Day 27 of Horror Movie Month: Near Dark (1987)


I was blown away when I first saw this movie. A badass vampire western with one of the coolest casts at the time, with Lance Henriksen as an Old West vampire giving intense stares and Bill Paxton as a Texas punk vampire just having a ball causing havoc. I love the drama of this film, how the innocent young man is turned into a vampire early on and trying to survive with this assembled family of vampires who seem more like a Wild West gang. The film looks fantastic at night scenes, with a lot of great backlit shots and deserted vibe, and I love how messy and dirty it looks. It’s such a great film, and I’m happy it’s around.
