Academy Award winner Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) made her first mark with this quintessentially American, vamp-western-biker hybrid that has emerged as a horror classic. Caleb meets the mysterious Mae over an ice cream cone and a passionate kiss, which soon infects him with a craving for blood. With her makeshift family of nomadic, punk-styled vampires, they traverse the flat plains of the Midwest in railroad cars and stolen Winnebagos-an ideal canvas for Tangerine Dream, who contributed one of its longest and best scores for this film.
