Near Dark

I'm glad to see that Near Dark has enough clout these days to merit a BFI Classic. It's a great film, and Abbott's monograph does a skilful job of illuminating it. It's a short book, but it covers a lot of ground, from diving into the (excellent) cinematography to the ambiguities of the characters, without leaving us feeling shortchanged. It made me want to watch the film with fresh eyes, and you can't really ask more than that from one of these, can you?
