The Night Flier (1997)


New Line
Directed by Mark Pavia
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, HBO)

Miguel Ferrer is a ruthless tabloid writer who is assigned to cover a story about a serial killer who flies into remote airports. He conflicts with a newly hired girl who also wants the story, and their editor sets them up to compete with each other. The story gets more sinister as the killer appears to actually be a vampire. Ferrer finally confronts him at a small airport which turns into a nightmare scene of a mass killing and zombies. Scathing indictment of tabloids, if a bit too obvious, with Ferrer excellent in his role.
