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.
