"One of the better vampire films."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

4/4
"a perverse, penetrating vision of modern vampirism in which the word vampire is never mentioned"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

-2 out of -4..+4
"The scenes of the bullying are long and violent and bloody and boring."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

"[A]n intense film, an eerie depiction of the isolated, empty middle of America... surprisingly haunting..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

A
"There isn't a movie out there that feels quite like Near Dark; it seems to personify its subject matter even as it transcends it."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

"Near Dark is both ferocious and lyrical, a moody horror film with the frontier community romanticism of a John Ford Western and the violent ferocity of a Sam Peckinpah film."  MSN.com  Sean Axmaker

"A treat for horror fans"  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Shane Burridge

4/4
"Near Dark remains Kathryn Bigelow's best film, suffused with style and anarchy that has an unerring feel for the irregular pulse of a very particular place and time."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
