Best in a decade

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2008)

Went to see this while my car got serviced. The clever idea of vampires taking advantage of the arctic night attracted me but I didn't expect such a good movie.
This is no art-house vampire film, except for the cinematography which deserves a 10. It was well acted and very well directed. They didn't explain the vampires, or tell you that much about the humans, you found out a bit here and there as it went along. Kept it interesting. The gore was appropriately disgusting - no death pornography. The action scenes had actions that fit the characters. I enjoyed it so much I forgave the sentimental ending.
