30 Days of Night: Dark Days

Just so very...meh.

So I wasn&apos;t what you would call, a huge fan for the first 30 Days of Night movie. I hadn&apos;t read the graphic novel, but I heard the movie was a fairly accurate adaptation of it. I did enjoy it, but I felt the pacing was slow, the characters weren&apos;t very well acted or flushed out, and really for a movie...devoid of any extensive plot. It was a slow, but occasionally fun watch.

Dark Days, the straight to DVD sequel of 30DON, delivers a lot of the same, only with a smaller budget. The basic plot is as follows: Stella Oleson, one of the few survivors of the first movie (albeit played by a different actress), is out for revenge on all vampires for the death of her beloved husband Eben. She makes her way to a major city, where she holds what are essentially vampire awareness seminars as a way to draw out the occasional one or two inquisitive vampires. This catches the attention of a small pod of vampire hunters, who contact her for their crusade against the uber vampire...Lilith.

The plot really isn&apos;t too shabby, but feels very under worked in this film. The lead females&apos; (except for Lilith who has maybe a total of 5-7 minutes screen time) have a pretty believable performance, the lead males are...eh...well they&apos;re there at least.

The special effects for a straight to DVD are actually really well done in this film, it&apos;s somewhere in between expensive made for TV movies and terrible Hollywood films that should never have made it to the big screen. Cgi isn&apos;t hokey, make-up design for the most part is pretty well done. Although the teeth prosthetic look well...well they&apos;re kind of like those fake vampire teeth you pick up in the 99c bin during Holloween. Some of the gruesome death scenes and graphic gore is done quite nicely though.

The reason I didn&apos;t really care for this movie is the pacing is just terrible. The plot doesn&apos;t have enough material to fill up an entire movie, so we get these long dull sequences that just feel like filler. The action isn&apos;t too bad, but all of it is filmed in darkness illuminated by flickering lights. The scenery is almost entirely a warehouse district, and tunnel scenes...which can easily BE shot in a warehouse, so your eyes will get bored with the sets. This combined with the sub-par acting by many individuals in this film...just made this film so very...meh.

Basically it was interesting enough that I was able to sit and finish watching it, but it&apos;s a completely forgettable film for anyone who&apos;s not a die-hard 30 DON fan. It&apos;s a fairly bland vampire action flick, personally if I were to watch it with company I&apos;m fairly certain everyone would be too bored to finish it.
