Product Description

Product Description

A vampire movie with a western backdrop. Caleb is a farmboy living in the midwest of America. One Friday night he gets involved with Mae, one of a group of vampires who roams America in a Winnebago. Caleb has a week to make his first kill to become a fully fledged blood sucker.

From Amazon.co.uk

The word "vampire" is never mentioned in Near Dark, but that doesn't stop this 1987 cult favourite 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 favoured 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 T2 alumnus Jenette Goldstein; and Bill Paxton is the group's deadliest leather-clad ass kicker. Fellow traveller 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 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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsListen to the night
By E. A Solinas HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 7 Jun. 2009
Format: DVD
Katherine Bigelow reportedly wanted to create an old-fashioned Western movie... mixed with a vampire romance. The result was something that could have been a disaster.

Instead "Near Dark" is a deeply underappreciated little cult movie, which demonstrates that talent and originality in vampire movies isn't quite gone. Bigelow smoothly intertwines eerie otherworldliness with a grimy, gritty Western flavour, and spreads the resulting atmosphere over a clever, tightly-written script and some solid acting from Adrian Pasdar and Jenny Wright.

Small-town boy Caleb (Pasdar) encounters an ethereal young woman named Mae (Wright) on the street one night. They seem to be shyly hitting it off... until she bites him and leaves.

Before Caleb knows it, the sun literally causes his skin to burn, and he's been yanked into the RV of a gang of vampire drifters -- Mae among them. They're a pretty mean bunch, and even their leader Jessie Hooker (Lance Henriksen) gives him only one week to prove himself. But Caleb refuses to give in to "instinct" by drinking blood and killing his victims, which causes some problems.

Meanwhile, Caleb's father (Tim Thomerson) and the local police are searching for the missing young man -- and when Caleb manages to save the vampires from the cops, they finally accept him. But then one of them develops a crush on Caleb's kid sister Sarah, and Caleb finds himself torn between his strange new life and his family's safety. Even if he can somehow be cured of his vampirism, can he hope to destroy an entire bloodsucker gang out to kill him?Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsHowdy. I'm gonna separate your head from your shoulders. Hope you don't mind none.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 5 Feb. 2011
Format: DVD
Near Dark is directed and written by Kathryn Bigelow with Eric Red also credited for the screenplay. It stars Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Lance Henriksen, Jenette Goldstein & Bill Paxton. The score is provided by Tangerine Dream and Adam Greenberg is the cinematographer.

A small Oklahoma town and Caleb Colton (Pasdar) meets Mae (Jenny Wright), an attractive young drifter. They chat, they flirt and just before sunrise she bites him on the neck before running away. Welcome to your new vampire family Caleb......

It's now written in scripture that Bigelow's Vampire Western failed miserably at the box office and quickly vanished into the shadow of Joel Schumacher's popular Vampo piece, The Lost Boys. However, thanks to VHS interest, the film refused to shrivel up and blow away when the sun came up. Over the years the film has garnered a cult fan base and been reappraised by many of the front line critics to great reviews. So much so that now it's considered something of an enigmatic & poetic classic that's directed by a hugely talented female director.

With its core story the film offers nothing new to the vampire sub-genre. The blood as a drug/thirst motif was long ago penned by one Bram Stoker. But Near Dark is not interested in traditional vampire mythology, this is a modern spin where garlic, bats, crosses and stakes are neither needed or thought about. In fact the word vampire is never mentioned in the film. This is, all told, a film about the human side of the night dwellers, we hop inside their blacked out bus and hit the road; along with the confused and conflicted Caleb. What follows is touches of savagery and touches of ethereal beauty-beauty that comes not from Gothic touches, but from dusky Western surrounds.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsFinger licking good...
By Corey Newcombe on 4 Mar. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
Caleb Colton meets Mae late night in town and she asks for a ride to her trailer.

It is near dawn and Mae is in a hurry, he asks for a kiss and she bites him on the neck.

When the sunlight hits him he starts to burn. A van appears out of the blue and kidnaps Caleb.

He is introduced to Mae's family: the leader Jesse, Diamondback, Severen and Homer. All of them are predator creatures of night that need blood to survive.

Family are looking for Caleb, when they meet each other in a motel, Caleb has to choose between his beloved family or his love for Mae.

A wonderful western come vampire movie that owes a lot to Cameron, but also shows why Bigelow is one of the most important directors of recent years. Unfairly shadowed by The Lost Boys on it's initial release (They are both great movies, but this should have had more recognition), it plays like the deranged cousin of the Schumacher movie, dark in mood, with a hypnotic score from Tangerine Dream.

The gang of 'undead' are a wonderful creation, each having there own traits and demons, but none more than Paxton. His Severen is an amazing feat, a character who is truly scary from the upstart, and he really goes up to eleven as the film progresses.

The rest of the cast are great and there are some terrific set pieces, namely the bar scenes, which has an amazing sense of dread throughout, much like the Video scene in 'Henry: poask' you feel helpless for the patrons, and even though you know what will happen, you want them to escape.

All in all a great inclusion to the genre, but one that has escaped many.
