"A GREAT KING FILM ALL THE WAY THROUGH"
I AM A BIG KING FAN AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE NIGHT FLIER IS A REALLY GOOD DARK FILM. THIS ONE IS WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

"Waste of time"
This movie was only slightly better than staring at a wall. If that's all you have to do, then by all means, pop this in your player and waste some time, because that's what this was for me. Anbody that gives this a favorable review, does not know good.

"Very disappointing!"
I adore Stephen King but, this film was horrible. I am not sure if Stephen King wrote the screenplay adaptation. It was a ridiculous plot that a "vampire" rode around the country looking for his victims in a cessna plane. I will file this one away as one not to watch again.

"Tabloid Terror..."
Richard Dees (Miguel Ferrer) is a ghoul. No, he's not a supernatural grave-robber, he's another type altogether. Dees is a reporter for the notoriously tasteless, "Inside View" tabloid; A paper filled w/ outrageous stories, complete w/ photos capturing the very worst of humanity. Dees is the best in his field, able to cover any story, no matter how gruesome or base it may be. He just might be the most jaded news-hound alive! Enter the NIGHT FLIER, a serial-killing, mass-murdering fiend, the likes of which has only existed in Dees' twisted dreams. Until now. Dees gets the assignment of his career, to follow the Flier's blood-trail, wherever it may lead. This monster is no joke. He (it) has left no survivors in his wake. He lands his black Cesna Skymaster at tiny airfields, slaughtering anyone unlucky enough to be there. Dees starts out in typical cynical fashion, but soon realizes that things are way out of control. Especially after the Flier finds out he's being stalked by this would-be detective! THE NIGHT FLIER is nice and dark, with a menacing bloodsucker who is brutal, animalistic, and far from elegant. There's NO romanticized vampire here! This is a true beast, with a special little surprise for his tracker! If you like movies like THE NIGHT STALKER or NEAR DARK, then this could be the perfect latenight treat...

"The Best Horror Film Ever Made"
The thing about the 1980s, is Europe was helping us Americans out. In the 90s you wanted something right here, right now. This decade, you want something even worse right here right now. These VHS tapes replaced drive in theaters for a sizable percentage of the American population, which went hand in hand with a Lutheran religion. This movie is the best horror film ever made, about an updated vampire stalking victims. Take a closer look at the box cover artwork- it's making fun of them. They did a lousy job at updating gothic unless it was religous affiliated. Anything 80s had to go in movies, so they changed this so it's more Amish oriented. Using that word Amish, most Amish don't even have TVs, and some branches permit them to drive cars, but it's the happy nature of tithing at church that this horror film doesn't aim to depress, and is much more upbeat like at the end when the vampire unmasks he is in fact an Amish or Lutheran style pilgrim Christian. These Mormons need to wake up, Lutheran and Baptist at 60 million a piece in churches alone is the dominant driving force behind America along with the Catholics big all around the world. My grandparents are Catholic and they still don't even made a CD player or a VCR or DVD. So, hats off to the makers of this film, the best horror has to offer. Anything evil i this film comes from the old school nature of the Lutheran and Catholic faiths, which Lutheran came from Catholic. The R rating is for mature content, not foul language. They want a G rating on everything, and I mean everything. My pastor said about R rated movies, it's fine as long as it's not foul language. Amen, praise the lord.
