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.

It is a decent effort. It has checked the boxes it needs (nudity and blood), but of course has also flaws. Quite a few, especially if you think of the format. Every few minutes it stops, just to start again. Even on the DVD they didn't care to put them together and still had the "next episode" tag end.

The actors do their best, in the short time span they have. It is connected to the movies (especially the first one), with a "killer" ending as some would call it. And though it does fill in some blanks, the question is, if you really wanted and needed to know all those things. On the plus side it does feel like a comic book adaptation though. I might watch the follow-up Dust to Dust later on ...

Blood Trails is a collection of short movies, originally shown on-line as an accompaniment to the main movie. Don't buy this expecting a new movie or even a full TV series, the whole thing runs at a little over 30 minutes.

Overall it's quite well put together and pretty gory, also it covers some of the New Orleans storyline from the original comic book (sorry, graphic novel) that was excised from the main movie, which is cool for fans of the source material. What annoyed me most however was that the whole thing was not edited together into one long episode, instead I was having to fast forward the opening titles and the "Next time on Blood Trails" endings every two or three minutes which took me out of the story somewhat.

As my summary states this would have made a great extra on the original movie's DVD but as a stand alone piece it doesn't really hold up. For die hard fans only.

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.

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.
