I love horror, I enjoy Stephen King's tales, and even enjoy most of the film adaptations (yes....I liked "Maximum Overdrive"). "Night Flier" seems to have all of the pieces in place to be a great horror film, but for some reason it just doesn't quite come together. The idea of a vampire flying around the country to all these podunk air fields, offing his victims is a neat idea. I also liked the idea that only a tabloid along the lines of "The Weekly World News" is onto the vampire's game and sends out their seasoned and cynical reporter to find him. The entire idea of the film is pretty innovative and give a nice twist on a tired horror genre.
I think where things fell apart for me was in the character of Richard Dees played by Miguel Ferrer. Ferrer is great as the sarcastic and evil henchman. I loved his work in "The Stand" and "Robocop", but as the star of "Night Flier" he is so unlikable, we are left with ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting But Too Short
This movie is quite good but it is too short and lacks detail. I want to know how the night flier became the way he is and why he targets certain people. Why does that woman want to be ready to die? Alittle more detail goes a long way. Other than that I would recommend this movie.
Rating: - NIGHT FLYER - Good Made for TV Film and a Great DVD Transfer
When my son purchased Night Flyer for his Steven King collection I really didn't take an interest as it looked like a second rate production. This was based on the appearance of the DVD art work and was an error on my part. One night in a fit of "nothing new" to watch on DVD I watched the film and was pleasantly surprised. I don't think the DVD jacket should have illustrated the creature as poorly as it did. In fact I think that may have hurt sales of this very good DVD.
The story is actually not too bad, original even for King and a well made for TV movie. The DVD transfer was excellent and was filmed in exactly the right 1.85 aspect ratio to fill my large screen HDTV with a clear, crisp and colorful picture that was like a night-out at the movies. It was so clear in fact that I took a second look to see if it was an enhanced DVD, or filmed in Blue Ray.
Rating: - The Night Flier
Bought because it was a Stephen King movie. I'm collecting all his movies and books.
