Never before in my life have I been so utterly scared of vampires. Usually their role in films is to be creepy and kind of make you look over your shoulder when you’re walking down a dark street. But the vampires that descend upon the small Alaskan town of Barrow as it is plunged into darkness for a full month are uncannily terrifying.

They are cold, ruthless hunters, and there are over thirty of them that begin to prey on the hapless citizens of Barrow who have decided to stay behind during the darkest period of the year. The ending is awesome, the tension and suspense throughout the film are awesome, and as vampire movies go, this one is just completely awesome all around. Very unique, see it!
