"30 Days Of Night" Moive Review


** excessive use of the word Poo may occour.
This is something that I hope to do quite a bit more of. I love movies and all things film related.
Hopefully you will be inspired to go and see something I recommend or avoid wasting your time on something crap, anyway here goes.

30 Days of Night, is a movie based on a graphic novel (aka Comic book) written by Perth born Ben Templesmith. The movie to be short , is crap. There is some good suspense and a little on the horror side of things. However that is where the redeeming elements end.

Now I am not the best person to see a horror flick, mainly because I like, nay, Demand , that logic be present and accounted for. I have no problems with the idea of vampire, nosferatue, santa or Jesus. But if you spend 30 minutes setting up a world of characters and rules then for Gods sake, stick to them!!

For those of you that want to know more about the film or the story there are plenty of places you can find out, but I dare say that this is the only place where you can read about the plot holes and the naffness. So if you want to see this movie beware SPOILER AHEAD, and I mean a big one!

ok here goes.
1. How does someone destroy all the mobile phones, faxes, telephones, cable, internet, and radios all in one day, and no one but two cops notice?
2.Vampires are allowed to speak english , its been done before, having them cry and moan in some strange language, then making me read subtitles, is stooopid
3. If you tell the audience that there are 128 people in the town at the start of the movie, you cant show 200 people getting killed, find a calculator.
4. Vampires on a murderous rage that kill 195 people on the first night, dont have another 70 people to kill in the next 30 days. Where are all these extra victims coming from? Are they being air dropped in?
5. Why cant vampires, with their extra smell, strength and whot not, find 12 people that are hiding in a well hidden attic?
6. How come in 30 days, no one poos, eats, or drinks?
7.Why do you spend 29.9 days fighting vampires only to make yourself become one in the lasst 0.1 of a day? Is it to rescue the girl hiding under the truck? She's been hiding there for a month another 20 minutes would be ok.
8. Why AFTER condemning yourself to death, does your old flame reveal to you that she still loves you, talk about bad timing!
9. Melissa George, a fire marshal, in Alaska?? What the hell is a fire marshal anyway, do they marshal the fire towards the water?
10. What possible reason did the 10 surviving people think that they needed to move to the other end of town, on the last day before the sun cam back? You have been in the Attic ( without pooping or eating), for a month, don't go running all the way over the vampire invested town on the last day, just to make sure you are safe!

So there you go, now you don't need to see it. If you still have the urge you can always get some home made popcorn lock yourself in a wardrobe and see how long you can last with out pooping!
