Bloody Brilliant

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2015)

One of my favourite vampire movies, 30 Days Of Night has bite and with that bite comes lashings of blood. When a town is plunged into a yearly period of total darkness, vampires descend onto the town for dinner, hut the strong willed town's people aren't going down without a fight. Melissa George and Josh Hartnett are exceptional as a recently split couple, this relationship doesn't burden the vampiric excitement, it enlivens it, putting you in fear for their lives, and the situation develops their characters. The camera-work pans slowly stirring tension, and the bloodthirsty vamps jump out regularly so you'll shudder quite a lot. You'll have fun with 30 Days Of Night, it totally brings fresh blood to the genre and is a breathe of fresh air amongst all the Twilight madness.
