30 Days of Night description David (Hard Candy) Slade directs this nerve-jangling adaptation of the popular graphic novel series about a mob of vampires that overruns a remote Alaskan town in the grip of 30 Days of Night. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George are the film's de facto heroes (he's the stoic town sheriff and she's his estranged fire-marshal wife) but the picture's real MVP is Slade's camera (along with cinematographer Jo Willems), which careens across the town's snowy landscape to detail the vampires' horrific assault on its inhabitants, which are quickly pared down to a hardy few. The script, co-written by the source material's creator, Steve Niles, along with Pirates of the Caribbean's Stuart Beattie and Hard Candy's Brian Nelson), proudly wears its influences on its crimson-stained sleeve (Bram Stoker's Dracula, natch, but also Salem's Lot, Night of the Living Dead, and John Carpenter's version of The Thing) and boils down the graphic novels to a series of tense and extremely bloody standoffs between Harnett and George's band of survivors and the vaguely Slavic and ferocious bloodsuckers led by Marlow (a feral and frightening Danny Huston). And if the characters seem stock and the finale begs suspension of disbelief, the set pieces leading up to it are sufficiently supercharged with suspense and violence to please most horror fans. Standouts in the supporting cast are Ben Foster as the film's Renfield figure and Mark Boone Junior; the disturbing score by Brian Reitzell also merits a mention. --Paul Gaita Stills from 30 Days of Night (click for larger image)

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | I was not aware that vampires had fetal alcohol syndrome |
| Okay, so the movie doesn't flow at all. What it claims is 30 days to the characters looks as though it all happened in the same night. The vampires--far from actually being creepy--all look like they're mentally retarded (literally--or, if you remember Aphex Twin, they all look like him). The lead vampire cheesily babbles through the entire movie, and yes, it's even cornier than the villian's babbling in Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars, which was actually a much better film. This turd is FULL of unintentional laughs, which is one of it's only saving graces. The existing vampires look mentally retarded, but, for some reason, when Josh Harnett becomes one he does not all of a sudden look this way. Guess it takes a while. This movie is CORNY AS HELL. One star. | |
