Massively underated vampire flick. Released the same year as Lost Boys so wen't pretty much under the radar.

Instead of watching twilight, watch this! The horror vampire western. Plus Bill Paxton is a bad ass.

one of Bill Paxtons first rolls. Love it. Also has Lance Hendrixson in it. He fought for the south!

Great vampire movie even though the word vampire is never said lol Bill Paxton and the kid who played Homer were awesome and loved the bar scene :D

checking it out in blu ray

Great eighties art direction. The Republican not-so hidden message if choosing 'the right path where family values reign supreme' is a bit lame for a vampire slasher. But what else to expect from Ms Bigalow, the Leni Rifenstahl of the Republican party.

It's not what's going on. It's what's coming off. Your face - clean off.

A favorite movie in the genre. If you've not seen it, drop everything and watch it.

Love it enough that I bought some Tim Bradstreet art related to this movie - t-shirt with art, splattered with red ink, and a print with "Jesse Hooker was here." in the background. Had these for years, and they still are prominently displayed.

How did I not know about this movie? i must check it out - thanks

As recommended by the VtN book.

Is it just me or is anybody else really think there is any similarities with the re-issued DVD of Near Dark and the DVD cover of Twilight.

One of the best vampire films ever made

Yesterdays movie. My favorites vampire film.

Watching a classic Lance Henriksen movie to get ready for next week's episode of Forgotten Flix. Perfect follow up to our interview with him. forgottenflix.com

Overall it was good, however I find it hard to believe a vampire can be cured with a blood transfusion...

Watching this makes me want to watch the Alien movies too. Why? Because it has a lot of the same actors ;-)

I enjoyed watching this growing up. Although I laughed when he said,"Daddy I'm sick."

I have to get my blood lust out the way from somewhere

Near dark is on, magic. The best vampire movie ever... After lost boys.

Movie Quotes with a Bite – Bartender: What do you people want? Jessie; Just a few more minutes of your time. About the same duration as the rest your life.

This early Kathryn Bigelow film nailed it way ahead of its time. Vampires aren't sparkly tweener heart-throbs, they are horrifying monsters that burn under the light of day. Burn baby burn! The music... more

This early Kathryn Bigelow film nailed it way ahead of its time. Vampires aren't sparkly tweener heart-throbs, they are horrifying monsters that burn under the light of day. Burn baby burn! The music in this film is also superb dark electronic, so visceral.

Top 3 vampire movie of all-time. Still surprised by how few people know of it.

Watchingon blue ray.. awesome! I have read that Hollywood is making a remake of this... jist say NO!

Came out the same weekend The Lost Boys did both are great!

LOVE this movie!!! One of my favorites!!!

Continuing tonights theme...

Scott and I cannot sleep. This is still by far one of the best vampire movies in my opinion.

I love vampire movies...

Killing you would be easy. They'd rather terrify you........forever

I'm not watching this movie right now, but I love it. It's pretty far under the radar.
