Plot:After an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.
the movie's premise is vampires being allowed to run amok freely in Alaska during a 30 day period when there is no sun to force them into hibernation during the day.ts simple yet fresh enough to maintain your interest.
the story does not go into too much detail about the leading characters personal lives, nor does it go into too much detail about the vampires themselves.Its plunged strait into action and this lack of characterization, actually helps to strengthen this story.
Despite the Alaska angle the film and the story itself is nothing really original. Even the vampires themselves are nothing we haven't seen before. Black trench coats and a mouthful of fangs, speaking in a foreign tongue with an evil squeal. But it's okay.you've seen it before but that doesn't mean that it's not going to make the movie any less entertaining.
Where this movie is successful is in the fact that it's handled in a very realistic way. Evan; Josh Hartnett's character is a believable and very human sheriff. He doesn't do anything in this movie that doesn't seem plausible, in fact the film has very little cringe moments and hardy any cheesy dialogue.
From beheadings to animal violence, to the slaughter of children, to maniacal misuse of a snow plow, this douses you in blood and suspense.this is an extremely gory movie about vampires killing people and it's thrilling put together very well and does not not rely on cheap tricks to try and thrill the audience.
Some of the shots in this movie are incredible.There's an overhead shot that spans the entire town amidst all of the chaos of the vampire attack and I can honestly say it is breathtaking.
there are some missteps with the film's pacing and some huge leaps of logic in the amount of time that passes between events.for the shear originality of its central conceit, the intensity of the gore, and the haunting quality of many of its signature shots,this gets 3.5/5
