Reviews

Over here in Europe, and especially during the annual Horror & Fantasy Festivals all over the continent, "Frostbite" got endlessly praised and acclaimed as one of the most innovating and creative new vampire movies of the last few decades, but you honestly have to put all this eulogy into perspective a little. First of all because European horror critics understandably wish to promote our own stuff as opposed to that uninspired American "junk" and, secondly, because the guys behind the camera (director Anders Banke and producer Magnus Paulsson) used to be involved in the organization of the Swedish Fantasy Festival and thus the critics support each other.

A Swedish teen vampire comedy horror film isn't a huge genre, and it is always good to find something that tries something a little out of the ordinary.Sharing certain similarities with '30 Days of Night', the main thrust of this film reveals what happens when a group of teens mistake pills of what appears to be condensed vampire blood for narcotics.

To think I was once avoiding horror movies because I thought I was chicken. Hell, I now believe the real reason's cause there are so many bad horror movies out there, that it's just not worth the time and money to watch them on the big screen.

It is nice to see some genre-movies produced in Sweden, finally. This is an ambitious project but somewhat let-down by (among other things) a low budget.

This horror-comedy about vampires in a northern Swedish town has it's qualitys. It has a nice look and the music is also good.

A vampire tale set in Northern Sweden, the plot of Frostbite can be summed up fairly quick: a researcher has concocted a serum that turns people into vampires, and a bunch of people drink it.I didn't think it was supposed to be particularly funny, or scary, or anything other that what it is: a lighthearted vampire movie that's enjoyable to watch.

I saw this movie hoping it should be a good horror movie but it was totally crap. The acting is done by armatures and the script too.

If you're expecting a true horror movie, you'll be disappointed. This movie was hilarious.

This is a new and refreshing movie about vampires, not the same old same old, it is recorded in the northern part of Sweden where we have polar nights, and when the polar darkness kicks in then can your imagination truly run free.The make up is excellent, the special effects is awesome, and the soundtrack is superb, well written, and utterly perfectly performed by the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra.
