Audiences tend to associate vampires with heart-pumping love stories. Sometimes lovers become vampires together and walk through eons of time with their partner. Other vampire romances are doomed to be star-crossed. Romantic vampire movies are more of a modern filmmaking sensibility–they used to be more horror-based than anything else.
The 1979 Dracula starring Frank Langella was one of the very first Dracula movies that was filmed to be highly romantic and less horrific. Vampire love stories and romantic suspense movies have only gained popularity since, and there are many more recent vampire movies that are just as romantic, if not more so.
Unfortunately, The Invitation got panned critically, but audiences enjoyed it, so it has promising cult-classic potential. The bad critical reaction may come from the cross-genre potential. The movie was meant to be a thriller/horror, but audiences enjoyed the darkly romantic subtext and its Gothic horror undertone, leaving them wishing for more.
