30 Days of Night

 

USA 2007, 113 minutes
Dir. David Slade
Genres: Horror / Vampires

 

Aroview: Stylish vampire movie with a potentially great twist: it pits the citizens of an Arctic Circle town - plunged into darkness one month every year - against hordes of opportunistic undead.

Helmed by music director turned filmmaker David Slade (HARD CANDY), and therefore awash with high-end visuals and innovative set-pieces, the film gladly indulges the cult of splatter and zombie pictures, though as a trade off, lacks the human dimension to transcend the horror genre. The grizzly Danny Huston provides brief value as a bloodthirsty vampire leader, but like the rest of the cast, is ultimately a pedestrian (or victim) among the gory action. Based on a popular graphic novel, and shot entirely in New Zealand (with Auckland doubling for Alaska).
