'The Night Flier' (1997)  - Mark Pavia.

'Why do all the weird one's want to fly at night?'

Mark Pavia's engaging, exhilaratingly gory, Stephen King adaptation takes flight from the very first outstandingly grisly interlude! Cynical, sleazy tabloid hack, Richard Dees (Miguel Ferrer)somewhat reluctantly investigates the increasingly gruesome slayings of some eerily elusive, perversely plasma pilfering pilot,Dwight Renfield (Michael H. Moss). Relentlessly hunting this broody bloodsucker draws memorably misanthropic protagonist, Dees ever deeper into his very own heart of darkness! Why the well-made, thrillingly splattery 'The Night Flier' should be so frequently overlooked remains entirely baffling to me!!??? 

Simply put, 'The Night Flier' is one hellaciously good, ragu-slathered 90s horror film! While the fine cast's performances are uniformly excellent, with a notably bravura turn from powerhouse, Ferrer, the true stars of the criminally under seen 'The Night Flier' are splatter impresarios KNB's spectacular practical SPFX. While I am aware that, Pavia's 'The Night Flier' maintains a rabid cult following, I still feel that a great many splatter mad hatters have yet to appreciate the dark majesty of airborne parasite, Dwight Renfield. 

'Never a chore, 'The Night Flier' is fuelled with enough audacious gore to make any serious horror fan's heart soar!' - Weirdlingwolf.
