Near Dark is the 1987 cult vampire favorite from acclaimed genre director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Point Break, Blue Steel, K9: The Widowmaker) featuring a cast of popular character actors and offering a clever new take on the vampire legend. Caleb (Adrian Pasdar, Carlito's Way) is a young cowboy who meets the girl of his dreams one night out in the desolate country town he lives in. Named Mae, she has a beatific pale complexion and an air of mystery that's hard to resist. When on their date, she bites him during their necking and randomly runs off; Caleb begins wondering who he just shared the evening with. This is revealed when walking home, he is abducted by a 'tribe' of wild 'outlaws' that Mae is a part of ' that are in fact a group of roving modern day vampires ' which Caleb is now slowly becoming as well, thanks to Mae's bite. The clan decides to give the boy a shot and see if he will make it into their dark fold.moreless
