Tagline: Killing you would be easy, they'd rather terrify you...forever.
Plot: A young cowboy is seduced by a new girl in town only to find out he has been kissed by a vampire. Slowly turning into a creature of the night, he is persuaded to join up with the girl and a roaming band of ghouls. But when his own father and sister become targets in the vampires' endless search for 'food,' he is forced to choose between loyalty to the vampires, or loyalty his own family. NEAR DARK is a stylish and brutal mixture of horror, western, and action conventions from director Kathryn Bigelow (STRANGE DAYS) that ranks among the best vampire movies ever made.

Many, many, many vampire flick—from "Interview with the Vampire" to "Blade"—borrowed from this movie... This is the best modern vampire movie, much better than "Interview with the Vampire," and a must-see for any serious splatter movie fan.-- (eSplatter.com)
The directing is well done and it has a good atmosphere throughout. I liked the western-like feel to the movie and the violence was just right. ... One of my favorite vampire movie. Unique, well directed, great cast, unique story, check this film out. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
