The premise for this vampire flick sounded awesome. The earth's seasonal tilt creates 30 days without sun in northern Alaska. Vampires move in for 24 hour dining.
The vamps look very creepy and all, but the shaky camera shots I can't stand. Maybe I'm just old, but can't directors rise up and create tension through story telling? Why must we always shake the camera?
The movie focuses more on the gore than the horror of being trapped for 30 days, trying to hide from bloodsuckers. Well, they're more like blood munchers. These vamps don't have typical fangs.
I also question how the vampires could actually find hot lunches after cutting the humans power sources. Everyone should have been Popsicles!

Mike and I watched this one several weeks ago. I have to agree with your assessment. It's another movie where they went for the 'gross out' as opposed to really creating tension based on the overall hopelessness that such a situation could create. Even without the vamps, this could have been a very tense situation and might have made a good movie. Shame that they missed the boat. :-)
I don't remember hearing about this film. hmmmmmmm Thanks for the info!
Not a fan of horror films.
