Before "the Lost Boys," before "Near Dark," and long before "True Blood" and "Twilight," this was the film that took the best parts of the old tropes right towards the 21st century.
Holland shows his love of the genre with every scene. The writing and direction are superb, the editing is perfect, and the cast can't be beat! Chris Sarandon might be the all-time best "vampire next door" ever, as no one could have done what he did with this role. The rest of the cast is outstanding too - with not one weak link.
Add to all the an amazing soundtrack, and some standout special effects, and you've got yourself a winner.
80's classic? Check! Horror classic? Yep! One of the best vampire movies ever made? Absolutely!
