at all harmful. The temporary tension stimulated is healthy and leaves the mind almost immediately to be transformed into some kind of indescribable relaxation, precisely compatible to the Newton’s law. From there, the stress and relaxation then slowly enhance, ounce by ounce, the intelligence and wisdom of a person then the stress slowly vanishes. Should there be existence of any puzzling moments in the movies; the dormant brain cells of human will be effectively charged. In time, the intellectual horizon of a person will expand and the observational abilities will be expanded as well.
