Near Dark, a vampire film set in the contemporary American Midwest, was released in 1987. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the film blends genre conventions, combining gothic tropes with Western, road movie, and film noir elements, while also introducing outlaw romance genre elements. Stacey Abbott's study of the film highlights its genre hybridization, challenging traditional vampire film conventions. The vampires in Near Dark are morally ambiguous, undermining class structures and capturing the allure and horror of the disenfranchised and underclass. The film's success was crucial in consolidating Bigelow's standing as a director of significance early in her career, not just due to her visual art background but also her re-envisioning of other mainstream genres.
