"That cold ain't the weather, that's death approachin'." -The Stranger
BY: SHAWN CHURCHILL
QUICK SUMMARY
In the town of Barrow, Alaska, during a certain time of the year, for a full 30 days there's no sun at all, just darkness. Vampires that have lived for centuries decide to use this full month to eat to their heart's content on humans, slaughtering, biting, massacring the population of Barrow, Alaska. One man, the sheriff of Barrow, Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett) and his wife Stella Oleson (Melissa George) with whom at the moment are seperated/havin' some marriage woes or something.. who cares?!
30 Days of Night isn't 'bout love jeez!! Yes, there's blood, gallons of it!!FANFREAKIN'TASTIC!! Well, Eben and Stella help and protect those who haven't been consumed by the army of vampires, the survivors hide.. the vampires feast and feast, heh. Those that aren't slaughtered immediately are truly %&$^, for Barrow, Alaska is hell on earth. To keep breathin' is hell, to keep on hiding in fear is hell until Eben finds out how to slay them (Which won't be revealed here).
Or is he wrong? ~^_^~
END OF QUICK SUMMARY
FINAL THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS
30 Days of Night the graphic novel written by Steve Niles and drawn by Ben Templesmith is fanfreakin'tastic, I nearly threw up my organs when I discovered that a movie based on his work was to be created, however very luckily Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith had a major influence durin' the shootin' of this film.. yeah Steve Niles wrote the screen play!! Celebrate good times c'mon! It's a celebration! ~^ ^~
30 Days of Night directed by David Slade (Hard Candy) is just WHOA.. it begins beautifully with grisly violence and doesn't let it up until the very end. The dark foreboding skies, the powerless city of Barrow, the music by Brian Reitzell is eerie, perfect for 30 Days of Night.
This new breed of vampires have have long fingers they use, jabbing them into human flesh of those who attempt feebly to escape before they start feastin' on the poor victim, of course they bite a lot too. They have their own language which I FOUND to be really really really stupid as hell. ><
And sometimes the vampires would walk 'round and randomly hisssss.. wha?! O_o
Uh, please 'splain to me since when are vampires related to serpents?!?!!? XP
Other than that, 30 Days of Night is wonderful, another horror.. correction.. another vampire flick that hopefully stands out compared to any other vampire movie EVER MADE. Some people in the theater actually said that the vampires were creepy-looking or appeared to be not cheesy, lol. I love this motion picture.. it is right up my alley so to speak. ^_~
Some may find it a bit dark, just thought I'd warn ya beforehand.
I'm eagerly waiting for the dvd release of this film to come out, and when it does I better have some cash at the time. O_O
A possible sequel? 'Tis be so-so, it didn't do that WELL in theatres. ; ^ ^
Now for the number of stars, 30 Days of Night is almost flawless, nearly perfect, so for this flick I give it 3 1/2 stars!! No kidding man, a vampire movie that damn good, lol.
^ ^
Thanks for readin'!!! ^_^
