This is one of the most gruesome vampire movies I have ever seen, it's awesome! I love horror movies and consider this one of my favorites, The acting is decent and the storyline is believable as far as vampire movies go. The movie supposedly takes place in Alaska and the weather effects and remote small town setting seems very accurate. The movie itself revolves around a recently separated couple who are struggling to communicate and are suddenly forced to rely on each other due to the arrival of a stranger and his bloodthirsty friends. The husband seems to still loves his wife but is upset about the separation and the wife seems to just want to get away and start anew. Suspicious activities in the town and the onset of the yearly month of darkness conspire to unite them together in a fight for their survival.
