It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

The character portrayed by Melissa George in the first movie is the only returning character here, and this time that character is portrayed by Kiele Sanchez. The supporting cast includes horror veterans Diora Baird and Katherine Isabelle, as well as Harold Perrineau and Mia Kirshner. Much like most larger budget movies, the acting is fine, though not outstanding.

Headbashings, gunshot wounds, decapitations, and vampire feedings.

A clothed sex scene.

Not as enjoyable as the first movie in the series, as the story is just not as interesting, and the confinements provided by the setting of the first film, which helped add to the film, are missing here. Still however, and adequate sequel, that's much better than most of the vampire movies releases lately, looking to capitalize on the "Twilight" induced craze. Check it out.
