Near Dark had a lot of potential, being a mix between the vampire subgenre and Westerns, and while it had its moments it didn't work that well. The main problem was the romance between the leads; I didn't understand why they would fall in love, having known each other for a matter of days, and the actors didn't have any chemistry whatsoever. The plot also didn't allow for many scenes with only them to develop their relationship, so that really took away from the film. I did really like Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen's performances, though, as they added a bit of comedy as well as killer lines, and the camerawork was pretty good too.
All in all, however, I'm not the biggest fan of Near Dark, but I can see why it was so popular.
