Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Apparently the first-ever Swedish vampire movie, Frostbite doesn't add much to the aged genre other than its setting: Lapland and the Polar Night, when the sun doesn't come out for a month which, of course, gives vampires plenty of time to play.
This isn't a good film. Its story is a muddle that jumps from Second World War soldiers encountering monsters in the woods, to modern-day teen vampires and a mad geneticist in a creepy hospital, none of it gelling and none of the characters staying around long enough to earn our interest.
That said, its chaos is oddly endearing. And when the Goth teen vampire is pierced through the heart with a Christmas garden gnome, you've got to laugh.
