Review of Near Dark (1987) by Ja F — 31 Jul 2009
Horror story is equal parts vampire film and western. While these vampires behave like a violent biker gang, they're also prone to falling in love. Second teen vampire story to be released in 1987 after The Lost Boys, is perhaps less well known, but still, a wholly original, entertaining film.
Director Kathryn Bigelow's eerie and stylized film is memorably atmospheric. Dangerously-in-love couple, Caleb and Mae make Edward and Bella irrelevant.
