Mel Destroyed This Movie. This series could have gone on and on- but that actor which played Mel pretty much killed this series. Someone please tell her shes not beautiful enough to act as poorly as she does

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

An enjoyable late night horror with strong acting performances and enough mystery to make you keep watching. The sentimental score gives the film a dream-like quality that lingers on the mind after it ends.

De la mente de Stephen King, esta ya sería el segundo relato de vampiros que Stephen ha escrito después de Salem's Lot. Esta película se pudo haber hecho de forma independiente, pero se aferra bastante al material original. La película es bastante ingeniosa, con una buena dirección y un guion inteligente, presentando toda una historia de misterio, preparando al espectador para lo que viene al final. Los efectos especiales son buenos, en especial el maquillaje del vampiro que es asombroso. Las actuaciones son bastante creíbles y la que más se destaca es la de Miguel Ferrer que logra traernos un Richard Gees bastante despreciable y egocéntrico. The Night Flier es una buena película con bastante originalidad y otra respetable adaptación de Stephen King. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10.

If it had a budget it could have been good. The effects suck but Miguel Ferrer especially makes it work.

An absolute classic, it's got the right ingredients for a good vampire movie. I would have wanted a bit more out of the story, but at the same time it becomes this cryptic thing that is hard to grasp, much like how you'd expect from an underworld of blood sucking creatures with an intelligence very conscious about not wanting to be detected. Forever lingering in the dark and feeding off the human livestock and always on the move. Night Flier and Queen of the damned is my absolute favorites of all time when it comes to vampire movies.

Variety

Creepy vampire tale that also offers some clever commentary on bloodthirsty tabloid journalists.

New York Times

A thuddingly blunt contemporary morality tale devoid of wit and only minimally suspenseful.
