《夜间狙击者》以伪纪录片式的新闻调查视角切入，导演约翰·卢埃林·摩西刻意用冷色调的夜景摄影与手持跟拍，将拉斯维加斯的霓虹灯箱转化为一座封闭的猎场。剧情亮点在于把超自然案件嵌入日常办案流程——医院停尸房、沙漠公路旅馆、警察局的官僚扯皮，恐惧从这些角落渗出来。剧情没什么大场面，但细节很妙，比如吸血鬼穿着浴袍在游泳池边吸血，又滑稽又吓人。导演摩西把节奏压得很慢，让观众和记者一起在闷热的夜里干等，等那一声枪响。整部片没直接演血腥画面，可那种大白天街上吸血鬼穿风衣戴墨镜的怪诞感，反而让人后背发凉。达伦·麦克加文饰演的科尔查克，用一副厌倦而警觉的神情撑起全片，与卡洛尔·琳蕾饰演的冷静护士形成微妙张力。

　　Carl Kolchak is a newspaper reporter with an abrasive personality that has gotten him fired ten times from various big-city papers. Now he's reduced to reporting for a relatively small-time paper in Las Vegas. It's here he gets the story of his life. But will the local sheriff, or the D.A., or even his own boss, let him print it? He has an ally in the FBI agent brought in to investigate this strange case. It seems someone is biting the necks of young girls and draining their blood. Can this killer with supernormal powers really be a 70-year-old Rumanian millionaire? Can he really be a vampire? And can an aging reporter do anything to stop him?
