Is nothing sacred? Well, no... I already knew that.Katherine Bigelow's 1987 vampire genre bender NEAR DARK has just been re-issued on DVD in the US. Sounds like good news right? Except that the shameful DVD distributor has re-designed the cover art to mirror TWILIGHT. As many of you would know the two films could not be more disparate. Its kind of like when the recent Swedish vampire film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN was marketed as being 'for those who enjoyed Twilight'. If any 14 yr old girls took that advise, the cleaners in those cinemas would have had their work cut out for them.
Its apparent who the real blood suckers are.
True dat GW.
ReplyDeleteI love Katherine Bigelow. "Strange Days" has still got to be one of the best action(esque) flicks around.
The new poster for this film makes me want to go nowhere near it.
