Good horror movie with good acting, just a bit slow

Rating: 6/10 (15 March 2008)

30 Days of night was actually an OK film in my own opinion, the only flaw I found in it was that it felt a little long, the action scenes had a few moments, but the storyline seemed to fall flat in terms of new ideas, the vampires were definitely presented in a different way, but the overall storyline is just about a handful of people trying to survive 30 days of night being hunted by vampires, and thats pretty much it, no major character development and no complicated story that draws you in, its just straight forward and simple.
I do disagree with reviews stating that the film had two weak leads, Josh Hartnett and Melissa Goerge's performances may not have carried the film but they did give good performances, considering I've always thought you can't really judge the acting in this type of film or any other horror film, because there are some good horror movies with relatively bad acting, and bad horror movies with actors you don't ever want to see again.
Overall, good horror movie with good acting, just a bit slow.
