It's a shame this film is so hard to track down on streaming services, especially when its reputation has steadily grown since its release. Near Dark is a fave of mine, and I used to teach it in my intro to film analysis class. I even wrote about it back in March, if you're so inclined! https://materialghosts.substack.com/p/six-shots-near-dark-1987
IS a vampire existence repetitive? I mean, you can go wherever you want, eat different people all the time. I guess you have to maintain a strict schedule, that could be repetitive. I gotta think about this. In my cave. While hanging upside down.

This film rules
It do!
This is one of my favorite OG vampire movies, the love story and Bill Paxton!!!!
Paxton is just so good in this!
Also one of the very few vampire movies in which no one ever says the word “vampire.”
Yes! I just love that.

I think that’s what makes this movie so interesting and tragic! They could do “anything” but they are in the Texas panhandle - roasting in the sun.
