I have probably seen Alien (1979) a hundred times. I actually saw Aliens years before Alien, but after I saw Alien it became my favorite in the series, even though Aliens is still awesome. Yes, I would recommend both films. Near Dark (1987) is an excellent film by Kathryn Bigelow (known for her direction of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty). I believe this was her directorial debut. She definitely did an excellent job. The story was very interesting and like films such as, Interview with the Vampire there is a great deal of focus on the vampires (a specific group of them). The film makes you both resent and feel sympathy for them, in my opinion. The acting is equally as great. An all-around great film. In fact, now that I think of it, I would actually rate it 10/10. Highly recommend it. As for Castle Freak, it is a B-movie from Full Moon (they did the Puppetmaster series), so keep that in mind. With that being said, there is an interesting story and some pretty good acting (especially Jeffrey Combs). So, yes I would recommend that. Of those two films, I will say that you NEED to see Near Dark. You can see Castle Freak, but there is not as urgent a need as Near Dark. As for American Psycho 2, I personally, liked it. It is not anywhere as good as the first one (which is a pretty brilliant film), but still pretty good (or at least entertaining), in my opinion. William Shatner is especially interesting in this film.
