The scene where the badass blood fiends take Caleb to a bar and try to teach him how to kill is enough to slap the flick into the cult classic folder. I really appreciate the different spin on the vampire theme. Another card this film is holding is the directing. This is Kathryn Bigelow s first film and she doesn t hold back. Near Dark excels in everything it seeks to accomplish.
Nothing is left untouched.
We get great actors in this one. She gives a tender and sexy performance. Her puppy dog eyes alone should earn her an Oscar. He brings most of the humor to the film and is very fun to watch. Her character comes across fully with hardly any dialogue impressive.
