    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Future husband James Cameron suggested to Bigelow that she use the ready-made ensemble cast from his recent hit Aliens - Paluu (1986), and thus Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, and Jenette Goldstein all appear in Bigelow's film. Michael Biehn had also appeared in Aliens and was considered, but declined to participate.
    • Goofs
      When Homer brings Sarah to the hotel room, it is night time, and Sarah makes reference to how late everyone is staying up. A minute later, Severen goes out and gets Loy, and it is still night. Two minutes later, when the Coltons flee the room, it is broad daylight out.
    • Quotes

      Sarah Colton: Boy, you people sure stay up late.

      Severen: We keep odd hours.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK version released on video in 1988 was missing 14 secs of BBFC cuts:
      • Diamondback opening and closing a butterfly knife repeatedly before slitting the barmaid's throat
      • Jesse and Severen putting the barman's body on the bar and smashing bottles of spirits over and around him to fuel the fire while Severen quips "Hey, bartender salad".

    A Modern American Horror Story
    A real gem of a film which deserved a lot more credit than it ever received. Director Kathryn Bigelow went on to produce Aliens and direct Blue Steel and Point Blank, while writer Eric Red went on to direct the brilliant but rarely-glimpsed Coen and Tate, an equally dark movie. In this stylish tale of modern-day vampires, gothic horror is mixed with modern-day American society. The hero, Caleb, is plunged into a shadowy world of immortal vampires that exists just below the ordinary world as the bad guys imitate modern mortals to hunt their prey. With atmospheric music by German techno-band Tangerine Dream, an impressive and evocative horror film with the added attraction that it features my favourite actress, Jenny Wright!
