30 Days of Night: Dark Days (2010)

The survivor of the Alaska massacre is now hunting the remaining vampires but they have a new plan.

Most of the effects are of a consisntent standard, particulalrly the sun destroying ones and some aspects add to the lore slightly. It is at least a variation of the original story rather than re-using the original concept, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t adopt those of other vampiret series or film sagas.

Immediately it was apparent that this sequel lacked the experimentalism and originality of the first film, most notably because it adopts the setting of most modern vampire films which is the big city. Whereas the predecessor was isolated and vulnerable because of the extended darkness, this is on the same playing field as most vampire fiction, including foreknowedge.

The lead character is engaging enough and there’s a little variety in the band of helpers, especially in terms of back story, however none of them are conclusively proven and it never becomes practically relevant. At least the film refrained from doing the typical deciet good-guy technique where a friend turns out to be working for the villains.

Several of the death scenes were over far too fast. The good vampire was a major player but got killed off in a cursory fashion. In the same way the only black character gets destroyed fairly early on and even though the main villain is a woman, she gets a big build-up and then the reveal is underwhelming and her death is quicker than the detective who is a minor character.

3/10 -This one’s bad but it’s got some good in it, just there-

-There were originally flares in the script but were replaced by glow sticks for saftety reasons.

-Much of the fake blood in the drinking scenes was a mix of grapefruit juice and cranberry juice.

-Lillith was a character based on the wife of Vlad the Impaler who bathed in the blood of young women in an attempt to absorb their youth.
