And it actually works.
Feeling very much like a two-hander stage play, the movie has a great intimacy to it with a lot of philosophical intrigue to the areas of conversation that arise. Despite the leads looking about as Reaganomics in the most evocatively vintage way; their metaphysical topics of discourse are universal and timeless. ("What does the sun look like?") How I missed this growing up in the era of The Lost Boys and Fright Night I will never know.
It isn't all claustrophobic undead chat with neon lights, arcade games and plasma globes though. Their struggle of a forced first date does take a midnight excursion to the beach.
The movie also has an ending.
