I was surfing one of my favorite sites for movies when I came across a review that caught my attention. I didn’t bother to read the whole review but just bits and pieces. The things that got stuck to my head were vampires and a month of darkness. There has been a lapse in vampire movies that come to the silver screen, 30 Days of Nights came out just in time and making people jump in their seats (I know I did). 30 Days of Nights follows through a story of a small town in Alaska where people are about to migrate (like birds) away from the dark month of the year. Once a year this town is in total darkness when the sun sinks below the horizon. Now being in darkness is cool but what if you are surrounded by blood thirsty vampires?
Based on a comic with the same name this story takes place in an Alaskan town which is in darkness for thirty days. The people of the village think that vampires are only a myth but they are faced with reality when the vampires start draining their victims. They are met with a wife and husband team who with others occupants of the town try to survive the month of horror. The final sequence shows the husband and the head of the vampires in a dual with a rather unusual ending. The idea that I liked in this movie was the FX that seemed so real that its hard to distinguish between make-ups and FX making the movie more enjoyable.
The cast of this movie is headed by Josh Hartnett (Lucky Number Slevin & Sin City) and Melissa George (Alias TV Series). Josh has been around in Hollywood doing some roles that you might overlook. His best roles according to me are in the above two mentioned movie titles. Melissa George on the other hand is an actress who has been in and out the silver screen. She has a lot of movie in her credit (I just found out) all of which are quite familiar titles. All the cast were pretty good in their roles with Josh showing a very different side of his acting. Personally I would rate this movie 7/10.
