Near Dark (1987)
1987 | Horror, Mystery, Western
Cult horror from Bigelow and the supporting cast of Aliens boldly reinvents the vampire movie by dumping all the gothic trappings (coffins, crucifixes, bats) and tapping into more contemporary fears: the movie's band of wandering killer rednecks would be frightening even if they weren't vampires.

Genuinely unsettling, very influential: to be honest the leads are less memorable than the character turns from Henriksen, Paxton and Goldstein, but you go to watch a vampire movie for the vampires, don't you? Works just as well as a western, in its own way, too. The movie that The Lost Boys dreams of being when it grows up.

A hilarious mockumentary
This is by far one of the funniest mockumentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s a hilarious take on vampires, following them around their daily lives in the run up to the Unholy Masquerade, it has some cracking one liners and truly funny scenes. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are fantastic, and the rest of the cast too play their roles perfectly. The rivalry between the vampires and the werewolves is a particular highlight. The dialogue is great and the entire film looks fabulous too. I’ve watched this again for the first time in years, and I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.

Mills & Boon meets fantasy and VAMPIRES!
As a fan of reading the short Mills & Boon books as a divider between larger more intense novels, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. This was Mills and Boon meets fantasy and vampires, a brilliant page turner, demolished in just over an hour.
Not reading the previous stories in the Valorian Chronicles, I was not familiar with the characters but this did not effect the enjoyment of book.
If you like fantasy and mass market paperback romance, you will certainly enjoy this. Be aware that the adult scenes are not your standard "cute" romance.

Yes!!

What a brilliant start to what looks to be an awesome new series!

The Voinico's Daughter has everything you need to hook you into this cracking world of vampires, mystery and family dynamics. From high school to high profile, Nicoleta has a lot of adjusting to do and with some very powerful vampires to deal with learning the "trade" becomes even more if a priority.
    I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to read this and I can't wait for the next installment.......I'm so impatient!! This is definitely a box of chocolates worthy, add in comfy pajamas and you'll be transported to Romania in luxury.

I am a huge fan of this show and the first season was close to the best season. Introduction to the characters of Angel and relearning about buffy and her Scooby gang was great.

Angel was my favourite episode and it really got me hooked onto the show
