ONE MONTH ‘TIL DAWN.Â
Doctor Annika Wallén and her teen daughter (Petra Nielsen, Grete Havnesköld) move to a small community in northern Sweden – and are forced to do battle with vampires. Swedish vampire flicks are a rare thing; too bad that this opportunity is wasted. Nothing out of the ordinary happens here; expect crosses and garlic. The visual effects are a very mixed bag and there’s no real tension. The filmmakers have a sense of humor, which is good, but it doesn’t save the film.
