Yes it's cliché, but it's still good.

Rating: 4/10 (19 September 2008)

When I first saw it, I really hated it. And still part of me hates it. I was never a fan of vampire movies; mainly because they're so cheesy. I thought Stephen King's modern-vampire book 'Salem's Lot was decent, but I have never seen a vampire movie that didn't bore me. And I can't say 30 Days of Night changed that, either.
The good: - Quite bloody, compared to modern movies. - Camera-work was brilliant. - The premise was brilliant. - The ending was neat.
The bad: - The vampires were as cheesy as humanly possible. - I was so bored I almost left the theater. - They couldn't resist using the insanely cliché little girl scene. - The cut-off scenes (and there were quite a few) dumbed it down.
Overall: I guess I'm just glad someone made an atmospheric, bloody movie with somewhat of a punk spin to it.
4/10
