It's been a while since we've seen a GOOD vampire film - none of that Twilight sparkley shit. This one is particularly good in the way the vampires are portrayed - pretty fucking ugly with decaying teeth and nails, and creepy eyes. Nothing like Interview with a Vampire where you wouldn't mind Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise having a nibble! A pack of them descend upon a town in the arctic circle, where once a year there is 30 days of darkness, allowing them to raid the town to quench their blood-thirst. Survivors, including Josh Hartnett, attempt to hide throughout the month until the sun comes up, giving you survival-suspense seekers a thrill. Moderately gruesome and jumpy; it's worth a watch!
I watched this one last weeked. I have to say I was impressed and surprised I even liked it. I really enjoyed listening to the high piercing sound the vamps made and tried to duplicate it. I couldn't get that high. All the vampires had a gothic look to them, harking back from their old life from Transylvania, I guess. Their storyline was interesting as well. Yes, 4 stars from me.
