You're SO lucky I'm not drunk :eek: you would've totally been in abuse city! :p
Near Dark is genius and wipes the floor with the fuckin' Lost Boys :rolleyes: quite possibly one of the greatest films to come out of the 80s. Eric Red is a amazing screenwriter who puts together amazingly dark characterisations. Its a character driven film that doesn't rely on tacky splatter or cheap comic book thrills which is rare for a film of this period. Near Dark was a interesting original spin on the vampire flick and hasn't really been equalled in my opinon. I liked how it didn't use the worn out gothic Stoker conventions that these films are riddled with. In my mind if vampires actually were to exist Near Dark is what the reality of being a creature of the night would be like.
