| Plot: | In Barrow, Alaska, seventy percent of the population of five hundred and some dwellers travels on the day of the last sunset, since the town will stay along the next thirty days without sun light. Sheriff Eben Oleson and Deputy Billy Kitka find many cell phones burned on the road. Then they receive a phone call from the local creator telling that his dogs have been slaughtered; later Eben finds the operator of the cell tower decapitated. He arrests a troublemaker drifter and the stranger frightens him telling that "they are coming and the locals will be dead". Sooner Eben discovers that the town is under siege and attacked by a gang of bloodthirsty vampires, and together with a few survivors, they hide in a empty cellar expecting for the next sunrise. |

GEOG: Barrow, Alaska is exactly 201 miles from the Alaskan Pipeline. Fact errors: Despite being without sunlight or electricity, most indoor and street scenes appear well-lit. Fact errors: In Barrow, the sun doesn't come back above the horizon for 67 days, but it still gets somewhat light between noon and 4:00 p.m.. It does not stay pitch black, as represented in the film. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: During the blizzard, when the group is moving from the attic to the general store, the wind is raging, yet the power lines are not moving. No ice has accumulated on the lines, so they aren't frozen solid. Continuity: In the first scene where Eben walks into the sheriff's office and takes off his hat, his hair goes from sticking up to well combed to sticking up again. Fact errors: Alaska has no sheriffs; all law enforcement is handled by state troopers or in Barrow, it's the North Slope Borough PD. There are both borough and municipal departments throughout the state along with AST (Alaska State Troopers) Fact errors: Everyone is eager to get the "last flight out" before the airport closes down for 30 days. The airport may close for occasional storms, but it never shuts down for 30 days. Alaska Airlines flies to Barrow at least once a day all year. Fact errors: The sign for Barrow lists a population of 563. The town actually has more than 4,000 people. Fact errors: In the diner, Lucy tells the stranger that no alcohol is allowed during the 30 day break. Barrow is a "damp" town all year; alcohol sales are not legal, but consumption and import are. Fact errors: One day in full bright sunshine and the next day in total darkness is a totally inaccurate depiction. Total darkness for many days and then suddenly a full and normal sunrise is not how it works near the poles. As the days gets shorter, sunrise comes later and sunset comes earlier. Eventually you start to get days where the sun barely peaks over the horizon with a few hours of twilight. Even when you reach the middle of this long "dark" period, you'll still have some hours twilight with the sun just under the horizon. Eventually the sun will peek out over the horizon just a little more on each new day as the sunrises come earlier and the sunsets come later. Fact errors: In the diner, when Stella pulls a gun on the stranger, Eben asks if the Fire Marshal's office lets her carry a pistol. In Alaska anyone over 21 years old and not a convicted felon or not convicted of a domestic violence crime may carry a concealed handgun. Fact errors: SPOILER: Near the end, Marlow lights the leaking oil from the pipeline by dropping a match into it. A match dropped into crude oil (or even diesel) would quickly go out and would not ignite the fuel at all. Fact errors: SPOILER: Despite the entire town being on fire near the end, none of the snow appears to be melting. Continuity: The color of Stella's eyebrows changes throughout the movie. Revealing mistakes: Throughout the movie, some vehicles do not have license plates. Continuity: Toward the end, Jake looks out the window of the utilidor and you can still see blood on the ground from the first couple of days that the vampires arrived, even though there was snowfall throughout the whole movie. PLOT: With a town full of people, why would the vampires go on a rampage and kill nearly everyone, spilling a lot of blood they couldn't drink, all in one night? Why wouldn't they just round them up, hold them somehow, and feed as they needed or wanted? Fact errors: The Satellite dishes on the communications building are pointed slightly up, but because satellites orbit near the equator, satellite dishes in Alaska need to point horizontally, or in some cases, even slightly down. Because of this it is also unlikely that the characters would have had satellite phones. Continuity: Josh Hartnett appears to be growing facial hair over the course of the movie, however no one else appears to have grown any facial hair, including his brother (who at 15 should at least have a few hairs on his chin). FAIR: After the vampires have cut the power to the town, most buildings have generators, including the Sheriff Station and the Diner. That explains the well-lit interiors. PLOT: It is rather hard to see how Eben could have hidden from the vampires when his every step would make a clear print in the snow. Revealing mistakes: Even though it must be freezing cold, you often don't see the actors' visible breath. PLOT: SPOILER: Sheriff Oleson injected himself with vampire blood because he claimed Stella and the child would be killed by either the spreading flames or the vampires. However, this was a completely pointless act when one considers that the sun began to rise immediately following his defeat of the head vampire and the fire never consumed the car the two were hiding beneath. Had he waited 15 minutes, everything would have been fine. Continuity: In one of the final scenes, the "Number Two" vampire is killed by being thrown into the grinder. However, minutes later he is back with the other vampires and is consistently seen with them through the rest of the movie. He is even seen in a number of close up shots. GEOG: Snow falls frequently during the movie, including a period with a blizzard. However, extreme northern areas are actually deserts and get very little snow fall. In particular the town of Barrow, AK only receives, on average, .12 inches of snow fall throughout the entire month of December. Fact errors: Real grow lamps do not emit any more UV light than regular fluorescent lights, as UV is actually harmful to plants. Either the light should have killed the plants, or the vampires should have suffered burns from normal lighting. Revealing mistakes: In the jailhouse scene, if you pause the movie you can see that the bag of "Marijuana" is filled with black pipe cleaners. Revealing mistakes: When the vampires are coming for Beau Bower, he removes a road flare from a box, lights it, and throws it back in resulting in a massive explosion. Real road flares are not easily ignited, and would not have exploded like that. PLOT: SPOILER: Minutes before the sun rises on the last day of night, the vampires try to burn the town down to make the deaths of the citizens of Barrow look like an accident. The large number of turned over cars and heads on pikes on the outskirts of the town would have been highly suspicious to anyone investigating the accident. PLOT: In the scene where Eben and Stella are driving to get the flairs and bear traps the vampires lift the back bumper of their SUV so the back tires are not touching the ground. The Chevy they're driving is either a FWD or 4WD, because you can see the front tires spinning. Lifting the back tires alone would not be sufficient means to stop the car. Continuity: When John Riis is sitting at his table, and the camera pans to his wife Ally in the kitchen, there is snow falling past the window behind her, and yet none falling past the window behind him. Fact errors: Crude oil doesn't burn until it reaches 140 Fahrenheit (60 Celsius), simply throwing a match onto it would not cause ignition. |

The Stranger: Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. So sweet. So helpless against what is coming. Stella Oleson: He's just trying to freak us out. Jake Oleson: It's working. Sheriff Eben Oleson: We have more important things to think about. I'll check on Gus. The Stranger: Check on Gus. Board the windows. Try to hide. They're coming. This time they're gonna take me with them... honor me. Yeah. For all that I have done. Sheriff Eben Oleson: They? Who are they? Sheriff Eben Oleson: Hell of a day. The Stranger: Just you wait. The Stranger: No whiskey. No rum. Lucy Ikos: Alcohol's illegal this month. Folks have hard enough time in the dark without booze making it worse. The Stranger: Well forget about... the liquor, Lucy. Just bring me a bowl of raw hamburger. Lucy Ikos: You can only get meat two ways around here - frozen or burned. [the Stranger grabs Lucy's hand] The Stranger: You don't bring me what I want to eat. What I want to drink. Sheriff Eben Oleson: That's enough, pal. Leave the lady be. [the Stranger releases Lucy, and Eben sits down next to him at the counter] Sheriff Eben Oleson: Hey, what do you say the two of us go outside and have a little talk, huh? The Stranger: Now what's wrong, with a man, who want a little fresh meat? Sheriff Eben Oleson: Come on. You and me. Let's go. I'm taking you outside. [the Stranger suddenly gets up and faces him] The Stranger: I would like to see that. Sheriff Eben Oleson: [yelling to distract the vampires] Come on, motherfuckers! Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] That which can be broken must be broken. [after tearing into someone's throat] Little Girl Vampire: I'm done playing with this one. You want to play with me now? Jake Oleson: I saw them feeding on Grandma Helen. They're like, vampires, you know? Stella Oleson: Vampires don't exist, Jake. [after getting shot in the arm by Eben] The Stranger: You shithead. The Stranger: They didn't take me. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Who did they take? The Stranger: [upset] They didn't take me! Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] We should have come here ages ago. The Stranger: No way out of town. No one coming to help. Jake Oleson: Shut up. Helen Munson: Ignore him, Jake. The Stranger: You can feel it. That cold ain't the weather. That's death approaching. Who do you think they're gonna take first? The girl, who thinks a gun will help her? The kid, sheriff's kid? Or the old gal? Jake Oleson: Shut up! [Jake throws a board game piece at the Stranger] The Stranger: Oh... yeah... thank you, for the plastique. I can snap that apart and pick the lock. Beau Brower: [before lighting a box of flares on fire] You ain't gonna eat me! Sheriff Eben Oleson: All right, time to talk. Who are you here with? Who are you here with? [the Strangers whimpers in pain] Sheriff Eben Oleson: Who did that to Gus? The Stranger: You're a dead man. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Where are they? The Stranger: [while foaming at the mouth] I don't talk to dead men. I don't talk to dead men! Sheriff Eben Oleson: Well, if I'm dead no one lets you loose from here. The Stranger: You're all dead! Kirsten Toomey: [crying] Please, God... Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] God? [Marlow looks around, and then after a long pause he stares into Kirsten's eyes] Marlow: [coldly, in English] No god. [first lines] Sheriff Eben Oleson: Strange. Sheriff Eben Oleson: I can smell your blood. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Yeah, it worked. But they're gonna cut off the power, so... [the power suddenly goes out] Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself. What a plague you are. Doug Hertz: They don't fall down when they're shot. Beau Brower: Hell, neither do I. Beau Brower: Welcome to Barrow. Top of the world. Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] The heads must be separated from their bodies. Do not turn them. Adam Colletta: Are you sure you don't want to stay? Me and Jeannie were kind of hoping that you and Eben might re-think this seperation thing. Stella Oleson: Thanks. I uh... got to make the plane. [last lines] Stella Oleson: What did you do to yourself? Sheriff Eben Oleson: What I had to. Should I go after them? [Stella shakes her head] Sheriff Eben Oleson: It's almost dawn. We made it. Stella Oleson: Eben... the dawn... Stella Oleson: I should have fought harder, kept Wilson here. Sheriff Eben Oleson: It's hard to stop someone when there family's at stake. The things you'll do to save your own. Stella Oleson: We were like that once... weren't we? Sheriff Eben Oleson: [upon finding Beau working on his truck] Got a problem? Beau Brower: Nothing I can't handle my own fucking self. [Eben sees oil leaking from his truck] Sheriff Eben Oleson: This for generators? Beau Brower: Yeah. Yeah, mostly. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Well, Beau, I'm going to have to cite you for it. I can't have it leaking all over the street. Beau Brower: What? For that? You don't... you don't have to cite me. You don't have to do anything. Isn't that why we live out here? You know, for a little freedom? Sheriff Eben Oleson: [handing Beau the citation] Happy motoring. Deputy Billy Kitka: You know, Beau's not so bad. Why'd you bother writing him up? Sheriff Eben Oleson: He lives all alone out there on the south ridge. A little citation now and then lets him know he's a part of this town. Deputy Billy Kitka: [after Stella misses her plane] Peggy and me can put two girls in one room. You'd have a place of your own. Stella Oleson: I can't stay here. I've got bills to put in the mail. My plants will die. Deputy Billy Kitka: It'll all work out. Of course, the price of staying at my place is explaining to me and Peggy just what the heck is wrong with you and Eben. Stella Oleson: [muttering to herself] Not enough time this century to cover that, Billy. Sheriff Eben Oleson: [upon seeing pictures of Carter's family] Can't your wife bring you up a sweater or two? Or bring the whole tribe up while she's at it? Carter Davies: They'll come when they're ready, I guess. Sheriff Eben Oleson: [to the Stranger] Let me tell you what I got. You don't work at the refinery. You didn't fly in; somebody'd seen you. And you're definitely not from around here. How'd you get in? [the Stranger remains silent] Sheriff Eben Oleson: All right. Well, we got a long time to figure this out. Nobody's coming for you for a month. [the Stranger smiles] [upon finding a bag of pot at the sheriff's station] Sheriff Eben Oleson: What the hell is that? Jake Oleson: It's pot. It helps her with her cancer. Helen Munson: Didn't tell you I got a little greenhouse at home. Didn't want you arresting me. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Now I know why you wanted to go live with grandma. Doug Hertz: You keep shooting and they just... they just keep coming. Carter Davies: How's that possible? Doug Hertz: I don't know. Maybe they're all coked up on PCP or something, you know? They don't feel any bullets. Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] There is no escape. No hope. Only hunger and pain. Sheriff Eben Oleson: We'll sleep in shifts. We'll ration our food, and then we'll figure out the next step. We have two advantages - we know this town, and we know the cold. We live here for a reason; because nobody else can. Stella Oleson: These things can't survive the sun. What if we brought the sun early? Helen had that operation at home. Jake Oleson: Yeah. She used an ultraviolet light to grow the stuff. Stella Oleson: Yeah. I can run for her place, let them follow me, and hit them with the sun lamp while the rest of you beat it to the sheriff's station. Beau Brower: Just because something stopped Bela Lugosi doesn't mean it can stop these things. Stella Oleson: Why would they send that stranger to cut us off, if they can't handle the light? Jake Oleson: What if it doesn't work? Stella Oleson: It has to. Lucy Ikos: Now there's six of us. Carter Davies: Soon there'll be just five. [Carter removes his hood to reveal that he has turned into a vampire] Carter Davies: The little girl in the store. I changed. I'm just so thirsty now. I couldn't tell you. That photo's all I've got left of my family. Martha was taking the kids to visit her mom. They were hit... by a drunk driver. I wanted to be with them so much. I... I couldn't bring myself to do it. But I know they're waiting for me. I can't live forever. I can't. Eben. Don't let me. Deputy Billy Kitka: [talking about his family] I heard the screams. I didn't want them to die like the rest. I tried to shoot myself too. The fucking gun jammed. I shouldn't have signaled to you. I just couldn't stand being on my own. Sheriff Eben Oleson: They're burning down the town. Denise: Nobody will know what happened. They'll just think it was some horrible accident. Lucy Ikos: Next time they'll take out Point Hope, Wainwright. Deputy Billy Kitka: [overlooking the final sunset] I brought Peggy here on our first date. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Yeah, we all did. [Billy turns and looks at Eben] Sheriff Eben Oleson: Not Peggy, of course. Sheriff Eben Oleson: Stop the truck. Stella Oleson: What? Sheriff Eben Oleson: Stop the fucking truck! [Stella stops and they get out] Sheriff Eben Oleson: I thought I saw something. [Stella looks through binoculars] Stella Oleson: Get in the truck. Sheriff Eben Oleson: What? Stella Oleson: Get in the fucking truck! Denise: Neither of you are getting me alone. Neither! Aaron: Ah! We share, right? None of us have to be greedy. Gabe: Yeah, come on. We'll be good. Aaron: Oh, you will? Where's the fun in that? Gabe: Oh, you bad little bitch. |
