30 Days of Night (2007)
2007 | Horror, Mystery
I recently re watched 30 Days of Night for the first time in years - it's not quite as good as I remember it being, but it still holds up pretty well.

The isolated, snowy setting is unsettling and reminiscent of The Thing, and when the vampires turn up, the violence is all the more shocking against the white background of Alaska.

The vampires themselves are pretty horrible (in a good way). The blacked out eyes, the demonic language they speak in, and the desire to just slaughter rather than necessarily feed, set them apart from the more romanticized vampires we've been subjected to over recent years (looking at you Twilight), and Danny Huston makes for a sinister leader.

Elsewhere, the rest of the cast are so so - I found myself not particularly caring about any of them too much. The story could have done with some more build up for sure. The feeling of dread is quickly established and almost immediately taken away when the vampires turn up 15 minutes in, reducing their initial impact.

The ending is a little silly as well, but overall, a pretty good watch for fans of horror comic books!

This is an ok introduction to Vampire fiction and a sort of sweet story, but I encountered it as an adult and was not very impressed. However at the time my teenage daughter loved it.

Loved this book series when I was younger, read most of the author's other books as well - definitely one of the defining books of my vampire phase, and the stories and characters have stayed with me for years
