30 Days to Die

Of course I had never heard about this 2009 horror movie titled "30 Days to Die" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2025. And given my love of all things horror, and with this apparently being a slasher horror movie, of course I opted to give director Griff Furst's 2009 movie a chance.

But writers John Case, Griff Furst and Marc Sheffler put together an insanely bland and boring script. There was nothing interesting happening in the movie, except for the narrative apparently taking place at a campsite at Crystal Lake. Now, whether it was supposed to be an homage to the "Friday the 13th" franchise, or if the writers thought that the movie would actually take place in the same universe and at the same lake, I have no idea. Nor do I actually care, because the contents of the script for "30 Days to Die" was pointless and boring.

I was, of course, not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And while that is usually something I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie, it was clear that the actresses and actors in this movie were struggling with the fact of having nothing to work with from the script and character gallery.

Visually then you're not in for anything outstanding, memorable or mentionable here.

Would I recommend you to throw away 78 minutes on watching "30 Days to Die"? No, don't bother with this movie.

My rating of director Griff Furst's 2009 movie "30 Days to Die" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
