Note: If you haven't seen the original 30 Days of Night, there's no reason to read this, or watch the movie I'm reviewing.
Ok, so this didn't make it into theaters, for obvious reasons. The first film had a great cast that included Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, and Ben Foster. This one had mostly unknown actors, with the exception of Harold Perrineau (TV's LOST) and Mia Kirshner (The L Word, The Vampire Diaries). Both had very brief roles.
This movie pics up after the original, with Stella (now played by Kiele Sanchez) traveling around, holding seminars to talk about what happened to her Alaskan town, in order to draw out vampires. She is approached by a group with similar stories, and asked to help them take down Lilith (Kirshner), the queen bee vampire. She reluctantly joins, and that's really the extent of the plot that matters.
The special effects are better than most anything you'd find on the SyFy Channel, so it's worth watching
Rated R, Runtime 92mns
