A Vampyre film that asks huge questions about vampyres but with no answers ?

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2008)

What more could a horror flick deliver.......Vampyres and 30 days of night in an Alaskan Village cut off from all civilisation. It sounds fantastic but sadly this film does not deliver.
Where did the vampyres come from ? What is the history of the vampyres especially their strange leader ? Where have the vampyres been before coming to this Alaskan town to feed ? Why haven't the vampyres been to this Alaskan town before as its a perfect feeding ground for them ? All of these questions needed an answer to give the film some depth and unfortunately none do..... So we have a film where a big metal boat turns up full of vampyres who proceed to kill everything they can in the Alaskan town and you don't learn anything about them what so ever (other than they hate God and don't believe in him). Then they suddenly vanish again and its story over ? Anyone could have written this screenplay.
30 Days of Night had huge potential but was just too jumpy and had no real depth in the characters apart from the two main heroes. If you want to watch this film, wait till it comes out on TV as its not worth paying for. Its just such a shame as the story had great potential.
