30 Days of Night

A few scary movies came out around Halloween this year. Of the choices, 30 Days of Night looked the most promising. While it definitely wasn’t the worst scary movie ever, it did have its disappointments.

The movie is set in Barrow, Alaska during the month of no sun. The plot is pretty simple: vampires come and kill a lot of people. There are some other minor details, like the people that are trying to survive the attack, but that’s the basic gist of it. The whole movie is action between vampires killing people and people killing vampires. If you do decide to see it, you should expect to see a lot of fake blood.

The main problem with this movie was the high expectations we had. A lot of people saw it on Halloween and then said it was the scariest movie ever. We got really excited and decided we had to see just how scary it was. You can imagine our disappointment when “scary” turned out to be “gory,” something we don’t appreciate nearly as much. Aside from a few startling moments, we were just shielding our eyes from the people-eating that was occuring.Our review is slightly affected by what we thought the movie would be, so let us know what you thought of it.  Overall, we would say it was not super scary, but it also was not completely lame. And it came with a good message to anyone considering moving to Barrow, Alaska: first of all - don’t move there, and second of all - if you do, watch out for vampires!
