Review of 30 Days of Night (2007) by Christopher H — 23 Oct 2011
In what felt like a zombie/vampire film, 30 Days Of Night offers a different look at both of these genres. Josh Hartnett completely sells his role, not only helping the viewer get the most of the occurrence taking place in Barrow, AK, but also adding emphasis to the emotional discourse throughout the film and I feel I would have had a harder time with anyone else in this role.
Melissa George stuns in the simplest of ways and really should be in more films. Danny Huston leads the vampire gang, adding a level of grandeur to a role that I feel would normally go to an unknown, and I am grateful for his presence in the film.
Ben Foster's appearance in the film was by far my favorite and almost all of the scenes containing him were highlights. From the set design to the cinematography, from the performances to the soundtrack, this film is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is slowly dwindling in the quality department.
