The fact that the movie takes place in the cold Alaska where just the
sun went down for 30 days would be ideal for any horror movie. This alone should have provided an atmosphere that would creep us out whenever
something strange happens. The problem is that the movie never gets
scary or creepy even. It never makes good use of the setting. The lack
of atmosphere could have been compensated with solid action scenes or
building up some kind of tension. Not once did I feel despair or agony.
And how can we care for the characters if we don't really know them. The
vampires appear in numbers and overwhelm the people living in the town.
But when things are looking bad for the main characters the creatures
just stop and vanish when they easily could have defeated them. This
doesn't make any sense. Also we never learn about the vampires. Why are
they in Alaska for god's sake? Only one explanation is given but also
isn't good enough. There are some surprises in the movie that make the
movie stand out a bit. But comes much to late to really enjoy the
movie. I was so disappointed with 30 Days of Night because it could
have been so much better. The rare moments that are enjoyable just
don't cut it. Very average!
