30 Days of Night: Dark Days
It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist.
Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

I loved 30 Days of Night and thought Dark Days wasn't that bad so weres the third? Right in the project details it says a third will follow so were is it?
I watched this,wanting it to be exciting and gory and gritty and wow was I let down. This movie was slow, and very unexciting. I liked the first one and wanted this one to at least be as good as the original 30 days was but sadly it wasn't. It is just another quickly made addition to cash in on the vampire craze we seem to be going through these days. Two claws down.
horrible.
absolutely horrible.
how in the world could they fuck up such a good movie?
it had all of the right elements, timing, topic, everything.
and this is atrocious.
i would think it was a parody if everyone hadn't taken it so seriously.
not one costume change...a weird contrived sex scene...skinhead vampires...no point, no purpose, why didn't her man come back to bite her ass at the end, then maybe there would have been some comic relief, the vampire hunter...not the one she dug up...oh gawd they must WORK at making this shit bad.....
"Dark Days makes Twilight look nursery school"
I wounder what the third will be called does anyone know?
Any vampire movie can do that but this does it with fashion. I can't wait to see this and can't wait for the third
"They can come back"
Thats when you start killing them then blowing them into so many pieces they wouldn't even think of bringing them back
Not a bad movie as a whole but I'm not sure how to feel about the ending.
I hope this ends like the Dark Days comic did
Its said a third will be made does anyone konw what the name of it will be?
simply horrible, what a waste of time
Its sad to see that when a movie is actually made right and did its job the fucking studios just go for the cheap payoff and do shitty sequels. With the proper backing, this could easily have been the anti-Twilight fix that many horror fans are starving for! But NOOOO! Fucking suits just want to squeeze as much money as possible and fuck the fans that actually liked the 1st movie!
Damn society. And damn Hollywood.
Man that's what I hate about Sequels they never live up to the
original this sucks!!!I haven't seen it yet but i can tell by
the trailer I bites alot the first was brutal cool and rare
this a pettiful excuse for a weakass triligy shitting acting.
Great originally movie! cult classic for vampire movies imo.
I loved the first one and im going to buy this the day it comes out
please don't waste your money, i would compare this squel to the one of 2001 maniacs. the first one was good, the second one will just make you mad and sad at the same time. what a waste. i was waiting along time for this squel and i am horribly disappointed
Im stil gonna buy this no matter what anyone says, if it sucks or not I shall be the judge of that to myself and no one else. From what i've seen it is not the worst thing ever but it isnt the best either
i feel you on that, i've seen some movies that other people said was bad but i loved. be the judge for youself but it's not comparable to the first!
Well of course its not as good as the first thats how most movies are the first is better then the sequal is not as good. But I liked the first one so much Im trying to look pass this ones flaws and enjoy it as much as I can
30 Days of Night is one of my favorite movies. They showed vampires as the heartless killing machines they ought 2b instead of this romantic Twilight dribble. I also enjoyed the books alot. I don't think it needed a sequel/prequel on film as the books fulfill tht need(4 those of us who read). It stands just fine on it's own.
I a so happy they are giving more from this world in which Vampires are actually scary. I don't want to meet one or be one. I hope they do a lot more. The cable minisodes were good as well.
I agress sherman45
they didn't need to make a sequel, but I'm actually looking forward to this even though none of the old characters are returning:/
I hope this movie is good, I thought the first one was awesome. They should of just let it go, 30 days of night needed no sequel..
But the comic had a sequel, which was awesome, so the next obvious step for them was to make a sequel the the movie. I to hope that it is good, 30 Days, Dark Days, and Return To Barrow are some of my favorite horror comics. If this does well I would love to see a Return To Barrow movie.
The comics were cool as hell, especially Return To Barrow, so I hope like hell this next one is solid.
But straight to DVD....? Let's just say I won't lose any sleep waiting for the release.
i dont think im the first to notice but wasnt stella played by a different woman in the first film
Man you made yourself look very stupid, everyone knows that her actor was replaced a long time ago. It says that the orginal actor was replaced in project details
The trailer is giving me an iffy feeling about this now. I'm hoping that it turns out to be a decent movie at least.
It look’s really bad.
It’s gone from The Thing with vampires to just another generic vampire movie.
I've been super pumped on this movie for awhile now and can't believe that I just now realized that Harold Perrineau and Kiele Sanchez are in this. That makes me more stoked because I'm a total Lost nerd.
Your right this movie is going to be awesome
The pictures look good and so does the trailer so this is going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I have this feeling it won't be very good.. It saddens me..
Loved watching the first 30 days of night. Really AWESOME!!!!!!! the sequal beter be just as good and dont F it up. lol
Do you really have to say "dont f it up" on everything that is a remake or sequel. It's kind of annoying. Also be a man and say fuck, say it loud and say it proud. FUCK.

The language the vampires speek does anyone know if its real and if so what language it is? 0:)
In response to a comment I saw a few spaces below: Oh please Daybreakers is infinitely better then 30 Days Of Night. A better cast, more violence, cooler concept etc... 30 Days Of Night was kind of a missed opportunity, first off David Slade (who works much better with smaller more personal stories, ala Hard Candy) was the wrong director for it. Aside from Ben Foster, the assembled cast just wasn't all that talented, I mean Josh Hartnett as the town sheriff? really? Since none of the characters grow to be identifiable by any means, there just isn't any investment into their predicament. You don't give a shit about them. And the violence in the movie is barely above average at best, they should have gone for broke. Oh well, I'm not saying I hated 30 days of night, it just wasn't at all what it could have been, and quite frankly I don't know what everyone is so obsessed about. In any case, I will probably never watch the sequel.
this is going to be great!!
Producer J.R. Young told ShockTilYouDrop that fans of the first movie will be very pleased with what he described as a "war movie".
"I think the second film definitely stays within the world of the first film and it stays true to the second graphic novel in the series for those fans out there. The story is within that world but there are differences and a lot of that is due to the graphic novel. The first film is very much a survival film and this next one is all about revenge. There's an action component. The last one is a western, this one is more of a war movie. It's taking the battle to the vampires."
Yes! can't wait
So far away still.... I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! Cheers
Cheers
!!!!! hopefully they will give us a trailer soon so we can hold are excitment for a little longer
Yes
it has a release date cant wait
. I hope the trailer is on here soon 
DAY BREAKERS WAS TERRIBLE FLIM TO ME
WELL MADE LIKE FIRST ILL SAY
I think it's obvious why Slade isn't returning
I liked Kiele Sanchez in A Perfect Getaway. Hope she can carry this lead well.
I'm glad its R and not that guaranteed stamp of water down shit that is now PG-13. But it would have been better if it was released in theaters. But I'm still going to watch this. You know it will be better than the sparkling emo kids and the scary puppies.
Simply sounds awesome
but... im not as excited as i were, because i expected the women who played stella would return, she hot. 
30 Days of Night vampires vs Daybreakers vampire who would win?
