David Slade took the helm for this adaptation of Steve Niles' terrifying
comic-book series of the same name. In Barrow, AK, one night can last an
eternity. One month every year, this town is plunged into darkness for
30 days due to its location on the far north of the Arctic Circle. While
extended periods of darkness are something that the locals have become
accustomed to, this year something sinister is about to emerge from the
long and unforgiving night. As a maniacal horde of vampires assume control
of the city streets and commence to freely feasting on the terrified citizens,
the local sheriff (Josh Hartnett), his wife (Melissa George), and a small
but resilient band of survivors will be forced to choose between saving
themselves or helping the few remaining members of their community survive
the blood-soaked siege. Original comic creator Niles collaborated with
screenwriters Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson to pen a film produced under
Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures banner.
