30 Days of Night

The Plot: After an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.

The Pros: This movie is extremely scary. I found myself physically leaping out of my seat at times. The imagery is beautifully horrifying, as is the sound, and the blood is abundant. This film accomplishes its mission: it is scary as hell.

The Cons: Sadly, the story is basically non-existant. A few moments of meaningless chatter between the vampires serves as the bulk of the plot, but otherwise it's merely a montage of scary scenes.

The Bottom Line: Unfortunately, 30 Days of Night ends up being a bunch of scary moments gathered together to form a film. But, I'll be damned if those scenes aren't executed flawlessly. The sound is intense, the visuals are absorbing, and endless gore floods the scene red. This is a scary movie, but if you're looking for something with substance, watch 1408 instead. 

The Score: 6.5 / 10
