30 Days of Night - 8 / 10

Great set (reminded me of John Carpenter's The Thing in many ways) and solid characters. The bad guys were hyped up, wedged faced, cocaine-is-a-helluva-drug vampires that raided Marilyn Manson's closet and don't like to wash their faces. The arctic temperatures didn't phase them. The good guys were local-yokel cop (Harnett) and his fire marshal exwife (and other who remain mildly forgettable) who manage to take it to the hyper-suckers with a variety of armaments including some hot-hot bear trap action.

God view of town being eaten alive. Constantly neck snapping with Nosferatu kung-fu. Little girl gets decapitated. No tits, no ass. Minimal gun usage. No cheesy one-liners.

The finale fight ending was a bit too Dragonball Z for me, but it did the job.
