The 'Night Flier' was horrible, just flat out bad. It had no 'pulse', and when it began to show faint signs of life, it 'died'. Miguel Ferrer was unbearable to watch as the lead in the film. He was so nasty and mean, I do not see how anyone could feel any remorse for his character at the end of the film. He was a total jerk. He was annoyingly bad. The scene at the end of the film that ripped off George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" showed promise, but failed to deliver. The vampire was one of the stupidest looking creatures I have ever seen. A giant rubber head, come on. It's hands looked like they were purchased at K-Mart, and the cape looked like it was purchased from Wal-Mart. And the film failed to answer many questions about the vampire. The producers seemed to have expected that whoever watched it already knew everything there was to know about the vampire. The one thing I still cannot figure out about this film is (other than who want to fund this movie) how in the wide world of lousy horror did not one person escape from the airport slaughter that takes place in the film (of course you do not get to see it happen). Come on, at least one person could get away, but not a one. That vampire killed about 50 people. I thought the blood of one person would be enough to satisfy a vampire, but not this one. It had to have a lot of blood. When you finally see the airport carnage, the shock factor was weak. But oh well, the movie was lame. As for all these people that thought this film was good, I just cannot figure it out. If you want to see a good horror film, you should not watch this or 'Scream', or any trendy prep-filled sorry excuses for a horror film. You should check out the original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead", "Carnival of Souls", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Evil Dead" (1 and 2).
