Badly made and dull, but what else can one expect from a Slade/Nelson "production"

Two stars only for Slade's direction. Everything else about this movie is so routine and boring.

It's mostly ludicrous but still a welcome antidote to vampires of the twinkling kind.

Besides the fact that the vampires' design was a little lazy and pretty corny, the premise behind this arctic gore-fest is quite good. There are some great scenes, with lots of dark blood spraying in every direction. Its better than most films like this, and some scenes are so good that you can forget about some dodgy CGI work here and there - and of course, about those stupid looking vampires. Cold and entertaining.
