Near Dark (1987) is an American film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, co-scripted by Bigelow and Eric Red.
It's a Western/vampire genre hybrid, in which the word "vampire" is never used.
The story follows a young man who falls in with a nomadic family of vampires, and tries to escape becoming one of them, while his new girlfriend (one of the vampires) attempts to teach him to survive as a vampire, now that she has bitten him but allowed him to survive.
The film was part of a renewal of the vampire genre, along with The Lost Boys and Fright Night.
