I love horror films - and its been an age since I saw a really good one. I’d been chatting to my mate who does the Watchmen Film Blog and he recomended that I get down to the video shop and get 30 Days of Night out. I’d tried to avoid this purely on the basis that it featured some actress from Neighbours (who I last saw in Silent Hill) and Josh Harnett. I was expecting it to be pants.

Thank god it wasn’t. It was one of the best little horror movies I’ve seen in a long time. the storyline is that a wee town in Alaska is so far north that once a year for thrity days there is no sun (hence 30 Days of Night). Some enterprising vampires work out this sounds like a Vampiric McDonalds on offer. So away they romp slitting throats, decapitating people, snapping limbs, draining blood and basically killing everyone in front of them.

A small band of residents try and outlast the vampiric assault - led by the Josh Harnet character Evan.

I would suggest if you love horror movies to go and get this one.
