#SIMON OAKLAND KOLCHAK VAMPIRE MOVIE#
This resulted in a follow-up 1973 movie and TV series 1974-1975. McGavin really made this film work, and it apparently had the highest viewership of any TV film at the time, which was over 30 million. Daren McGavin is perfectly cast as Carl Kolchak, the journalist that gives his all to figure out the truth no matter how bizarre, and no matter what people will think or say of him. This is another great story by Richard Matheson who wrote I am Legend, some of the Star Trek scripts, and other great TV and movies. He even walks into a hospital and steals it, which also requires him to throw half the staff around the halls and out the windows. This vampire is purely driven by blood, and he kills constantly to get it. He has no dialog, which is much different than the Hammer film vampires with Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi in the 1930's, both of which were centuries old European nobility with plenty to say. The Night Stalker is the first of the physical vampires played by Barry Atwater that actually uses his tremendous strength to fights squads of police and is shot multiple times by them, but overpowers them each time.
The DVD has some great bonus features as well: an interview with the director, a separate run down by a film historian that spans the entire length of the film, and some other discussion. Probably better than what I saw on the TV when I saw this 1972 film at age 7. The description said a 4K transfer, whatever that is. Enhanced in 2018, this movie is now very sharp, vibrant, and has great sound.
