Because Margaret from the Movie Show said so. Vampire movies are so tainted now by the Twilight series, but this is fucking brilliant. A vampire western by Kathryn Bigelow Near Dark. I enjoy films that play with genre so this is great at mixing massive action explosions, romance, vampires, blood, burning flesh, car chases and kind of feels like a road movie with that ’80s teen movie feel, well with a lot of R rated violence.
