30 Days of Night Review

28th April, 9:01 AM

[WEBSITE]

After looking up 30 Days of Night on IMDB and seeing the fairly impressive score of around 7 I decided to watch it.

The story is about a small remote town in Alaska that doesn't see any sun for 30 days every year. Sadly for the town, vampires decide to visit for a bit(e) of lunch!

I won't go into details too much - you can view the 30 Days of Night trailer.

All in all I thought it was a great film with some good solid acting which I don't normally see in these types of films.

I was shocked by a scene near the end which involved an axe and someones head! I don't normally get impressed with the special effects in a horror movie so it was something of a treat!

Watch it - I'd give it a 7.5/10
