Near Dark Reviews

Underrated and ahead of its time. It's no wonder why Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron got along when you see the similarities in their work, and had this been a little stronger, I would be calling it the "Terminator" of vampire films. Strong casting, shallow character development. Compelling story, wobbly pacing. Stunning cinematography, dodgy practical effects. It holds up alright for a low-budget 80s flick, but I'd only really recommend it to vampire fans, although the bar scene is iconic.

Some parts dragged on and I wish the main character would have just picked a lane so we could get some proper character development.

Honestly though, the other characters were what truly made the movie a solid vampire flick. Would recommend.

idk i think in theory this movie slays like vampire cowboy YAASSSS…. but i think it tried to do too much and fell flat. i think it did a good job of portraying that rural american vampire but it overall just confused me. like in what world does farmboy vampire fear killing……

Boring. I didnt care much about the characters or the story

Picked up this Blu-ray a little awhile ago. And finally got around to watching it. Really cool vampire movie. Mixes well with western genre. Bill Paxton is great. Very original.

Good vampire film that seems more grounded in reality than most vampire films.

Great take on the vampire genre. Bill Paxton delivers an intense performance, full of one liners and violence. Would definitely recommend if you’re into vampire movies. 8.5/10

The ultimate vampire hitchhiker movie. A must see. Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton chewed scenery and the rest of the cast weren't slacking either

Great

it’s stupid, kind of enjoyable but i couldn’t really get into it

( 9/10 🧛‍♂️)

Pretty cool ass movie. Bill Paxton is the goat. Acting is pretty bad from the two main characters

All it took was a horror western to really unleash Bill Paxton.

Perfect 80s vampire movie..when vampires were bullies

My first Kathryn Bigelow film and it is a pretty good one. Very unique horror film that doenst remind me of anything else I’ve seen before. Bill Paxton steals the show and is just great. Definitely makes me interested in seeing more of her stuff

Awesome was glad to finally find it again.

This was very interesting vampire take with some great actors. I can see why it’s a cult favorite.

Best vampire movie!

80s vampire movies do something to me.

7/10
