30 Days of Night
In Barrow, Alaska, there is darkness for 30 days in winter. This is when a group of vampires, led by Danny Huston with wacky pointed teeth and black contact lenses, shows up to chomp away on the exposed fleshy parts of innocent townsfolk. There isn’t much variation on the traditional vampire theme, but there is lots of blood, lots of gore and lots of vampires in black coats standing around as if auditioning for a remake of the Michael Jackson Thriller video. — Peter Bradshaw
