60 of 193 · most liked firstRIP Adam Greenberg He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:
neutral · AI labelView post →Recently my family was away for the weekend and I had myself a big ol physical media film festival for one. Over two days I watched Thief, Slacker, Singin In The Rain, The Piano, Malcolm X, Near Dark and Wild At Heart. That was one great freaking weekend.
positive · AI labelView post →Kathryn Bigelow's solo directorial debut, Near Dark, entered wide release on this date in 1987. I was fortunate enough to catch The Lost Boys and this film in the theater within a couple of months of each other. #filmsky #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →NEAR DARK is still the best American vampire film. It rejects most European/gothic tropes and rewrites the vampires as purely American myth figures: bikers, cowboys, traveling serial killers, Civil War soldiers, and gangsters.
positive · AI labelView post →Hearing @synapsefilms.bsky.social is doing a 4K of NEAR DARK? I would like to help in any way you would like me to help including staying the fuck away from it. Commentary, booklet, anything. Was a time, I was going to write a book about this film. It's one of the key films of my life.
positive · AI labelView post →Just saw SINNERS. Move over Lost Boys, Dusk Till Dawn, Salem's Lot, Near Dark, Dracula, 30 Days of Night, Let The Right One In, etc. all. What a phenomenal film. Deserves to be seen in theaters with a good sound system. Don't wait for streaming.

Unsure if this applies to worldwide rights or just in the UK. MORE INFO TBA #Horror #HorrorMovie #Movie #Movie #Cinema #FilmSky Via JoelGoodsen
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight, I was party to a discussion on whether LOST BOYS, NEAR DARK, or FRIGHT NIGHT was the best vampire film, and I took solace in the fact that, regardless of outcome, they're all really gay. (Complimentary)
neutral · AI labelView post →Wildly disagree with the idea that Bigelow’s output got better instead of actively worse following Strange Days. Near Dark is the best movie she ever did.
positive · AI labelView post →Near Dark (1987) Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a horror movie title that begins with the letter “N” 🎥 N is for… ‘Near Dark’ (1987) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Talking about Near Dark on here last night has me thinking of the bar scene. It is such a perfect jewel of cinema. There's no way to describe what it does more succinctly than just watching it. It exists outside of time, outside of the film its from -- just it's own small world of dread and mood.
positive · AI labelView post →Bats, my tremere. Can someone identify the reference? It's one of my favorite vampire movies. Bats favorite vampire movie is Lost Boys, but if you ask her, she will say it's Near Dark
neutral · AI labelView post →…and yes, I immediately thought of the movie Sinners. 😬 There was a moment earlier where I’d thought of the movie Near Dark. Yeah, I was just generally scared the whole second half of the walk, lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →anyway, I wasn't trying to put Coogler in an "Exceptional Black box" or assert that he wasn't in conversation with his peers. I just meant that I liked Sinners, & Coogler is one of my favorite working filmmakers right now. I haven't seen a vampire movie this cool since Near Dark, Cronos, Blade 1 & 2
neutral · AI labelView post →Near Dark is a great vampire film about a young man who falls for a woman who ends up turning him into a vampire and gets him to join her cult like vampire family.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching NEAR DARK (1987). Director: Kathryn Bigelow. Adrian Pasdar, Bill Paxton. Long before winning a Best Director Oscar for HURT LOCKER, Bigelow served up this stylish vampire western. Longtime fave. #filmsky 📽 #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Some people asked about Sinners and here's my position: Sinners a vampire film but not genre film, which Near Dark certainly is. Sinners uses vampires as a metaphor for the European invasion and oppression & uses all the gothic tropes. Sinners is a great American film, not just a great vampire movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I just listened to a podcast about Near Dark. According to Lance Henriksen, among others, Eric Red's script reads like poetry--he's right, it does. That encouraged him to do the film (plus, the chance to reunite with a few pals from Alien, but that's another story).

unlabelledView post →Obsessed with a lot of things in Sinners but specifically Jack O'Connell having the swag of Bill Paxton in Near Dark and the anti-colonial contempt of James Frecheville in Black '47. A horror movie lives and dies via its villains, and he's a great one.

unlabelledView post →3. Near Dark (1987). Still the best film about blood-drinking outlaw revenants which never says the V word. As American as serial killing.
unlabelledView post →Not a bad movie, but underrated: Near Dark. When people talk ‘80s vampires, it’s always Lost Boys, Fright Night and The Hunger. Near Dark blows them all out of the water.
