A mother and daughter move into a new house in a new town as the mother has gotten a job with a world renowned geneticist who is secretly using his job as a cover to both contain and advance a brewing vampire plague. In secret, he's been creating an experimental a pill that he intended to be the next step in vampire evolution. The pills induce vampirism in those that are unaffected and contains the virus in those that are.
One of the junior doctors, finds a pill and takes it like a true junkie. Soon after, he breaks into the doctor's lab and steals the rest, which are stolen from him by one of his junkie friends looking to score for a party. They are introduced as party favors and are eventually put into the punch for everyone to consume.
By the time they've turned and eaten everyone else the police are ill equipped to deal with their numbers and the door is left wide open to a third lost boys sequel.
Frostbitten was okay, but just that. You can see the influences of certain American films, (lost boys, daywalkers) but the cool thing that they added to the genre is glowing red eyes and sequences in the dark where that's all that can be seen. That was a pretty good visual effect. But outside of that and maybe a few comedic scenes (namely involving a garlic braised dinner) but I found myself a little bored. It's worth a watch to see how they handle the genre in other countries, but it isn't a must see.
Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
