"30 Days of Night" DVD, Blu-rayDavid Slade's feverish horror movie is built on stock elements, true, but it's still fun and the premise behind it is ingenious.
In Barrow, Alaska, during a period where the sun literally doesn't shine for one month, vampires descend to chew on throats, suck blood and wreak havoc. Who needs caskets when the pitch dark is pervasive?
Josh Hartnett is Barrow's sheriff, Eben, who must deal with these icy visitors while the deadly circumstances allow him to warm up to his estranged wife, Stella (Melissa George).
What ensues is a B-movie peppered with plot holes aplenty, but also sufficient suspense and action. For those coming to the movie only for that, it's unlikely that they'll be disappointed.
Rated R. Grade: B-
