30 Days Of Night

I went into the theater hoping for at least a decent scary movie after so many flawed ones this year...and i got much more than i expected. This was definitely worth the 8 bucks i paid for it.

The shots in the movie are superb. The landscapes, the town, the blood, everything was done so amazingly. The vampires were so damn believable! That's the reason it's so scary...the designs are so amazing...the blood on their face, the eyes, the teeth. And they are not over the top either...just look at this:

that's not a beard lol! it's blood...damn cool effect. danny huston is a badass vampire in this movie. Josh Hartnet is VERY good at his role. Actually all the characters were amazing in this movie. I think the reason this is is because nothing is too over the top. It makes you believe that it could happen in real life which is what left me trembling.

Once the action starts in this movie it doesn't stop, be prepared to jump on many occasions. Here's an overview of the movie:

In an Alaskan town, once a year there isn't any sunlight for 30 days. The vampires, seeing this as opportunity, send a guinea pig to cut the power off in the town so that they can traverse without getting burned alive. They immediately start to prey on everyone in the village and it's a fight for survival from the beginning till the end. The survivors must camp out in many different locations for 30 days until the sun comes up and the vampires disperse...

Very cool concept...if you love vampire movies then this is a must see! Go like right now! I loved this movie and will be seeing it again tonight as well!

9/10
For amazing shots, characters, and plot...

I can't wait for this to come out in the UK.

There hasn't been a decent horror film out in a long time.

I'm not saying I support this, but I heard it was horrible.
The movie was supposed to be boring. And, there's supposedly no good gore, blood, unique deaths or anything.
I haven't seen it just yet, so I don't know; but I'm a serious gorehound, so idk how I'll like this one.

That actually reminds me. Every couple of months, a friend of mine has a Horror Movie festival. Where, he invites literally anyone to come to his house to watch horror movies for 24+ hours.
At like 4 in the morning, in the middle of some z-star movie, we compiled a list that a perfect movie needs to have.

What I remember of said list is as follows:
1. Blood. Lots of blood
2. Nudity, the more the better
3. Blood and Nudity in the same scene. I.E. Naked girls getting slaughtered...
4. Unique Deaths. There's only so many times you can see someone get slit in the throat with a cut-throat razor before it's just boring. We need more of these.
5. Not just blood, but also, some good gore. Brains, intestines, eye ball goo...
6. Ideally, zombies.
7. If not zombies, some good monsters. No boring as vampires...
8. A demented killer is always(sometimes) a good choice.
9. If not a "demented" killer, one willing to kill with no actual motive is typically neat.

That's all I got. Reading that, how does 30 Days of Night stand up?

Coming from a filmakers point of view, how is it?
I dont see horror movies anymore because the gore and cheesy acting, but the way stef describes it makes it seem very interesting. I wasn't planning on seeing it, but hey, anything is better than "we own the night"!

I've heard mixed reviews from both sides, some love it, some loathe it, some couldn't care less cause they didn't stay through the whole thing. I'll probably end up seeing it, but i'll more than likely wait til it hits the cheap theatre, just in case it sucks, i won't feel ripped off

stef_o36 · 10-23-2007, 07:56 AM

ya you either like it or love it form the reviews i read...i was one who liked it but read up some reviews justin if ya need some help deciding bro...great movie in my mind

spleblem · 10-23-2007, 08:57 AM

rubanito · 10-23-2007, 06:32 PM

that movie shure iys good, but...will it release in portugal?

Nosympathy · 10-23-2007, 07:20 PM

i could tell from the preview that this movie was going to be different, and was going to finally be a Horror movie. I haven't seen it yet, but since some of you seem to feel like i do about Horrors, i can't wait to give this one a shot.

and to justin, i feel ya there man. These directors now-a-days seem to think that horror is alot of blood and things blowing up. I think back to the Halloween movies, which were amazing, and although there was blood, it was minimal compared to today, and they were actually scary!

i am kind of afraid of the new halloween movie, because im afriad if i see it, it'll be so badly done that it'll ruin the old one for me. I know this is for a diff movie, but anyone able to make a comparision?
