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

Henriksen and Paxton make this film worth the money. If you love creepy and ghoulish vampires then this film is for you! Paxton plays the perfect sociopath and Henriksen is great as the leader of a motley crew of undead. This is one of my favorite vampire films to date. Creepy, scary and lots of fun.
This movie is a must for anyone who loves his or her vampires dark and devious. Totally devoid of gushy romance---I promise! A tad disturbing at times, but I guarantee you'll love it! Highly ... Read More

I keep harping to friends about Near Dark, a film I remember seeing when I was a kid. It was one of the first DVDS I bought and a movie I consider one of the best vampire films ever. In truth watching it again it would easily make a good companion piece to last years Let the Right One In as the vampires in the movie are more predatory creatures instead of elegant killers. They're a coven, a messed up family if ever there was one who stick to their own and don't like intruders. With these facts in check ... Read More

I had heard that this movie was a classic blending of both western and vampire themes. I was not disappointed. I really enjoy seeing a movie that is both entertaining and unpredictable. This one fits the bill. The actors are great.

The one star rating is for the so-called "artwork" of this release. This film is without a doubt an absolute brilliant vampire film. However, in the wake of the non-deserved so-called success of the "Twilight" books and the movie, Lions Gate has decided to re-release this gem with the MOST absurd dvd artwork.
Why in the heck would you ruin the reputation of a stand alone vampire film (that already had great artwork with the 2 disc release from Anchorbay) by chaning the artwork to mirror that of "Twilight"? ... Read More

Dark, distressing and simply a joy to watch. Adrian Pasdar, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton - an unusual combination of actors that perfectly bring their characters to life. This is a solid, down-home vampire film that, despite its age, still has the power to send a shiver down the spine.
