Underrated mainly because of an underrated actor....

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2008)

In Alaska for 30 days, sun light is absent and in this darkness; the creatures of the dark arrive to feast. Based on a comic book, the movie brings the comic book feel with gory scenes and special effects.
Josh Hartnett is a talented actor but is underrated mainly because of his good-looks and shy personality; he plays a sheriff, brother and husband. Another actor who is underrated is Ben Foster; here he is known as the Stranger who creates a sinister vibe of what is yet to come.
The scenery is amazing and shows just lonely the Alaska landscape is and sends a chill down ones back when you think of the plot, of the movie. As the film progresses the theme becomes clear, its survival.The camera work is brilliant as the audience sees the massacre that is taking place in the town that is defenceless against the Vampires. The scenes in the whiteout is perfect it shows that the humans may not have super strength but they have one thing, logic...The most deadliest weapon of all.
A good horror movie to watch.
