    Great setting but disjointed

    Pretty good movie with great vampire concept and fantastic premise and setting. Characters do make you care, atmosphere is strong, and in places it's tense and scary. Would have benefitted from extending the first 'what's going on?' section of the film, which was excellent and resolves a little too quickly. Then reduce the length of the second half which is a bit disjointed, and you don't always know why the characters are doing what they decide to do. Gets a bit random, to be honest. Still enjoyable though.

    Very good vampire movie.

    Well acted, well directed, great cast and a very good story.

    Something different to most vampire movies. Mostly very good effects and a decent amount of pretty serious gore.

    Not perfect by any means but highly enjoyable in my opinion and has some great music too.

    Definitely worth a watch for any vampire fans.

    Recommended.

    Unique take on the vampire genre

    Good movie. Scary, original and well made.

    Great acting with Hartnett, Houston and Foster being creepy/heroic.

    Well written and executed.

    More like a 7.5 but what the heck it ain't a 6.6 like it's showing.
    8DaRetroChick

    Very good movie, quiet scary.

    Okay, this is a scary film actually worth watching.

    I've seen quiet a lot of vampire/zombie movies, and this one stands out to me, because even though it sometimes uses a bit of gore, that's not what makes it scary.

    It's the tension. You just don't know what is going to happen next, the atmosphere is very creepy and the movie just gets through to you, like you can almost feel the Alaskan cold. Most scary movies I see end really badly, this one sort of did as well, but with a bit of romance.

    The thing that scared me the most about it is the vampires, I mean, you wont want one of them coming into your room at night.

    Overall, very good and worth watching..

    8/10

    Violent, Bleak, And Fun

    These vampires are more like wild savages than the charming and seductive Dracula or the stylish and clever Lestat. Instead we get rampant bloodshed across the Alaskan winter landscape with our protagonists trapped in a hopeless situation, turning it into a hopeful one as they just barely survive, being hunted by the seemingly-invincible vampire menace, until the tables gradually turn.

    • Trivia
      The vampires speak a completely original language. It was created for the film with the help of a linguistics professor at a New Zealand university.
    • Goofs
      Everyone is eager to get the "last flight out" before the airport closes down for 30 days. The airport may close for occasional storms, but it never shuts down for 30 days. Alaska Airlines flies to Barrow at least once a day all year.
    • Quotes

      Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself. What a plague you are.

    • Crazy credits
      The colors in the opening Columbia Pictures logo quickly fade, leaving only blues and grays.
