Should have been 3 Days of night - Don't read if you have not watched the film

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2007)

To be honest I really enjoyed this film, thought it was a good addition to the horror genre and much better than some of the garbage that comes out these days. I thought the acting, effects and story were fine, my only problem with this film and maybe I am been a bit picky is: Day 1 Vampires appear and slaughter most of the town, a group of survivors head into an attic of an abandoned house; a couple of deaths later; Day 3 'Flashes up' there is a snow storm so they head to a weapons store and end up camping out there as the snow storm ends; Day 7 'Flashes up' (a few more deaths) the remaining survivors head to the police station and camp down; Day 27 'FLASHES UP', I was thinking WHAT ? they have camped out for 27 days in the police station eating what ?, why have the vampires not been around looking for these people, why would the vampires have hung around if there was no one left to eat, the survivors see a flashing torch light in a neighbouring house window and decide to investigate, why would you bother ?? Only 3 days to go till sunlight comes back and you take a pointless risk, anyway a few more deaths and in the end with only about 10 minutes till sunrise and Josh Hartnett decides to turn himself into a vampire to save his missus, who clearly was going to be OK anyway as she stood by the truck she was hiding under all the time he was fighting the head vampire and the fire never reached her anyway ! Like I say it was a good film but it would have been more believable had it only been 3 days of night, there was no real reason for it to have been called 30 days of night as Barrow in Alaska actually has around 67 days of night.
