When the sun goes down

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2007)

In a little town in Alaska, the people are waiting the annual month without the sun. You can imagine the rest, is the perfect scenery for a group of vampires and now the sheriff in town (Harnett) is going to protect the people of the town.
Based on a three-issue miniseries of comics written by Steven Niles, this film is really good and very direct which i like because the plot is straight to the point: the vampires need some blood. But also show to us how the people behavior in a situation like that one.
The cast is good, with Harnett playing a non typical hero and the vampires look really cool. The unique think that i don't like of the vampires was their strange eye browns; and the visual part of the film is really good.
I haven't read the comics so i can't compare to them. so the unique thing that i can say is that i really enjoy this film, is really well done and is a fresh film in the vampires genre. 8/10
PS: i love the end, is not typical because is not a happy one and i think that horror films will never be for everyone.
