  • Near Dark (1987)
    May 29 2024

    Oklahoma cowboys may be a dime a dozen, but ones that are eternal and nocturnal? Katheryn Bigelow's Near Dark covers that territory with what may be the only vampire western. The film features an amazing cast (Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, Jenette Goldstein) and score (Tangerine Dream), and Dan and Jon have some thoughts on how it could be properly brought back.
