Alpha G @RT49478047 Apr 20 What an absolute trash of a movie. Firstly i wanna 🪦 that Amber and secondly i want the Director and producer to compensate me for wasting my time. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 See more Mela P @RT45643007 Apr 19 It’s hilariously bad🤣 what an absolute train wreck. See more Eswaran W @Eswaran75 Apr 11 So poorly written. The fault in this being a piece of crap is purely the writing. Production values and acting is decent enough. Melissa George was wise to stay out of this. See more David W @Davros Apr 8 I watched this so you don’t have to. One redeeming quality is that it does eventually end. See more Kylie R @RT93090535 Apr 5 .... sooo many plot holes and sudden things that made NO sense.... really disappointing compared to the original. One if those prime examples of not to bother with the sequel. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Oct 18 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is a sequel that manages to surpass the original—not in quality, but in sheer disappointment. Coming off the first film, which already left much to be desired, this follow-up fails to capture any of the tension or atmosphere that even a mediocre horror film should offer. From the outset, it’s clear that the sequel lacks both purpose and connection to its predecessor. One of the most glaring issues is the absence of the original cast. By ignoring the characters and actors that gave even a minimal sense of continuity, the film immediately alienates anyone who might have been invested in the story. The narrative tries to push forward without building on anything from the first film, leaving a sense that this is a completely disconnected story rather than a continuation. It robs the audience of any potential emotional anchor or familiar faces, which is crucial in a franchise intended to expand a horror universe. The screenplay is weak and unfocused. There’s no clear direction for the plot, and the story feels like it was cobbled together from random ideas without concern for coherence. It meanders aimlessly, attempting to manufacture suspense or drama that never lands. Characters are thinly sketched, and their motivations are often vague or inconsistent. The dialogue is clunky, and the pacing is uneven, making it difficult to stay engaged even for short stretches. Direction and overall execution do little to improve the experience. Scenes feel flat and uninspired, lacking the atmospheric tension that might have salvaged a weak script. While the visual style attempts to maintain the dark, cold tone of the original, it ends up feeling generic and hollow. The film’s tone wavers, unsure whether it wants to be a horror-thriller or a simple creature-feature, leaving the audience with little sense of urgency or dread. As for the actors, there’s little to criticize because the film doesn’t give them much to work with. Performances are functional at best, but they can’t overcome the structural flaws of the story or the lack of meaningful stakes. Without the original cast to anchor the film, the new characters feel disposable, further emphasizing the sense of a squandered opportunity. Ultimately, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is a disappointing sequel that fails on almost every level. By neglecting continuity, providing a weak screenplay, and delivering uninspired direction, it squanders any potential the franchise might have had. It’s a forgettable horror sequel that’s not worth revisiting, and even fans of the first film will struggle to find anything redeeming in this follow-up. See more Read all reviews
