This is a well-made monster movie, but definitely NOT a vampire movie. As any student of authentic vampire lore knows, vampires fear the cross (crucifix) and can only be killed in certain ways, ie, a wooden stake through the heart, running water, or exposure to sunlight. The filmmakers chose to ignore every method of destroying "vampires" other than direct sunlight. No crosses/crucifixes are used to ward off these so-called "vampires." Melissa George's character (Stella) even says at one point: "There's no such thing as vampires." Definitely not in this movie. Is the absence of crosses/crucifixes another example of Hollywood's anti-Christian bias? See the movie and decide for yourself. BTW, vampires can enter a residence only upon invitation. Another vampire convention ignored by the filmmakers. These are bloodthirsty, cannabalistic demons alright--just not vampires.

It was definitely an original vampire movie with lots of blood, thrills and spills. I loved the way they did the end but the movie needed a lot of plot and character development. I walked out feeling I needed more (explanation).DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WANTS GOOD OR BAD - CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!

The New York Times review said it best.

I honestly can't remember seeing a better vampire movie than this recently. I jumped out of my seat, I bit my nails for the characters, I thought the vampires were pretty creepy. Well executed for what it's worth. I am sick of horror movies being compared on the same scale as "cinema" and trashed for it. Just say it was a great horror flick and let it be at that! of course you can't compare this to "The English Patient" but for what it is, I rat it a 95 out of 100!

Josh Hartnett is absolutely cute, and the vampires are very realistic. If you watch how the vampires devour ppl, it's scary. I'm a horror movie buff, and nothing has scared me recently, but after seeing this movie, I checked behind my seats, under seats because I was alone. The vampires in this movie move very fast and just treat us as " food". Make sure you see it late at night.

Fake vampire hissing sounds, - plain looking vampires, very predictable and easy to figure out. Save your money and rent 28 Weeks and watch it again, instead.

what a piece of garbage

I wouldn't see it. There's no real point and the characters don't have much to do except run and hide from the inevitable.

Saw it this past weekend.Take a bunch of vampires (not that good at acting!!)....add lots of snow, very small town, repetitive plot (I mean how many times can you hide in this place??) add scary music, and this is your movie here!!Not even worth a rental!!Josh.....you need a NEW AGENT!! YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS!!Stick to films like "The Guardian!!"
