This was without a doubt the best Vampire film since "The Lost Boys". It was all round an very well done film, until the ending witch was very cliched. Otherwise, i'm going to have to highly suggest to this film to anyone who enjoys a good horror film.. Without a doubt one of the best horror flicks in years.

Excellent well paced movie. THe sense of isolation reminded me of "The Thing".

Best vampire movie ever.

This movie was amazing. It went buy so fast and there were things I did not expect to happen that scared me so much. It was the most amazing vampire movie of all time and its probably because you got to see everything. All the killing and gore was on camera and I loved it. There also wasn't any sex at all which made the movie even more enjoyable. Just non stop violence!!

This has been one of the best survival horror movies with Vampires that has been made within the last 20 years. I went in with low expectations and found that it was actually quite well done and I was really happy that I had gone to see it.

Someone working for this film did something to make someone influential very mad. The film is being unjustly blackballed in the reviews. It is a horror movie, with vampires. It is just about on par with The Descent. Complaining about lack of character development? Stop whining; I don't remember anyone watching Dracula, Halloween, Alien, or really any other horror movie for character development. And for the comment about people laughing at the ending? Oh well, too bad, the ending was fine. Actually, I thought Hartnett did a pretty good job with the acting. And you actually don't see the monster right off, which is a step in the right direction. This actually is the best horror movie I have seen since the Descent and I go to them all...So what I really want to know is why the blackballing campaign? It is a solid horror movie that deserves much better reviews that it is getting.… Expand

Tension was high after the introductory phase of the film, keeping me engaged throughout the viewing. The gore was quite welcome, as there haven't been any movies recently which have lived up to the amount advertised. Story was simple but entertaining, to expect a complex plot from a horror/thriller is not proper viewing attitude. The vampires were well done, makeup was terrific and the motion and style was refreshing and realistically terrifying. Characters were believable and easy to bond with. Few, though existent cheesy sequences, but not much to laugh at, a few funny decapitations and such. Excellent film, if you expect an adrenaline filled horror flick, it wasn't intended to be perplexing, romantic, funny, or mentally engaging, going to this expecting what they want to see in other genres is like ripping apart a children's film for not having character development and realism.… Expand

One of best Vampire movies in a long time. Movie had a dark, intense tone missing from most horror films. Very good music score helped set dark mood.

This was surpisingly good, dark, and scary. I was riveted watching it. Don't know why this movie was deserving of a metacritic 50?

This is the scariest movie i have ever seen in my life!!!!! my husband loves it and whenever he watches it my heart starts beating really fast and i feel like i cant breath and i have to leave the room!!!!! but it is the most awesome movie b/c no movie has ever scared me like that and i watch alot of scary movies!!!!!

This is one of my favorite movies! It has an entirely different view of vampires and I love its originality. In the cinema they always try to depict vampires to be such haunting, erotic, melancholy souls. I just loved how this one went beyond that boundary and portrayed them as vicious creatures. It is one of the best vampire flicks I have seem in a while. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat! My favorite scene is when the camera does an overhead pan of the town, it captured the chaos, blood and pure madness that these creatures were havocking on the town.… Expand

Loved it. The ending could have been better, but I cant wait for the sequel.

Excellent horror film! Direction and story are tight. Photography is top notch and performances fantastic. Most terrifying vampires to appear on screen in years.

I found this movie exciting and suspenseful. I had no idea of what would come next.

A superb movie in every way. Very surprised at some of the negative reviews. I really don;t see any flaws with it. The pacing is brilliant, with a great lead up to the arrival of the vampires, the acting is first class, the characters believable, there's blood, action, decapitations, dismemberments, and the cinematography is very expertly done. In my opinion this is one of the greatest horrors ever made. John Carpenter loved it - say no more.… Expand
