OK so I finally got around to watching "30 Days of Night: Dark Days" and at the start I felt I was gonna have a hard time watching this movie and being totally hooked in. I liked the plot line of having a Barrow survivor as the heroine. 'Stella' played by Kiele Sanchez was a strong character from the start so I felt it is gonna work. Then the story took this whole "we are the warriors" turn with a group of misfit hunters entering the scene and I thought "oh no" they are gonna take every cliché step through this blood gushing battlefield plot-line. Blood gushing is what kept me in on this aspect, the effects and the gore were as good as any bigger budget movie, this was its saving grace.The script could have been tighter on this one, especially with the character of "Amber" played by Diora Baird. She started out all bad ass and big talk but her actions were anything but right up until the end, then she finally stepped up, but half ass and not enough to warrant writing her character as some Zena of L.A. Still in every scene that mattered the blood saves the scene. The story was kinda weak and played out for the middle part of this movie.The last section of this movie was the salvation. It was here that we bring it back around to why Barrow? Here the blood and gore were plenty and necessary, to make this movie worth it. I am not gonna give details on the ending just in case some one out there has not yet seen it. I will say that this ending was what made me forget that the whole time I was watching this I kept thinking " I hope this movie doesn't suck". Had this movie ended any different I would say "yeah it did, but I can say it is worth seeing for Vampire fans who like their demons vicious and unforgiving. I am one of those people. However it is a weak film next to the original and barely makes it above the webisodes "30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust". If I rated things on scales (which I don't) out of 5 I would give it 3, being generous on that simple because of the blood and gore, and the full circle back to the beginning. That may kinda be a spoiler there not sure. Oh well.So there you have my rambling thoughts on this movie. See it if you wanna see but don't feel bad if you never get around to it. Just a horror fan not in anyway some kinda real critic.

Well, they tried to adapt the comic book sequel to 30 Days of Night, but it did not live up to the precedent. First problem is the alteration to the comic book plot, by adding more random deaths and characters does not make the film any more frightening. There are lots of gun fights in this sequel even though we know guns do not kill vampires. It had a promising start but then it fell apart as soon as the side kicks were introduced. I dreaded the inevitable sex scene, it was completely hopeless to rescue this film from its destined fiasco finish.

I was really looking forward to this movie. But the first one is way better. I'll admit, this one was OK, but it's not as scary or bloody as the first. If you're wanting to see this series, I suggest watching the first one first, and if you really want to see what happens next, watch this one. If you didn't even like the first one, stay away from Dark Days.

Average sequel to the vampire hit from a few years back. This carries on from where the first one left off, albeit with different, unknown, actors which leads you to the immediate conclusion that this is more of B-movie that the first. But that shouldn't put you off really as Dark Days has a gritty, realistic feel to it as the wife of the sheriff killed by vamps in the first movie is out for revenge and its not long before she comes across a gang also out for the same thing and obviously becomes attracted to one of them. Dark Days does have its moments; some decent gore and it moves along at a fair pace with a few jumpy bits but overall its to predictable to be seen as anything other than a half decent cash in.

Far better story line then 30 day of night.

ready 4 a third part so hopefully it will be as good as the first one n second one

Stereotypical and formulaic, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is an uninspired sequel with little substance. The story continues as Stella Oleson tries to fight the government cover-up of what happened in Barrow, Alaska, and is recruited by a group of vampire hunters in search of the queen vampire, Lilith. The film falls back on the same tired old vampire tropes and has no imagination to speak of. The writing is poor and the characters are all one-dimensional. Some of the action is good, but it's mostly action for action's sake. Nearly everything that was interesting and unique about the first film is absent in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days.

A decent action horror flick. Way different in tone from the first. Kinda like comparing The Thing to Underworld.

'30 days: Dark days' is the sort of film we're you know it's going to be bad. I expected worse, but actually didn't turn out that bad. I loved it for it's Straight-to-dvd concept. The budget is low but the director managed to fit in alot of effects! Not saying the effects are realistic, but the director tried.. alittle..

understandably less-appreciated than the first movie, but i like a movie that tells me what happens afterwards and that's all i really like this movie for.

You know it's a bad sequel when: You can't get the orginal cast to join you...I'm no twilight fanatic or on the band wagon about Vampires, over the past 6 years Hollywood has spun the Mythological blood clenching creatures into the next black. With the heavy price of selling one's soul and dignity. 30 Days of Night (orginal) was the exception. The popular Graphic novels that i've enjoyed reading, was accurately depicted and historically researched. But once again, someones always looking to make a dollar, the spun sequel of 30 days of Night stole the orginals perfect, sold ending. Josh Hartnet was replaced by a digital reanimation and the main character was re-casted, D-listers were portrayed as pitiful, vengeful bounty hunters seeking justice, lacking a calculated or logical plan. It's safe to say: 30 Days of Night stole everything that was once worth while.

Doesn't have as much constant action, but I think the plot is great in this movie.

was alright. pretty intense and gorey, not too bad

not as good as the first film but not bad, ending a little disappointing

Not as good as the first one. But goos enough to watch
