Ugh. Sam Raimi's name is becoming synonymous was shit horror which is sad.

Some decent gore at times, some really neat shots at times but overall a total mess. By all accounts the graphic novel was all style and no substance which is fine, if the style is good, deep substance especially in the horror genre isn't really necessary. The problem with the movie is it's little style and no substance. The editor should never be allowed near a film again at least not of this type, everything is just an utter mess. You never get to know any of the characters really which again would be fine if the style and editing and look was consistently bang on, which it never is. Horror sites are sucking this movie off for some reason but that just might be because it's Rated R.

The other real sad thing is that there is some serious talent behind this David Slade's first full length feature was Hard Candy and that was just a sick little tight film. Capably edited too which makes the mess that is 30 Days of night that much more surprising since it's the same editor for both.
