30 Days of Night: Blood Trails

What do these short stories have to do anything with the movie? First of all the movie happens in Alaska hence the 30 days of night title. These short films are based in New Orleans says nothing about whats going to happen in Alaska nor does it direct in anyway to whats going on or is going to happen in the movie.. These are bad mini movies and I wish i hadn't watched them.

THE MOVIE 30 Days of Night is great but skip the mini movie it is confusing and doesn't really make any sense.

I give these mini movies a zero. 30 Days of night: blood trail

I give the movie a four as it is good for killing an hour. Lots of blood.

This is basically a short story consisting of a series of 2 minute episodes, which of course annoyed the hell out of me because it starts, the it ends, then it starts again, but by the end of it all, it seemed rather pointless to put something like this on DVD, because the only thing it had going for it was the gore, and a boob shot on episode 3.

The acting was okay but nothing to tell your friends at school about, the cast seemed a little confused at times by clearly not having much to work with.

Overall, it would've served a better purpose as a DVD extra, but as stand alone feature, I reckon that they could've found a better use for the disc.

Story revolves around this dude who seems to be some type of secret information delivery boy. Well, sh!t hits the fan and he finds out this secret information concerns the secret life of vampires. And the Vampires want him and everyone who concerns him "ka-put". Or something like that.

Basically this lil preview/short film was a way to entice people for the upcoming series. And what's the best way to do that? To be just as bloody as the movie. And I do have to admit, it was pretty damn violent. And there was, I think, a boob shot or two. Ya can't beat boobs and blood.

But where the movie succeeds in violence, it pretty much falls flat in everything else. Honestly I was pretty bored by this lil short. If there wasn't any violence on screen (thankfully there was a lot), I was just kinda nit-picking at everything else. The acting, the casting, the writing it's all damn mediocre. One thing I seriously dislike in flicks these days is awful casting, which basically is just a bunch of pretty faces given the green light. Which was almost the case with this. Thank God for the fat nerd computer guy....hahaa.

But the biggest problem lies with the direction and editing. Now that was not up to snuff. The editing especially was this ultra fast stuff that's just a cheap way to entice scares. Scares by cheap editing is the norm these days, and it drives me crazy, but it seems most people are fine with it.

This flick was alright only because of the high amount of gore. But besides that, it was plagued by a number of problemos. But I'm sure it'll have a bigger following than the Blade series. And hey, if it keeps up the boobs and blood ratio, I think I may watch the series as well.

okay ... so i don't know how how many people have seen the MOVIE 30 days of night but this series was based on that, or the movie was based on the series was based on the movie i don't flipping know, but the movie kicks ass and this was terrible. :]

yeah it was bloody and gory but that's not what makes a good horror movie. good storyline is and this story line was just *beeping* terrible.

i love the vampires though, there kick ass and defiantly not something i would ever want to deal with. i would scream like a little kid if i saw one and probably pee myself. aha, just saying.

i don't recommend this series but you should totally watch the movie "30 days of night."

I'm so bored i don't even know where to start...having read a review from IMDb, i eagerly awaited this movie only to find myself, bored out of my mind.

The dialog is poor, the plot unimaginative, and the acting mediocre.

There was no story line that could keep you interested and one was left with no clue as to what was going on.

Apart from some gore and blood (which I do enjoy in horror movies) there was little to keep from yawning.

My wife was equally bored, wanting me to skip ahead in the movie, just to get to something exciting. However, I wanted to know why these vampires rocked up in the first place, where did they come from, and why they were doing what they did (apart from just being vampires). Answers I never got either

Sadly, I do not recommend this movie and would have given it a lower than 1 if there was one.
