I wanted to love this instead of like it

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2008)

As the 30 days of night sets in the town finds itself under siege by a group of vampires. Filled with haunting images this film was mixed bag for me. To be certain the build up to the siege is very good. There is something about the way the story is told that keeps you watching even though its not the most logical of story lines. The problem for me is that once things really get set in motion there are lapses in logic that distract from often fun proceedings. Granted I was watching this very late at night so there is a chance that I missed something, but I never quite understood why the vampires-if they were so clever to get to Barrow because of the night would have waded into the population with such a blood lust that would have left them with no one to eat two days after they started. There are a few other WTF moments that keep the film from being great, but over all its worth a shot on cable on a Saturday night if nothing else.
