Definitely One Of My Favourite Vampire Movies.

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2014)

I loved this movie. It's extremely violent and bloodthirsty, which is not my usual cup of tea. But the story is so good and so original, and the characters so believable, the violence sort of works. In case you're not aware, it is based on a comic book, which is also well worth a read,and has been fairly faithfully reproduced. With the action being based in a town which is permanently in darkness for 30 days, gives a relentless, claustrophobic feel to the proceedings. Throw in some spectacular, but not over used, special effects and a great ending, and there you have it, a 9 star movie for me. (In case anyone is wondering,Salem's Lot, the original tele-movie for sheer creepiness, Blade and Let Me In are all right up there as well.)
