30 Days of Night: Dark Days
Since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

I remember when I saw the original 30 Days of Night in theaters. it was 2007.shortly after the film’s release, when I was visiting my little sister in Philadelphia for her birthday. we were going to a drag show that night for her annual celebrations, but since she had the day off and nothing better to do, we trudged for about a half an hour through lousy rainy weather to see the new vampire flick by producers (and Evil Dead creators) Sam Raimi and Rob Tappert. with an intriguing cast including Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston and Ben Foster, Days looked like the kind of film I NEEDED to see. My sister wasn’t as enthused, but agreed to go along to give it a shot. By the time the final credits had finished rolling, we were in agreement: it was a FAR better film than either of us expected. with a surprisingly strong performance from Hartnett (who was on his way out as a leading film actor) and good performances from the underrated George, character actor Huston, and the extremely talented Foster, not to mention amazing special effects and makeup, awe-inspiring cinematography, a unique setting and more gore than you can shake a from a hundred bloated corpses, and you can see why the film was so popular. besides being based on the popular comic series of the same name, the film did a great job of putting vampires back in the position of being horror monsters, something Twilight and Vampire Diaries fans seem to forget ever happening. Of course, director David Slade would seemingly forget that same thing himself when he directed The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, but I digress. 30 Days of Night was a horse of a different color, blood red.
Hey, didn’t you get killed off in Lost?My fond memories of this time 3 years ago are pretty much the only reason I picked up 30 Days of Night: dark Days. I certainly could have left it in the rental machine: I’d already picked out the previously-reviewed Human Centipede and Robin Hood, certainly more than enough for a short-term rental. Yet I couldn’t help but be drawn in enough to take a shot with it. After all, while being a direct-to-DVD sequel to a quality film usually means that it’s a steaming pile of unmentionables, there was always the chance that THIS film will be the one to break that particular mold. Hey, it could happen. (more…)

30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Kiele Sanchez
“30 Days of Night: Dark Days”. Silly suckers! Here’s the lowdown:
Synopsis: After surviving the incidents in Barrow, Alaska, Stella (that chick) relocates to Los Angeles, where she intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Gary Numan.
Here’s hoping that Sony will follow through with its plans to produce the filmic third and final chapter of the trilogy based on Steve Niles’ 2004 graphic novel 30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow. Dark Days leaves the possibility wide open, and while the sequel’s stunning finale is most satisfying, there are threads left to be tied. This reviewer would like to see the final knot.
Stars: Kiele Sanchez, Rhys Coiro and Diora Baird
