Infelice, I hope this helps.

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

Thanks Clear.

I love Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton too.

I have my fingers doing the walking looking for a copy.

I've been a fan of Lance since Pumpkinhead

Sorry for bumping another dormanant topic

My friend in Cincinatti, it's her fault I am a BtVS fan, loves Blade. And she's only a moderate fan of John Carpenter's Vampires, which I really like. IMO, Blade is too loud.

What's the vamp movie, where there's a human and vampire police detective, and they have to work together to solve some crime? Sound familiar to anyone?

Lova At First Bite and the Blade movies have yet to be mentioned. Why not?

OMG Love at First Bite?!? With George Hamilton?? HilARious.

I'm huge on Vampire Hunter D fan. I also like (I know it's sacrilege) From Dusk 'Til Dawn in all its cheesy, Clooney glory.

Lost Boys is a classic from the 80's, so awesome. Cheers.
