Frostbite (2006)

By rights I should have seen this Swedish film at FrightFest a few months back, but it was one of their late-night showings (past my bedtime!).  So I finally caught up with it some four months later and apart from the fact that I can now say that I have seen the one and only Swedish vampire flick ever produced in that country, I can't say a great deal more.  A hospital lab technician and her daughter move to the North which is still in the throes of Arctic night and fall in with a nest of vampires.  Well at least the chief doctor has been one since a World War II experience and has been hiding out with a child vampire for the past sixty years studying how to perfect his species and take over the world -- as one does.  Unfortunately one of his medical students steals the controlling blood pills and they find their way to a teenage rave as the drug of choice with the expected bloody results.  Poorly paced and something of a riff on vampire legends -- I never knew that afflicted people had dogs address them! -- the movie was played more for laughs than for chills, and on this level, it was a pleasant enough diversion -- but I doubt that other horrormeisters need fear the competition here.
