Hard Candy auteur (and Twilight: Eclipse hack) David Slade adapts Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith's groundbreaking, violent vampire comic book. Josh Hartnett is the sheriff of an Alaskan town preparing for its annual month-long dark spell when a troupe of vampires led by Danny Huston of all people comes to town, determined to eat everyone before the sun comes up. The film retains the violence, but not the stylishness, of its source material.
