BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

jacobjohntaylor1 30 day of night was a great movie. And this is a just awful. Do not see it. It is one the worst movie ever. See the first movie of 30 days of Night. Do not bother with this awful movie. This is not a good movie at all. It is not scary. It has an awful story line. It also has an awful ending. Do not see this movie.

Michael Ledo SO THIS IS THE SEQUEL?I don't know where to start. It wasn't that great. The ending of the movie epitomized the deplorable script writing. Stella is attempting to tell the world about vampires while the government is trying to cover it up. The local FBI man is in cahoots with the vampires as he desires to be one. A group of vampire hunters meets Stella in her room and asks her to join them (along with a turncoat vampire) to go into the underground tunnels of L.A. and hunt down and kill Lilith, the vampire queen. Lilith speaks a strange tongue with subscripts, until the very end when she can suddenly speak English. The acting wasn't all that great. This is another movie which uses the high tech "special effect" of jerking the camera around to make us feel the terror of the scene (yawn!) because the script can't do it.Lilith, in ancient folklore, fed off the blood on infants. They seemed to have messed that up too. If you watched the first one, go ahead and get disappointed on this one.

ASouthernHorrorFan OK so I finally got around to watching "30 Days of Night: Dark Days" and at the start I felt I was gonna have a hard time watching this movie and being totally hooked in. I liked the plot line of having a Barrow survivor as the heroine. 'Stella' played by Kiele Sanchez was a strong character from the start so I felt it is gonna work. Then the story took this whole "we are the warriors" turn with a group of misfit hunters entering the scene and I thought "oh no" they are gonna take every cliché step through this blood gushing battlefield plot-line. Blood gushing is what kept me in on this aspect, the effects and the gore were as good as any bigger budget movie, this was its saving grace.The script could have been tighter on this one, especially with the character of "Amber" played by Diora Baird. She started out all bad ass and big talk but her actions were anything but right up until the end, then she finally stepped up, but half ass and not enough to warrant writing her character as some Zena of L.A. Still in every scene that mattered the blood saves the scene. The story was kinda weak and played out for the middle part of this movie.The last section of this movie was the salvation. It was here that we bring it back around to why Barrow? Here the blood and gore were plenty and necessary, to make this movie worth it. I am not gonna give details on the ending just in case some one out there has not yet seen it. I will say that this ending was what made me forget that the whole time I was watching this I kept thinking " I hope this movie doesn't suck". Had this movie ended any different I would say "yeah it did, but I can say it is worth seeing for Vampire fans who like their demons vicious and unforgiving. I am one of those people. However it is a weak film next to the original and barely makes it above the webisodes "30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust". If I rated things on scales (which I don't) out of 5 I would give it 3, being generous on that simple because of the blood and gore, and the full circle back to the beginning. That may kinda be a spoiler there not sure. Oh well.So there you have my rambling thoughts on this movie. See it if you wanna see but don't feel bad if you never get around to it. Just a horror fan not in anyway some kinda real critic.

KineticSeoul This is a decent straight to DVD sequel and actually quite watchable. Sure there is obvious plot-holes and things just don't connect well with the first "30 Days of Night". But for a straight to DVD sequel it's actually a entertaining popcorn flick, sure it's dumb in some areas but it's watchable. After the incident from the first movie the female protagonist Stella played by a different actress is trying to prove that vampire exists to the world. But the the vampires does thing to make it like she is crazy and it's just a hoax. And in this time instead of running and hiding, well there is running and hiding. Stella joins a group of vampire hunters that had similar experiences and have lost loved ones and tries to go on hunts. And there main target is the queen of the vampires. There is quite a bit of vampire fighting action in this movie and the production value is alright for a straight to DVD movie. It's a dumb vampire hunting movie but it doesn't get to the point where it got really annoying because of it. And was somewhat entertaining.6/10
