Probably the best vampire film of the 1980s. Excellent performances from the entire cast, especially Bill Paxton. His turn as Severin is brutal and chilling, while also darkly humorous. Lance Henrikson is great as Jesse Hooker. The entire cast is excellent. Brutal, dark, and fortunately missing many of the trappings of 80's cinema.
