Frostbitten

About This Movie

Frostbitten is one of those quirky gems that blends comedy with horror in a idiosyncratic way. Set in the chilly backdrop of Norrbotten, Sweden, it plays with the vampire genre but doesn’t take itself too seriously. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, with some scenes dragging while others zip by with a punchy rhythm. Practical effects are a highlight here, often delivering that charmingly low-budget vibe that collectors appreciate. Performances range from deadpan to over-the-top, adding to its unique atmosphere. The film captures that mix of dark humor and horror that can be hard to nail, making it stand out in a sea of cliched vampire flicks.
