“It ain’t what’s goin’ on, it’s what’s comin’ off. Your face. Clean off.”
Long out of print on DVD/Blu-ray and unavailable to even stream, we’ve learned today that Kathryn Bigelow‘s vampire-western masterpiece Near Dark is coming to Shudder!
The 1987 film takes a bite out of Shudder on July 1.
With incredible performances from Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen, a mesmerizing score by Tangerine Dream, and a one-of-a-kind vibe, Kathryn Bigelow’s film is not just one of the best vampire movies ever made, but one of the best horror films *period* to come out of the 1980s. The film has always been a bit more under the radar than The Lost Boys (which was released in the very same year), but here’s hoping its return to streaming – coupled with an upcoming restoration from UK company StudioCanal – introduces it to a whole new audience of fans.
Personally speaking, it’s one of my favorite horror movies ever made. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for one hell of a treat. I only wish I could watch it for the first time again!
In Near Dark, which was written by Eric Red (The Hitcher), “A small-town farmer’s son reluctantly joins a traveling group of vampires after he is bitten by a beautiful drifter.”
The ensemble cast of vampires and humans in Near Dark also includes Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Jenette Goldstein, Joshua John Miller, Tim Thomerson, and James Le Gros.
