30 Days of Night

The following is a long form review that I originally wrote in 2010.

A new-age, brilliant vampire movie that never got the acclaim it rightfully deserved.

30 Days of Night is one of the few films I like that I can never understand why other people dont. Though I do prefer other movies like Revolver, Doomsday and Donnie Darko to it, with those I can always understand when people dont see in them what I do. With 30 Days of Night, if you dont have a problem with gore, then you shouldnt have a problem with the film. And yet I have personal friends as well as people Ive heard from online who totally dig horror, gore, vampires etc. and yet dont like 30 Days of Night, which confuses me all to Hell, let me tell you.

Though I wa...

Barrow, Alaska. The most northern town in the United States, where for 30 days every year it is has no sunlight.

This is the perfect opportunity for a gang of merciless, & blood-thirsty vampires to feed on the remaining inhabitants of this small town, after most leave for the month of darkness.

As people are leaving, and others are making preparations for their time of hibernation, mysterious occurrences are uncovered; mobile phones stolen, and destroyed, an entire team of sled dogs butchered. The ground work for the impending doom of a malevolent force.

Once the killings and feedings begin there is no let up. I have watched my share of vampire films, and frankly this is definitely one of the best made, its stripped back, bare, and...

Eh, it's OK.
