Canadian Near Dark Screening!

By Matt Serafini
February 6th, 2010

When Near Dark originally hit theaters, it really struggled to find an audience. Now, you lucky Canadian residents are going to have the opportunity to experience a 35mm screening this coming March - thanks to the excellent Metro Cinema in Edmonton, Canada!

Catch the vampire masterpiece on Friday, March 26th. The doors will open at 9PM and damn if I don't wish I was an Edmonton resident right about now.

Meet the Hooker clan – Jesse, Severn, Homer, and Diamondback. They’re not your typical lovelorn,sparkly teenage angsty creatures of the night. They’re outlaws, but driven by a lust for blood, not gold. When Caleb, a young farm hand, crosses paths with Jesse’s gang, he’s unwittingly recruited into their ranks. Now driven by an insatiable hunger, and taken on a cross country killing spree by his new “family”, Caleb must decide whether to fight the clan and reclaim his humanity, or remain a member of the undead for eternity. Starring Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Millennium), and Bill Paxton (Aliens, Big Love). Presented in 35mm.

Check out the Metro's official site for more information. And check out the groovy theatrical trailer to remember just how cool the original film is.
