Horrible waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2008)

This is one of the worst films I've ever watched. The basic idea sounds good - 30 days of night sounds like an all-you-can-eat buffet for vampires, right? - but the plot, dialog, and acting are all uniformly bad. Only gore-fest fans who don't care about anything else will find this film enjoyable.
The lead vampire does nothing except screech and glare, but I'd rate him as the best actor in the film. At least he shows a much better range than the wooden performances of the leading man and woman. Unfortunately the vampires, despite their superhuman powers, are made into bumbling idiots by the plot. 30 days of night and they can't even search a small town? I thought vampires were only supposed to sleep in the day time, so what was this bunch doing the whole time?
I could go on for a long time, but don't want to include anything that might be considered a spoiler. Though the word "spoiler" is not something that could meaningfully be applied to this piece of trash.
