Movie review of 30 days of Night

30 days of Night - 4.5/10
Directed by David Slade

Plot Summary
Alaskan town goes through a month of darkness once a year because of the blizzard.
This time a gang of vampires comes in and "makan" them.
Based on the comic book of the same name.

Review
Nothing fantastic about this movie even though I love vampires. I haven't read the comic books yet so I ain't really sure if it follows close to it. The vampires look kinda weird though, like a cross between an alien and a vampire. They speak in latin or some scandinavian language. As you watch the movie, you kinda feel that the pace is sometimes in a big rush and also you might have this feeling that there are some missing scenes. Acting is nothing fantastic(its josh hartnett), the editing is much to be desired. Also there isn't much of a scare factor either especially for those who want to be spooked. Only recommended for the comic book fans, if possible watch it through a rented dvd.
