Near Dark is one of my favourite vampire movies tbh, I rewatch it fairly regularly which isn't common for me. The horror + western combo I dig just generally, it is beautifully filmed, & I love Bill Paxton's unhinged energy.

Given this one and Strange Days I wish Bigelow had a couple more films in the weirdo genres!
