30 Days of Night (2007)

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is one of the best movies I have seen. It is so mush better then The silences of the lambs.

30 Days of Night (2007) is a Josh Hartnett, Melissa George vampire movie. These two lead actors play a separated couple who must come together for the good of the townspeople around them when their Alaska town gets attacked by vampires. I liked these two talented actors in their roles, they fit them well in my opinion. The plot is pretty average and by the numbers for a movie like this, although some of the ways in which they execute that plot is different. I will not spoil anything in this review, but just suffice to say that there are some things that happen, especially towards the end, that do not typically happen in other movies similar to this. I appreciated that. The action is good most of the time, and I liked that this movie didn't completely rely on shock and gore, movies that do that are very weak. Overall, this is one that i mildly recommend, there's better in the genre, but it's certainly not a bad pick by any means. 7/10 for 30 Days of Night.

'30 Days of Night' is an effective and surprisingly well-made vampire movie. It has everything you would want and expect from a movie like this - excessive gore, frightening jump scares, and a highly suspenseful plot. It's a combination that makes for great couple of hours of entertainment.Unlike a lot of, or maybe even most movies in this genre, '30 Days of Night' never feels cheap. Everything from the acting to the appearance of the vampires was as good as I can remember seeing in this genre. I could raise a few question marks about the direction of the plot, especially towards the end where it gets a bit messy. Ultimately though, '30 Days of Night' is great fun to watch.

30 DAYS OF NIGHT had gruesome and violent vampires only interested in feeding to their fill on the townspeople of Barrow, Alaska.That's the best part of the movie. The rest is, shall we say, very silly! First off, Barrow, Alaska looks like some old Western town with storefronts like Saloons or General Stores, only missing hitching posts outside. If you've ever seen actual photos of Barrow, you would notice that most every dwelling is a dome shaped abode or mobile home. Very few houses look like the ones in the movie. Nearly everyone in the Barrow of the movie is Caucasian, another inconsistency with a town that is not only real but primarily populated by Inuit peoples (Eskimos for the layman). The main hero and heroine are both typical, overly attractive people that look totally out of place in an area as rough as Barrow. They look like they just walked out of Macy's in Denver. Both are mostly uninteresting characters who you aren't empathetic with in the least. I was watching and rooting for the vampires to obliterate the town and all it's phony Alaskans, then sail away into the night on their big ship. For me, that would have been a happy ending to this lame movie. Guess you can tell I didn't like it that much, huh? It's a 4 out of 10 and ONLY because the vampires were cool.
