Long after the picture ends, you're left with potent half-images: strong-but-vague impressions that resemble the remains of dreams.

There's a ghastly humor in all this, and Bigelow brings it out without overindulging it. Faced with a nearly repulsive subject, she makes the blood flow inside it, stream out over the cuts.
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times

Near Dark has filmmaking finesse to spare, but puts its dank characters on display rather than cadging sympathy for them. It is the Blue Velvet of date-night spook shows.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

This is on the whole a striking directorial debut, at once scary and erotic, with lots of sidelong touches in the casting, direction, and script.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

High-powered but pared down, slick but spare, this is a tale that introduces the unearthly into the banality of rural American existence.
