Nothing interesting in this vampire movie.

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2008)

It feels like it's been awhile since a vampire movie has been released (apart from the crappy Blade: Trinity).
30 Days of Night is a decent action movie, however, it doesn't do characters very well. I found myself not really caring when any of them died. The whole marriage-on-the-rocks subplot also seemed pretty pointless and poorly executed.
Another problem, was that the enemy (vampires) that the group was facing were just WAY too powerful. The vampires were fast enough to catch up to a speeding car and strong enough to flip that car completely over, they could jump at least 20 feet into the air, they were very agile fighters, they were pretty intelligent, and on top of that there were at least 50 of them hunting a group of 5.
Also, the ending was pretty ridiculous, even for a vampire movie.
So, why did I give it a 5/10? Well, between all the awfully developed characters and the stupid ending. The movie had some suspenseful scenes. All the blood and action in the beginning had me believing that the small town stood a chance against this (then unidentified) enemy.
