30 Days of Night

Danny Huston as the vampire leader in 30 Days of Night
I've not actually been to the movies for a couple of weeks, nothing has made me want to go. I certainly couldn't pass up a vampire movie though, and I thought 30 Days of Night was a great flick.

As a month of night falls on the distant city of Barrow, Alaska, strange things begin to happen as the town is slowly cut off from leaving or communicating. The vampires then attack, not fearing the dawn that wont be coming for 30 days. No spoilers beyond that, but it's very fast paced and has a good balance of spooky atmosphere and bloody gore (it is a vampire movie, after all).

I'm not a fan of Josh Hartnett. His near-unmoving mask rarely seems to emote any feeling, no matter what the scene. However, I think even he did a decent job in the film. My favorite character was strangely the lead vampire, played by Danny Houston, who does evil very well and very creepy.

Did I enjoy the movie? Very much.
Watch it again? Yes.
Buy the DVD? Yes.
