The word "vampire" is never mentioned in Near Dark, but that doesn't stop this 1987 cult favorite from being one of the best modern-era vampire films. It put then-unknown director Kathryn Bigelow on Hollywood's radar and gave choice roles to Aliens costars favored by Bigelow's ex-husband James Cameron: Lance Henriksen is the leader of a makeshift family of renegade bloodsuckers, nocturnally seeking victims in rural Oklahoma; his immortal gal pal is Aliens and Terminator 2 alumnus Jenette Goldstein; and Bill Paxton is the group's deadliest leather-clad ass kicker. Fellow traveler Jenny Wright lures Okie farm boy Adrian Pasdar into the group with a love bite, and he's soon turning toward vampirism with a combination of frightened revulsion and relentless desire. With Joshua Miller (River's Edge) as the youngest vampire, Near Dark is Bigelow's masterpiece of low-budget ingenuity--a truck-stop thriller that begins well, gets better and better (aided by a fine Tangerine Dream score), and goes out in a blaze of glory. --Jeff Shannon

Near Dark is a very intersting horror movie in every sense of the word "interesting", and "horror". It's a vampire-western crossover film, combining the charm of Western movie characters with the violence and midnight adrenaline of vampire horror. Here's the skinny:
-Caleb, a likeable Southern guy falls for Mae, a newcomer to his town. While on a "date", a kiss turns to a bite that turns Caleb into a vampire. Now he's kidnapped by Mae's vampire clan, featuring the sinister leader, played by ... Read More

I liked Lost boys and I am a big fan of vampire stuff, books and movies. I really was looking forward to this but what a dissapointment. I fail to see why anybody would like this movie!? Somebody called this a horror movie... there is absolutely no horror what so ever.

I'll let others review the movie itself. Disc 2 was not the listed Bonus Features at all: I received a pilot episode for a TV show titled "Profit."
The only thing this show has in common with "Near Dark" is the lead actor, Pasdar.
This is a first for me: a completely different disc substituted within a DVD package. I'd replace it if I could be sure I would get the intended Bonus Features disk, but Amazon wouldn't want to open a DVD to check before mailing it to me, and ... Read More

Existentialist in an original different twist of the vampire genre, Kathryn Bigelow's "Near Dark" is one of the moxt exciting and controversial achievements in horror cinema, a tour de force in action and suspense, a new style for the night creature aesthetics with a ground-breaking, poetical and human portrayal of the struggle of the undead.
The story is a renovated statement : The main character-victim Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) is infected by cute and innocent drifter Mae (jenny Wright), ... Read More

If you like Vampire movies, you will certainly love this one. No Crosses or silver bullets. A good love story with strong sexual desire.
The characters are very strong and completlely believable. Has a unique
plot twist and development in the end. Overall a good movie experience.
