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 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.

Sad(
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"
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 Big smile I wounder what the third will be called does anyone know?

"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 Crazy

Spoiler: Highlight to view

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! Sad

Damn society. And damn Hollywood.

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

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 Laughing out loud

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Crazy

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.
