30 Days Of Night is a vampire movie based on a graphic novel. However, this isn't your typical vampire movie and the vamps featured are not your typical "sexy" vampires ala the sappy-crappy Twilight flicks. No, these vampires are anything but sexy as they are nothing more--or less--than inhuman killing machines. If there were such a thing as vampires, these vamps would probably be closer to--dare I say it!--reality. In the film, the vampires attack an Alaskan town that's clad in darkness for a straight month. No man, woman or even child is safe from their bloodthirsty attack. The town sheriff along with this girlfriend and a small group of survivors try to take on the vampires which culminates in a fight between the sheriff and the head vampire after the sheriff (spoiler alert!) turns himself into a vampire so he can defeat him. If you're idea of a "good" vampire flick are in fact the Twilight flicks, then you might want to stear clear of this flick. However, if you like your vampire flicks with a bit more--again, dare I say it!--bite, then 30 Days Of Night could be the vampire flick for you! A sidenote: The film's sequel Dark Days picks up where the first one left off with the dead sheriff's girlfriend hunting down the vampires with the help of a group of vampire hunters led by a half-vampire. It's not as good as the first one, it probably goes without saying, but it'll do in a pinch.
