Movie#65 30 Days of Night- Dark days

Another one with a big AVOID suggestion from me. Took this with so much hope as the first part was very good because of the novelty. This one though was quite disappointing. The main actors are Kiele Sanchez and Rhys Coiro.
The story picks up from where it finishes in part one. But you wouldn't miss a thing even if you start fresh from this point. The theme of this story is avenging the death of lover. Kiele loses her love in the first part and is living life with constant fear of another attempt on her life. She gets constant updates from a guy called Dane about the whereabouts of vampires in the city. No one believes her story of what had happened at Alaska. From a group of vampire killers she find out that there was a vampire queen who co-ordinates their actions, and killing her would destroy their survival. So she sets out in that quest with the guidance of Dane.
The funny areas are that she joined the group as a rookie while others were veterans. But it does not show at all because she assumes command from the first mission. There is a total role reversal–  veterans turn to rookies while rookie turn veteran. Total joke, I should say. The movie has no fights, not special effects except for the vampires wearing fake teeth and contacts. Atleast the makers could have redeemed with some thumping music but that was also missing. The actors seem like blurting out memorized lines and the dialogues fail to bring out the fearful situation they face, especially the other woman in the group. And at the end it clearly shows by the heroine's act that she was indeed psychotic. The director might have wanted to bring out her love towards her lost guy, but what the hell!
All in all, it does not even come close to its first part. Poor show. My personal rating is 1.5 out of 5…
