As i was leaving my local CEX store with 30 Days of Nights,i spotted a disc on the side of a shelf,that was a prequel to the film,the was being sold for £1!.After having seen the short film(s),i feel that whilst there are some enjoyable moments in the movie,the film is ruined by very annoying stop/start "breaks" The plot:
A guy that is struggling to be a recovering drug addict (George) discovers a dying man outside a bar.Who,has been badly attacked by a vampire.In the last few minutes of the mans life,he writes a strange number patten on Georges arm.Due to this,George rushes to see one of his friends,who is an internet hacker,who has been trying decode a vampire website, with another friend of his.Though George has hardly any time to rest,when just as they have unlocked the code,the hackers get hacked to death by a murderous vampire.He decides the he needs to let everyone know about the information as fast as possible,whilst also trying to protect his girlfriend (Jenny).Though with the vamp catching up to them,they are going to have a very long night,to fight for their survival.. View on the film:
One of the things that surprised me was that,even though it looks like the film was shot on a very low budget,there are still some surprisingly fun splatter-gore moments in the film,from the director Victor Garcia (The decapitation of a internet hacker,being the most enjoyable part.)With the performances,i think that Andrew Laurich and Dani James Owen gave,some pretty good performances as two people,who seemed to be trying to out-run the night!.Though i was a bit sad when the best character in the film (the internet hacker) died way to early in the film(thankfully,they also gave him the best death scene,which involve a samurai sword.)Whilst i feel that the film had a fun plot,almost any sense of tension got completely diluted,with the constant appearance of opening and closing credits almost every 3 minutes!!.And though i can understand the need for them,when the film was getting put on as weekly pieces on the internet,i don't understand why no one at the studio could be bothered to just edit out most of the credit breaks,and just have them at the beginning and at the ending of the film. Final view on the film:
A good film,with some fun splatter,let down by very constant credit breaks.
