30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Official Sony Pictures Website
A year since the 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, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Kiele Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Rhys Coiro, Diora Baird and Harrold Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Mia Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on Stella’s 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.
Trailer de ‘30 Days of Night: Dark Days’, Kiele Sanchez personifica a Stella Oleson
Si todavía no viste la impecable (y una de las mejores películas de vampiros de los últimos tiempos a mi gusto) 30 Days of Night, no sé que estas esperando para ir a verla… bueno, todavía no, primero lee las notas que aun no leíste de Celuloide Mutante, y después manos a la obra!
30 Days of Night es la adaptación de la serie de comics (novelas graficas para los mas exquisitos) del mismo nombre, creados por Steve Niles (guion/historia) y Ben Templesmith (arte). Tanto éxito tuvieron estos comics que varias secuelas vieron la luz. Una de ellas se titulo 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. Obviamente, productores rápidos y sin mucho que perder, pusieron en marcha la maquinaria y nos traen la película de dicho comic, que promete tener la misma fidelidad que tuvo su antecesora.
La cinta lamentablemente no tiene la producción de la primera, y con solo investigar un poco nos podemos dar cuenta de que se trata de otra de esas “secuelas innecesarias”, donde tomando la fama y el éxito de su primera entrega, intentan vendernos un producto de bajo presupuesto. Y acá es donde aparece la productora (muy clase B a mi gusto) llamada Stage 6 Films (además de Dark Horse Entertainment y Ghost House Pictures), responsable de películas como Boogeyman 3, Vacancy 2: The First Cut, The Grudge 3, Messengers 2: The Scarecrow o la próxima Hostel: Part III, de la mano de Scott Spiegel (From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money).
La dirección está a cargo del debutante Ben Ketai, quien hace su primer largometraje luego de escribir y dirigir algunos capítulos de la miniserie 30 Days of Night: Blood Trails y de la serie 30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust. La bella Kiele Sanchez (Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, Insanitarium, A Perfect Getaway) personifica a Stella Oleson, protagonizada por la blonda Melissa George en la primera parte. Le sigue Mia Kirshner (The Crow: City of Angels, The Black Dahlia, Not Another Teen Movie), Harold Perrineau (The Matrix Reloaded & The Matrix Revolutions, 28 Weeks Later, Felon) y Troy Ruptash (Gardens of the Night, Friends with Money, Leaving Metropolis).
Ha pasado un año desde que la aislada población de Barrow, Alaska fue diezmada por vampiros durante su mes de oscuridad absoluta. Llena de dolor por la muerte de su esposo Eben, Stella Oleson ha pasado los últimos meses viajando por el mundo, tratando de convencer a otros que los vampiros existen. Tras encontrarse con el escepticismo y las burlas, y a punto de dejar toda esta lucha sin sentido, conoce a un grupo de almas perdidas que le ofrece una increíble oportunidad: la oportunidad de vengarse a Lilith, la reina de los vampiros, responsable del asalto a su pueblo de Alaska. Con nada que perder, y el miedo que aun recorre sus venas, Stella se une a la misión y se adentra en las entrañas desconocidas de Los Ángeles, donde llegara a enfrentarse con los peligros más extremos para detener el mal que nuevamente la persigue.
