It’s definitely that time of year again - the cinemas are full of horror movies.
And this one’s about vampires!
Really think about them.
What comes to mind?
These vampires are not pretty.
They are not seductive.
Needless to say, I loved it.
Thats not to say30 Days of Nightis going to break any new ground.
No, its a fairly standard horror movie.
People trapped in places, monsters everywhere, lots of screaming and shooting, people gushing blood.

Barrow, Alaska is a town at the top of the world.
Every year, for 30 days, there is no sun in Barrow.
Even the radio station in Barrow closes down.
So hey dont hunt me down, children of the night.)
Its a film with flaws, certainly.
Its a bit dumber than the graphic novels on which it is based.
However, all of that is forgiven when the first horrifying vampire attack happens.
I really enjoyed myself.
Maybe it is because the current crop of horror films has been mediocre, to say the least.
Turn your brain off and enjoy yourself.
Ron Hogan went into this movie assuming it would suck.
