A brilliant vampiric horror with a rather neat twist. Set in the bleak and unforgiving landscape of Iceland, this film sees murderous vampires attack a sleepy town during a time when the sun disappears for an entire month. Just think about that for a second, their bombardment wouldn’t stop for a whole 30 days. Eurgh, it’s not worth thinking about.

Creepy, beautifully filmed and genuinely terrifying, 30 Days of Night also features a great performance by Josh Hartnett (whatever happened to him?). It’s an intriguing take on a horror genre that has been done to death and is well worth a watch. If you’re up for a horror movie of course.

Starts a bit rough (0 more)
I normally don't read this type of book, however, I was gifted it while traveling in Iceland. And I loved it.
It starts a bit rough in the beginning as the change in perspective takes some getting used to, once I did it was a great read. The characters and thier issues were so immersive that you started to hope that they'd figure things out. I loved getting to know the family.
It is an emotional rollercoaster I did cry (it wasn't a bad one) and there are triggers for ppl who have eating disorders and depression.
The descriptions are amazing in felt like I was in Ireland and Italy. A great read and worth it.

An interesting book, but not as great as I had hoped. Following an convicted murderess and the family who is forced to watch over her as she awaits her execution in early 1800's Iceland, there is plenty of intrigue teased out over the course of the novel. Did she do it? If so why? If not, then who? And as she relays details of her life leading up to the crime a sense of suspense does gradually build. Aside from the main plot, it is interesting to learn about the lives of farmers in the country at that time, and all of the hardships such a life entailed. The ending felt somewhat flat however, and didn't really adequately wrap up quite everything that had been brought up throughout the book.
