For cynical tabloid journo Richard Dees, facts are always stranger than fiction. Every headline is a dead-line. Serial killers, UFO abductions, tales of molestation, mayhem and murder. To some the tales are mere sleazy fantasy – but his faithful readers believe. And now there's a new story: The Night Flier. What is it that travels by night in a dark-winged Cessna, lands at secluded airfields and murders local residents? Dees begins to track the unknown killer in a Cessna of his own, uncovering clues that reveal a pilot more terrifying than he could have ever imagined.

The Night Flier
What is it with Miguel Ferrer having homoerotic scenes in public toilets? I do feel like they could've done more with this but it did introduce me to one of my favourite songs and the last twenty or so minutes go so hard. The first time I watched this I had a nightmare the night or a few days before where everything went black and white during the dream so got really freaked out when this suddenly shifted into black and white. I really love the entire 'dream' sequence with the vampires attacking him. I was also very pleasantly surprised with how good the special effects were when I first watched it.

The Night Flier
Even less action than I was afraid of but still pretty entertaining.
The first two acts are pretty much just an investigation and a fairly intruiging and original one, a fine protagonist even though he’s an asshole.
The third act had the coolest scenes but still lacking in any actual conflict.
The night flier himself both looks and sounds great, just sad how little we get of him.
So much left unexplained but I still liked the ending.
