Near Dark

Near Dark (1987)
Dir: Kathryn Bigelow

A young man reluctantly joins a family of travelling vampires after he is bitten and starts to become one of them.
Stylish and cleverly written twist on the typical vampire movie. The cast are all excellent and Bill Paxton in particular is a riot as the crazed Severen. It's stunningly shot and incredibly atmospheric, which suits the story perfectly. A novel idea that is impressively directed.
