Review: 30 Days of Night
Movie coming from the Raimi/Tapert production company Ghost House Pictures, which specializes in these horror flicks, and this one is no different. The bad thing is obvious, there aren’t many in this genre that will really stand out, in its own genre or even harder, in all genres. This movie follows the predictable vampire story line, and fails with the rest. There’s no new angle on the story, there’s no background story to explore nor are characters anything special. While the ending might make up for a few points, overall there’s nothing new to tell except for the expected. And that’s a bit strange having David Slade as a director (the intense Hard Candy) and Stuart Beattie as the writer (the character driven Collateral), but showing none of the strong points of their previous movies.6½.
