Details

For cynical tabloid journo Richard Dees, facts are always stranger than fiction. Every headline is a dead-line. Serial killers, UFO abductions, tales of molestation, mayhem and murder. To some the tales are mere sleazy fantasy – but his faithful readers believe. And now there's a new story: The Night Flier. What is it that travels by night in a dark-winged Cessna, lands at secluded airfields and murders local residents? Dees begins to track the unknown killer in a Cessna of his own, uncovering clues that reveal a pilot more terrifying than he could have ever imagined.

I'd love it if 99% of the marketing for this movie didn't involve giving away the vampire's appearance, because that wholly original reveal is one of the best parts of _The Night Flier_. _Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go._ ...
