I'm in the mood for a new vampire flick that's genuinely scary/unsettling and have crazy monster designs.

Nowadays they've been romanticized to the point that people want to fuck them. I would love to see a vampire horror movie produced by A24 or something.

Just because people went to fuck something doesn't mean it can't be scary anymore.

The last vampire related thing I liked was Fright Night (both the original and the remake).

Have you seen Daybreakers? Its not the best movie but if you like horror and vampire movies its what you want.

Also has Wilhem Dafoe in it. And he is always good.

I have Bloodlines, but haven't played through it. Watched a playthrough of Redemption one time, though, and the great dialogue made me want to try the series out. Just haven't gotten around to it. =|

Screw vampires. You should just watch some ghost stuff.

The Haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass are some great Netflix short series to look into.

Daybreakers and 30 Days of Night are my 2 favorite vampire movies ever

Daybreakers isn't really trying to be scary though. The story is told from the perspective of vampires

30 Days of Night is creepy though

Speaking of vampires there's a vampire type movie I can't remember the name of. I only remember a scene where he's just laughing at some dude dying in an alley and he gets severe stomach pain if he doesn't drink blood.

Yep, that's the Nosferatu.
Then again, Vampire: The Masquerade vampires all naturally present as corpses unless they expend blood to look alive, with the exception of the Toreador, of course. They're the sexy ones of the setting.
My favorite bit related to this is that Gary Golden is super pissy to you if you're a Toreador in Bloodlines.

Gimme some grotesque vampirs who might look approachable when they're pretending to be human but their jaws drop 20 feet when they're getting ready to massacre someone.

Two ways to solve this.

1) stop casting the most beautiful people in the world as vampires

2) stop having them drink blood from erogenous zones

I think it can be really effective if you hire beautiful, approachable people to be vampires, but then distort them into these hideous creatures when they go into their true, feral vampire form right before going for a kill.

With so much turnover from the top of the creative team and supposed infighting between the developer and the publisher, is there any actual possibility of this game being good when it does come out? Or is it safe to assume that at this point it's a dumpster fire that will disappoint everybody when it releases?

Yeah, Paradox put it with a newbie developer and took it away from them and hired an as-yet unnamed new developer to work on it.
But...
https://www.reddit.com/r/vtmb/comments/q7cj32/translation_of_new_bloodlines_2_interview_with/
It doesn't seem to be dead. I'll quote the relevant portion, so ya'll don't have to go on Reddit if you don't want to:
""When we lifted the game from the original developer, we had a long review in case we should end the game or run it further. Then we were actually prepared to close the production completely. But we got a 'pitch' that we thought was convincing enough to run. played on and we have very good hopes that it will be a good game that meets the players' expectations ", says Fredrik Wester.
Paradox has not yet announced who took over the development of Bloodlines 2 . Fredrik Wester fits the question but states that it is "a very reputable and talented developer" who has made a number of different games before.
Bloodlines 2 is part of the World of Darkness series and is based on one of many brands (IP) Paradox took over with the purchase of White Wolf Publishing several years ago. The most famous are Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Ascension. In addition to the ongoing work with Bloodlines 2 , Paradox has, among other things, licensed a number of IPs in recent years.
Paradox has previously said that the company will eventually want to make many of the games in the World of Darkness universe itself. But with a delay for Bloodlines 2 , it seems that at the moment it is leaning towards more outlicensing.
"I also think we should start looking a little more at which active partners want to start working with our World of Darkness IPs. We have to ask ourselves how we should do to develop the brand and the universe, if we should maybe co-finance, how we will work with licensing and so on ", says Fredrik Wester.
When Bloodlines 2's developers were replaced at the beginning of the year, there was speculation in the industry media that the game more or less needed to be redone from the beginning. However, these are speculations that Fredrik Wester does not confirm, but he states that much of the development that was done then can still be used in the game."
Keep expectations low though. They apparently came within a hair's breadth of canceling the project entirely. Who knows if it will see the light of day, and what it will look like if it does.
