NEAR DARK (1987)
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
The great American vampire film of the 1980's is not the cheesy, dated "The Lost Boys" or even the very entertaining "Fright Night", but rather this moody stylish genre bender from Kathryn Bigelow. A minor masterpiece of atmospheric storytelling, "Near Dark"s mixture of Gothic and western elements remains one of the coolest and most original takes on the vampire myth in film history. The entire cast is great but Lance Henriksen is particularly bad ass.
Crappy poster though.
