The Night Flier stays fairly true to King’s original short story, but that doesn’t mean that this 1997 adaptation is a good movie. Miguel Ferrer plays tabloid reporter Richard Dees, who attempts to hunt down a serial killer using a small aircraft to travel from town to town—leaving a grisly trail of victims in his wake. Dees soon finds that this is no ordinary criminal, and must also deal with an eager-beaver competitor from his tabloid (Julie Entwisle) who’s trying her hardest to steal his scoop. While the short story’s version of Dees was an unlikeable cynic who finds his worldview shaken by what he finds, the movie’s script (and Ferrer’s flat performance) makes Dees a complete jerk with no redeeming qualities. If you decide to watch The Night Flier, you’ll no doubt find yourself rooting for the vampire to win.
