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

 When Movies where Great March 9, 2010
Luis E. Velasco (Honduras)
A great movie back from the 80`s, it may have a couple of dull excenes but overall very,very good.
 Mediocre by modern standards March 7, 2010

May have been ok in the 80's but there are a lot better films in this genre.
 Great film, so-so blu-ray. February 18, 2010
J. Braden (Hidden Valley Lake, CA USA)
Near Dark is the best vampire film I have seen, it's not teen girl oriented like Twilight and it's not a cheesy horror film typical of the 80's. It just works well. The cast is fantastic with one of Bill Paxton's best performances and a terrifying Lance Henriksen as the head of the vampire family. You will not be sad you bought this film!
Pros
Great film.
Great cast.
Great price.
Not Twilight.
Cons
Mediocre transfer, noticeable artifacts in the film.
Packaging is the awful "green" blu-ray box. It feels cheap and breakable.
 Movie Great - Blu Ray VERY poor January 31, 2010

what is the person thinking saying this was a good transfer? This is THE worst looking blu-ray I have ever seen. I love the movie but like many others have said, this transfer leaves A LOT to be desired.
The quality of this blu-ray is simply awful January 24, 2010

This is one of my favorite b movies of all time. I was really looking forward to enjoying a blu-ray copy of this film. What a disappointment it was to realize that Lionsgate has released a simply terrible transfer of this terrific film. Just about all my regular DVD's look better than this piece of junk. I only gave it 2 stars because the movie is terrific. Save your money and get it on dvd, for that matter a vhs would probably look as good as this piece of garbage. You have been warned.
