Hey! Cool cape! Wait a minute! You're not Batman! GET AWAY FROM ME!

Leave it to Stephen King to turn a vampire story on it’s ear.  The Night Flier isn’t one of King’s best efforts, nor is it his worst.  In the pantheon of Stephen King horror adaptations, this one, to me, earns a solid “meh”.  That’s not to say that it’s not worth seeing, because it is.  Based mostly on the performance of the lead actor, Miguel Ferrer.  I swear, ThatWeirdGirl made us review this movie because she’s got the hots for him.  Either way, no one plays dickhead like Miguel Ferrer, and here, he plays King’s oft mentioned tabloid reporter Richard Dees.  Dees is on the hunt for someone who thinks he’s a vampire.  This individual is a pilot, and seems to be hitting all the small mom and pop airports along a certain route.  Now, I ask you, does that sound smart?  Nope.  But neither does following someone who drains the blood of their victims.  Not once does it occur to Dees that perhaps he’s tracking an actual vampire (having apparently never read a Stephen King short story or two).  As Dees draws closer, the audience finds that not everything is kosher, and it all leads up to a final scene that’s actual very startingly scary.  I recommend seeing this one.  It drags through the middle a bit, but so does the King story on which it is based.  The ending is worth it.  Give it a rent and have some fun with it.

It’s no secret that I really, really hate Twilight.  I feel it important as a father to say that my children, not so much.  They were more than willing to shoot this parody video for me, which first started written life without them in it, and had a much darker, but equally comic tone.  I’m very proud of both my kids in this one, and once again, the camera caught me as director, bitching at everyone about how terrible their acting was, while blowing every one of my lines and turning in a lackluster performance.  We’re still pretty happy with the finished product, however, and hope you find it as funny as we did.  I present Sonlight.
