"Farmer's son Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) meets seductive Mae (Jenny Wright) on a lonely night and finally offers her to drive her home. When he asks for a kiss, she bites him and runs away. Since his car gives up the ghost, Caleb heads home on the footpath. His skin starts to burn at dawn. At the last second he is saved by Mae and her group of family nomads. Night after night, Jesse (Lance Henriksen), Mae and the others (including Bill Paxton) go out to quench the thirst for blood that enables them to live forever. Caleb is horrified, tries to escape his fate because he has long since turned into one of them. His own survival depends on himself becoming a killer - if Mae's family doesn't destroy him first!
Pray for daylight because night has its price!
The impressive directorial debut of Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") revolutionized an entire horror subgenre and combined hard western images in neo-noir aesthetics with the spherical sounds of the German band Tangerine Dream. Terrific cast with Adrian Pasdar ("Heroes") as well as the ALIENS family Lance Henriksen ("Hard Goals"), Jenette Goldstein ("Terminator 2") and Bill Paxton ("Demonic"), "Near Dark" became one of the most influential vampire films of all times."
