30 Days Of Night

Who's in it? Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston
What's it about? After an Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month, it is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires.
What type of film is it? Chiller
Is it any good? No, sadly. I’m amazed how someone could take a potentially edge-of-the-seat “cat and mouse” scenario and somehow make it boring. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George look confused throughout, the rest of the cast are like wallpaper and you end up not caring if any of them make it out alive. Also, the vampires – while they look great – aren’t really that threatening and the noise they make is annoying rather than terrifying. Watch The Thing and The Lost Boys on DVD at home instead.
