Near Dark
 
What did you all think of this film? I never rented it until recently because the box cover looked kind of cheesy. I never bothered to read it, then I find Paxton and Hendrikson in it. I thought it was a little less a vampyre film than a psycho family type film like TCM or 1000 corpses, but overall I enjoyed it. Lance plays an excellent bad guy, this movie reminded me of another film with him playing a bad guy "Johnny Handsome" I just think his expressions and gestures are funny.

I love this movie. The cast couldn't have better. This is perhaps Lance's best role (you're right about the Johnny Handsome comparisons). The bar scene is a particular favorite.

"I hate it when they ain't been shaved."

Notice that the word the "vampire" is never used.

It's about a cowboy that gets mixed up with a clan of vampires when meets a girl who happens to be undead. She bites him and the clan is forced to take him in. So the guy has to either prove himself to the clan or escape. It's got Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, Adrian Pasdar, and Tim Thomerson. It's a must-see vampire film.

I love this movie. It is the best Vampire movie in my opinion.

They totally "borrowed" their style from Near Dark. That movie was Near Dark meets John Carpenter's Vampires.

Oh, I loved Near Dark. I first watched it when I was 12 or 13, I think. I liked it the first time I saw it. Very cool.
