MPAA RATING: R for strong horror violence and language
Starring Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Ben Foster, Danny Huston, and Manu Bennett
For 30 days every winter, the isolated town of Barrow, Alaska is plunged into a state of complete darkness. It's a bitter time when most of the inhabitants head south. This winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the residents remaining in town. Barrow's Sheriff Eben, his estranged wife Stella, and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight. (Columbia Pictures)

Finally, a vampire movie that depicts them in the old legend way: soulless, cunning beings who hunt and kill worse than animals and who are only looking to satisfy their own basic need to feed. Marlow was frightening and convincing.

Fun movie with a few flaws. Overall, if you like horror you should see it. I am a huge horror fan and I avoided this one for a while until last night when I Netflix-ed it. The vampires in this film are really creepy and will give you goosebumps. It's very 'Night of the Living Dead' in that they are trapped and have a swarm of evil creatures after them. Give it a watch, it's worth it.

I found this movie exciting and suspenseful. I had no idea of what would come next.
Chris K gave it a1:
I can only describe this film as the motion picture equivalent for your brain as a turd sandwich is for your mouth. Theres chewing, alot of nashing and you feel like you've been violated. And it'll ultimately make you sick.
Michael S. gave it an8:
Welcome alaskanians to the wonderfull world of incorrect information. ITS A FREAKING MOVIE ABOUT VAMPIRES who cares if its accurate.
Doug J. gave it a2:
Marginally less stuipid than the comics, but that doesn't take much -- the AND THEN A MAGIC GHOST SOLVES EVERYTHING ending for the comics is somewhat better handled, but... garbage in garbage out, y'know?
Glen F gave it a6:
Clearly, based on reviews from Alaskans, this movie made the Alaskans seem to smart.
