Here's my review from October that you 'liked'.
Nomads (1986)
Leslie Anne Down stars as a nurse bitten by a raving dying patient (Pierce Brosnan) and is haunted by psychic images of the man's past showing him moving into a new LA home that was frequented by Nomads - evil spirits in human form who wander the deserts of the earth.
The feature debut of director John McTiernan is an enigmatic film that cross cuts between Brosnan's persecution and hunt for the spirits and Down's psychic breakdown. The spirits lead by Adam Ant take the form of a motorcycle gang that wreak havoc and kill during the dark Californian nights.
It's all rather gripping and mysterious stuff, lacking gore or anything particularly horrific it all plays out with a weird atmosphere of dread under the LA lights. Brosnan is excellent, even his French accent isn't too distracting and the non-linear story never becomes confusing and works very well to create a nicely effective film.
Nomads is a film i've seen a few times now and it never bores. Would make a terrific double bill with Wolfen (1981)
