Near Dark
No Longer Playing
1987 94 min
An ‘80s cult classic with a vicious bite, Near Dark gets the carnal appeal of vampires better than almost any other movie. Lance Henricksen stars as vampire ringleader Jesse, alongside Jenny Wright as bloodsucking sweetheart Mae and Adrian Pasar as Caleb Colton, the clueless cowboy who’s initiated into the vampire lifestyle after picking up what he thinks is an attractive girl at a bar. But Bill Paxton steals the show as Severen, a sadistic rockabilly vamp who oozes dangerous sex appeal. This movie bleeds motor oil as well as the usual red stuff, embarking on a deranged homicidal road trip across the American West that parties ‘til the sun comes up.
