When's the last time we had this kind of approach in a horror movie?

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2007)

30 Days Of Night is nearly two hours of sweat, swears and carnage. This film is also very dark, heavily plotted, and shocking. All these things I've described snap together to make 30 Days Of Night the best horror film of 2007, with the arguable exception of "Planet Terror".
We all know that in horror films, the violence is usually represented much more heavily and continuously, right? Well, in this film, it pretty much pushes that aspect to the limit, considering it is a comic book adaption. But this film, is so vicious, that you couldn't keep up with the death count even if you had a notepad and a pen on you.
The two actors, Ben Foster and Danny Huston, are surprisingly the leaders of the pack in this film. Even though they both aren't lead characters. Ben Foster, is an easily great actor, because he did pretty much everything his role asked him too. Danny Huston, is easily probably the best actor in the whole film, for his creepily effective performance as leader of the gang of vampires.
All together, without giving spoilers I can't describe to much about the plot that you wouldn't have already heard on IMDb. So all I can tell you is that this film is stocked full of thrills. Horror fans will adore it's no-barred grisly approach with how the violence plays through the film. Many, many graphic arterial sprays and other unimaginable and ruthless imagery you can only imagine in nightmares is placed on display throughout the film. If you're not a fan of horror, or are faint of heart, you will probably not enjoy this film to much, but if you are, you will go berserk. An energetic and brutal horror film.
