Watched NEAR DARK last night. First time since I saw it at the theater in 1987. It's directed by James Cameron's EX, Kathryn Bigelow, so you had to know it would be different, and it is. It stars a young Bill Paxton and Lance Henrikson, and a couple of other names you may not know, but will recall when you see their faces. I won't say much here other than urge you to see this one if you like horror with a twist, particularly on vampires. No fangs or garlic or crucifixs in this. These folks are what real vampires would be like... if vampires were real.
Most of this film is shot at night, but the picture quality is excellent. It has both a DD 5.1 and a DTS track. I played the DTS track and felt the sound was just not up to scratch. Very little low end, but it sure sounded good when Tangerine Dream background music kicked in.
This film has become a cult favorite, and a must own for serious collectors.
The ending of this baby is a bit of a stretch, but if you've bought the rest of the story, you'll accept this.
BTW, this is a 2 disc set from Anchor Bay. I haven't watch the EXTRA disc yet, but am looking forward to it.
