Near Dark is a movie that's best described as an American vampire/Western horror film. It was released in 1987, and it is set - miraculously - near my home town in Oklahoma.
That kind of thing never happens.
It's been a memorable movie for me, even though I haven't seen it in a bit. I need to take care of that, actually, but I highly recommend checking it out. These vampires are ruthless drifters, and the mundane and rather grungy western setting makes for a nice twist to the usual mythos. Lance Henrikson plays the vampire leader - his performance alone is worth a viewing. Oh... and Adrian Pasdar is the young lead. HOW FUNNY. I had no idea.
Have a Rotten Tomatoes Review (it gets a 93%) and fansite with more info on the concept.
