Having never read Steve Niles' and Ben Templesmith's horror novel, of which this film is an adaptation, I didn't quite know what to expect.

Set in a remote and isolated town in Alaska, the sun is about to set and not come about for a whole month.

It's at this moment that I think about leaving the cinema. It's also at this point that a gang of vampires arrive to feast on the vulnerable community, whoop whoop! (Heavy sarcasm intended.)

What follows is two hours of pointless, brain numbing violence that I guess is supposed to be entertaining.

The acting is over the top to say the least, and some characters are so cliched it's disturbing. To be fair though, this is a film you can also laugh at.

One particular vampire is a complete rip-off of Marilyn Manson, and one police officer reminded me of someone who'd just sat through five days of Jeremy Kyle abuse (think stupid, needy and pathetic.)

There are also a few popcorn shaker moments, though few and far between. Overall this is not a film I' say you should rush out and see.

Rating: 2/5
