"Don't worry. It will be over soon.

<checks watch>

"There's only a month left to dawn."

This is exactly the thing you don't want to hear when you suddenly discover you are a police officer facing a horde of drugged-out teenage vampires.*

Frostbite is a fun Swedish movie with excellent vampire disintegration effects, is heavy on gore (including the infamous "goth vampire killed by garden gnome" – actual true death probably from intense embarrassment rather than pure impalement), but rather light on story. It also harkens back to the more traditional portrayal of the vampire as walking dead, so it could easily be confused with being a zombie movie. Not that anyone is actually complaining, mind you. Now where did I leave my copy of All Flesh Must Be Eaten?

Although, I still think I currently prefer Young Dracula at the moment, mainly for Imogen wanting to be the Vampire Queen of Total Evilness (in what is a decidedly patriarchal society). Plus she has the most magnificent blue eyes...

* in this circumstance, on later reflection, the vampire bit of this phrase is probably completely optional.
