The first episode was interesting and based on a quite new idea, definitively better than this one. This sequel doesn't get the point, the story has big gap, the characters are flat with no past to tell and with no evolution during the movie, the vampire can be injured an killed by shotgun and mini gun and hordes of vampire can be stopped just by a looked door..OK isn't a baby vampire movie and isn't a first love movie as (twilight saga) and I have to say that the story is also quite dark, but after 30 minutes I found very difficult to continue watching it until end. If you want to watch a nice vampire movie take a look at something else

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.

This is a decent straight to DVD sequel and actually quite watchable. Sure there is obvious plot-holes and things just don't connect well with the first "30 Days of Night". But for a straight to DVD sequel it's actually a entertaining popcorn flick, sure it's dumb in some areas but it's watchable. After the incident from the first movie the female protagonist Stella played by a different actress is trying to prove that vampire exists to the world. But the the vampires does thing to make it like she is crazy and it's just a hoax. And in this time instead of running and hiding, well there is running and hiding. Stella joins a group of vampire hunters that had similar experiences and have lost loved ones and tries to go on hunts. And there main target is the queen of the vampires. There is quite a bit of vampire fighting action in this movie and the production value is alright for a straight to DVD movie. It's a dumb vampire hunting movie but it doesn't get to the point where it got really annoying because of it. And was somewhat entertaining.6/10

Watch this movie if you are having a frustrating day and need to release some anger by yelling at the TV screen. The screenwriter and director should donate they're pay to charity. A shameful sequel to a great original. Worthless is a compliment. The acting and dialog in this movie is some of the worst I've seen in a horror movie...as if that is so needed in this genre. For true vampire fans you will be insulted. For those who enjoy horror and are above the age of 18 you've seen it all before and done better. Steve Niles and Ben Katai need to find new lines of employment because if I see your names in the credits I will avoid watching. I just wasted 90 minutes of my life and I want a refund of time and money.
