Where is my Blu Ray might be a better question? This cover is an example of why Hollywood screws it up so often (and for not getting Jenny Wright naked in Near Dark.)

Near Dark is nearly a perfect movie so I suppose if a new generation has to find it like this I can live with it but I'd still like to punch whoever came up with this idea.

That's the best laugh I've had in a while. You're a good man, Swarez.

Lionsgate: because the Weinstein Company might go out of business at any moment, and someone has to stink up the joint.

If you squint, you can almost see the other actors.

Now I'm waiting for the TrueBlood cover release of Let The Right One In. Grrr.

Oh Christ. It's like someone shitting on my soul.

I'll tolerate it on the hopes that it will get some people to watch a REAL vampire movie.

Bill Paxton=Teen heart throb

Wow that's shameless!

I like how they managed to make Adrian Pasdar & whatshername look nothing like they do in the film. . .
I guess it was either this, or another Saw-style poster.

Lionsgate...they know not what they do

I first thought this was for the remake, and then I started to pay attention.

Oh. My. God...

I'm with Digitalfantastique - if it helps this underrated gem find a wider audience, why not? And where is my Blu Ray?

"This ranks right up there with Transmorphers. Only Transmorphers might actually be, you know, halfway decent…"

I take it that you don't know Near Dark then or that it is 25 years old and kicks fucking ass.

Swarez, is this one of your posters?

(Ducks and RUNS !!!!!) ;-)

Yuck! And it looks like the DVD is bare bones, dumping all the extras that were on the previous Anchor Bay editions.

Sweet lord Enis, that is one piss poor BTLC cover.

One day my dream of owning a custom footy BTLC shirt will become reality.

Jacks shirt design as an embroidered patch, pork chop express as the sponsor and LO PAN as the name on the back.

THE DREAM!!

Yeah. I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out. In which case, that's a really shameful cover image.

Why, yes..."we" are, xino...u'wanna come to the tea party too? LOL... That's what "we" do right, LOL?...;)

O.K. after watching Near Dark again I have to say I was "In a Mood" at the time, it might have been Joshua Millers performance....I don't care that he was 15 at the time, it was awful. That aside you are right Swarez, it does kick ass, I would recommend this to friends afraid to jump in to the current Hollywood vampire trend which I find boring, idiotic and condescending...what vampire needs a sword or an automatic weapon?

...aside from the atrocious cover what is different about this release?...other that Dolby 5.1 I cant find any difference than other releases, which also contain Dolby 5.1...anything?
