Alex B @AlexBioni 3 hrs ago Lost in the 80s This is an excellent underrated hidden gem. I heard about this movie a few years ago, and it's essentially The Lost Boys meets Sinners. You can't find it anywhere, so I was lucky enough to find a Blu ray on eBay and scoop it up. The acting is amazing, and it has that same 80s vampire style as The Lost Boys. The costume design, makeup, and special effects are all great. The story has some familiar vampire ideas, but the movie gives them a darker and more grounded feel. There is a scene in a bar where Bill Paxton especially shines. Lance Henriksen is also sinister and dangerous, giving a fantastic performance. The cinematography makes everything feel real and grounded, which makes the group of vampires feel genuinely dangerous and intimidating. I honestly don't understand why this movie isn't easier to find. It's exactly the kind of hidden gem I love discovering. See more Robert P @Superbad 1 day ago Near Dark = a *4* star Movie!

Can remember someone bursts into flame in daylight. A much closer match, though one I have never seen, is the reflecting skin Philip Ridley, for this sort of thing. Or. It was directly inspired by.

Now, if we can just get more solid werewolf movies besides American Werewolf. See more matthias S @Thescreenasvor Mar 13, 2026 I’d had *Near Dark* on my watchlist for a long time. I’m usually a big fan of Kathryn Bigelow’s work, but this one honestly didn’t feel like her style at all. I kept comparing it to *The Lost Boys* since they’re kinda in the same vampire lane, and yeah… I just like *The Lost Boys* way more. This one felt really slow, and I never connected with the characters—some of them were actually kind of annoying. I get why it has fans, but it just didn’t click for me. In the end I can’t really say I enjoyed it, which was pretty disappointing. See more Read all reviews
