Near Dark

Unfortunately I’ll need to be counted out of the mystifying cult following that’s developed for this, though it seems there’s a general consensus (that I *will* include myself in) that praises its style, and even Tangerine Dreamy atmosphere that at least creates a vivid world for its story to play out in – it’s just a shame that character motivations (and even consistency with its brand of vampire lore) are a complete muddle; having Henriksen and Paxton around is always an asset, but Paxton has nothing to push against as he goes further and further over-the-top, and some of the baffling decisions Henriksen’s character makes undermine his status as resident “bad-ass”. Borrows much from Cameron, but lacks his story-telling strengths.
