Review of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days (2010) by Kyle S — 21 Oct 2010
On the whole, it's well above-average, especially for sequels, but the very thing the made the original so effective - the paralyzing, inescapable isolation of a place like Barrow, where no one can hear you scream - is deliberately forgone.
The more aggressive, vengeance-centered result plays more like a zombie film, and it honestly seems to draw more from Left 4 Dead than its own predecessor. I enjoyed it, and many of its elements (especially Mia Kirshner's creepily Victorian performance, and the film's gorgeous opening credits sequence), but it was simultaneously a chore to finish, so needless to say, I won't be revisiting it any time soon.
