Review of 30 Days of Night (2007) by Paul R — 07 Jul 2012
This is one of my most watched Vampire films. David Slade's 30 Days of Night is a fantastic comic book adaption. It's a rewarding little vampire shocker. It's set in some great locations, with an effective use of colour and sound and excellent music that sets a creepy tone.
It's set in Barrow Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States. It's the beginning of 30 days without sunlight and the towns remaining residents are about to be hunted down by a group of rather nasty vampires.
The savage, brutal and ultra violent gore in a few scenes really looks extra special against the eerie white snowy backdrop of Barrow, Alaska. Look out for my favourite scene - the superb aerial flyby of the main street in the town where numerous vampires are causing carnage as blood sprays below over the snow in a variety of wicked and wonderful ways.
The screechy vampires can get slightly annoying in parts but overall this is a very worthy Vampire film.
