30 Days of Night


After having a long vacation, and as many of my friends thought, retirement from blogging, I finally decided to come back. This time around I thought I would write about movies.

30 Days of night is a good movie if you are an an insomniac and haven't slept for 30 days. Frankly, I am not much interested in horror movies, cause the plots don't get to me. But this one was a little different you can say. I liked the idea of having a realistic place of action at Barrow, Alaska, though there was little or no resemblance (as the pictures looked to me). I doubt people out there will live quite that peacefully after watching this movie.

Moving from the plot, the screenplay was ok types. Since it was inspired from the graphic novel which became so famous, it was bound to be good. The vampires are no good if you have watched a lot of other horror movies. They all seem like the rest. You get an idea about what's going to happen as the movie moves along and for me there was little or no suspense. The movie probably drew crowds cause of Josh Hartnett and Charlize Theron. Acting was good by them and the side actors.

So, if you have nothing to do and just got a lot of download limit left, go ahead and watch this movie. It will do you no good though. It is one of those movies which you shouldn't buy but rent if you really watch to watch.


Rating 2.0 out of 5.0
