ricochet93-369-308802 Absolutely brilliant. It does a great job of bringing the graphic novel to life. The score is eerie and amazing. Perfectly paced, It's survival horror at its best. Josh Hartnet shines as Eb.

nowego Surprisingly good, but not a movie that would be considered a classic. However this does stand above a lot of the more mediocre Vampire movies that have been made.It almost entirely relies on atmosphere, the coldness of the nomadic vampires is only matched by the Alaskan wilderness. The story works quite well, especially as there is never really any back story to tell where the vampires actually come from. The ending is quite well done and because it isn't really a happy ending I count it as a plus. Happy endings seem to be the go and having one that is not so happy is a welcome change. The movie is let down by some of the acting, which, if better might have made this a classic.Very much worth a watch if you like Vampire movies.

paulclaassen Awesome scenery. Great atmosphere. Great premise and setting. This was really freaky! There is just so much happening within the first 20 minutes of this film alone that one doesn't even get a chance to catch your breath. There's no false scares here; these are all REAL scares. It was genuinely frightening at times, also thanks to incredible make-up effects. As the film progressed, it also became action-packed with nail biting suspense. This was easily one of the most interesting and exciting vampire films I've seen. One thing, though, why did the vampires resort to seemingly senseless killing instead of just quenching their thirst? Or did they intend killing as many as possible as food stock? But then the blood doesn't stay fresh. Just a thought, but otherwise the film was quite a thrill-ride!

pantagruella A very satisfying film with a good location.I like sheriff films exploring one man's responsibility for a community. Such films do show us something of a close-knit community. There is a positive attitude to people even in a horror film.I usually prefer the slow build up in the first half of a film like 30 Days. I think film delivers in both halves.The antagonists here are from the top drawer. Not people you want to meet in a dark alley even if you're armed with a pointed stick.The film has a neat ending. It's of a kind you sometimes come across. The film Pumpkinhead comes to mine. Then there's the excellent Dust Devil.There's a prequel and a sequel but they don't come close to this modern day myth.
