A different vampire flick.

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2017)

I saw this first in a theatre in 2007. Revisited it recently on a DVD. Bought the dvds of this n the sequel. Its a must watch for horror/vampire movie fans. Very different concept. I cannot recall but i must hav seen one similar concept (vampires in alaska wher the sun doesn't rise for few days). Maybe it was an episode from tales from the crypt. The plot - a group of vampires attacks a small town in northern Alaska in the middle of winter when the sun doesn't rise for 30 days. Scary uh? Well its a very good horror/survival thriller. On a visual level, this is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. There isn't a shot in the film that you wouldn't want to pause and admire. It is fast paced n well acted n directed. There's loads of blood, some flesh eating, lots of heads blown off, plenty of axe wounds, and arm ripped off, and some cut in two with a buzz saw. At times the editing became tedious coz of the fast cuts n shaky stuff which spoiled the action. Nonetheless a different vampire flick.
