The Night Flier (1997) Revisited – Horror Movie Review

A new episode of our Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at one of the most underrated and underseen Stephen King adaptations, 1997’s The Night Flier (which is going for a high price HERE). To find out why we think you should check out The Night Flier, watch the video embedded above!

Directed by Mark Pavia, who also wrote the screenplay adaptation with Jack O’Donnell, The Night Flier has the following synopsis:

For 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 unbelievable — but his faithful readers believe. And now there’s a new story. The Night Flier. What is it that flies by night in a dark-winged Cessna, lands at secluded airports and brutally murders local residents? Dees begins to follow the unknown killer in a Cessna of his own, uncovering clues that reveal a pilot more terrifying than he could ever have imagined.

The film stars Miguel Ferrer, Julie Entwisle, Dan Monahan, and Michael H. Moses.
