30 Days of Night

30 Days of Night was pretty much the first scary vampire movie I ever saw--and probably the only one that didn't either try to make them sexy, or turn into an action movie. Unfortunately, it suffered from way too much Josh Hartnett, who is totally unbelievable as a hero of anything. Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds dull. While the movie looks cool--the vampires are badass, and there were several awesome sequences (especially when one of them jumps on top of the car, and it's all silvery and black and flickery, and an aerial shot that pans over the whole town as the vampires wreak havoc), the awesome parts didn't add up to an awesome movie. It remained entertaining throughout, but I don't know that it will stick with me--by the end, I didn't know any of the characters names or care. It fails to make the emotional connection of the similar, but far superior, 28 Days Later.
