Anime Expo Cinema Nights Presents special 40th anniversary screenings of the cult classic Vampire Hunter D. In the year 12,090 AD, technology and the supernatural have overtaken the world, leaving the land desolate and despotic. The remnants of humanity are scattered into small communities and live in fear of vampires who compose the ruling Nobility. When Count Magnus Lee tastes the blood of Doris Lang, she is forcibly chosen to be his next wife. In an effort to escape her ill-gotten fate, she hires a mysterious vampire hunter known only as D, who comes from a peculiar lineage.

A potent blend of pulpy genre trappings. A post-apocalyptic gothic horror western. A film that feels like someone crossed the Castlevania franchise with Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star). This is something that checks almost all of my boxes, and I can't, for the life…
Aberrant GhoulSep 7, 20191985 Techno Hammer Horror Western jam with a shitload of amazing monsters, ghost beasts, and wicked Escape From New York/Mad Max mutants... paced just to my liking and drenched in gothic atmos with Elm Street reminiscent synths and explosive body chunks/split in half…

A strange apocalyptic vampire take, enhanced by lots of added fantastical elements and drenched in old-school gothic animation. goes absolutely off the rails in moments, yet the atmosphere remain potent. It's admittedly pretty clear where it's headed the entire time, but as…
SethsreviewsJul 12, 2022Vampire Hunter D is not a deep nor complex work. Instead it exists just for its own vagueness and world-building, with a plot used as an excuse to tie together various action scenes and cool images. It's shallow and simple in a way. However Vampire Hunter D delivers…

Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineMay 25, 2025A cursed mixtape of cyberpunk darkwave, post-apocalyptic western and dungeon synth. It’s Mad Max meets Nosferatu in a Sisters of Mercy music video. Castlevania, but make it horny.

- Cole likedVampire Hunter D
Still relevant after so many years 😮💨
Dexter dislikedVampire Hunter DThis movie SUCKS! It’s like they went for jojo mixed with castlevania and ended up adventure quest mixed with scooby doo. Watch D (stupid name) plop along on his horse while corny music plays. How many times does D explain he’s a man? This is stupid. It’s adventure quest stupid
Martin Latour likedVampire Hunter DDon't watch this for the movie, what makes it interesting is the art style and general vibe of it. Worth a watch.

One of the greatest anime of all time! You gotta see it in the big screen, mainly for the sound design. And the epic visuals.
