The isolated, snowy setting is unsettling and reminiscent of The Thing, and when the vampires turn up, the violence is all the more shocking against the white background of Alaska.
The vampires themselves are pretty horrible (in a good way). The blacked out eyes, the demonic language they speak in, and the desire to just slaughter rather than necessarily feed, set them apart from the more romanticized vampires we've been subjected to over recent years (looking at you Twilight), and Danny Huston makes for a sinister leader.
Elsewhere, the rest of the cast are so so - I found myself not particularly caring about any of them too much. The story could have done with some more build up for sure. The feeling of dread is quickly established and almost immediately taken away when the vampires turn up 15 minutes in, reducing their initial impact.
The ending is a little silly as well, but overall, a pretty good watch for fans of horror comic books!

The harder edges of London's book have been sanded down considerably, and this does verge on the sentimental and cutesy in places - for one ghastly moment I thought the dogs were going to start talking to each other - and the fact it's made with a CGI dog (Terry Notary has been mo-capped) will probably put some people off. But it's solid, likeable stuff, lifted considerably by performances from Ford and Omar Sy. I still think it was madness to spend over $120 million on a film which will probably struggle to find an audience, but it has a definite charm to it.
