Uncle Northcott’s Movie Reviews

We have a nominee for the mannequin actor hall of fame. Ladies and Gentleman I present Josh Hartnett. I saw Lucky # Slevin on DVD the day before 30 Days and in my humble opinion Josh is approaching the select company of the Costners,Cages and the Petrified King, Keanu Reeves. Josh plays the Sheriff of Barrow Alaska, a town so far north that in winter the sun sets and doesen’t rise for 30 days. On the last day of sun a stranger, played by My new fav actor Ben Foster, shows up and starts killing dogs, busting up their heliocopter and wrecking anything that the townsfolk could use to escape or call for help. The sun sets and the killing starts. The town has to defend itself for 30 days against a Vampire gang. The Vampires are creepy eastern Euros and the attacks are well staged. These are not fastidious Vampires. The blood goes everywhere and when your food supply is limited try saving those ruby red drops. I guess these Vamps never heard of conservation. Al Gore will be sore. Al Sore. A few plot holes of course but in all a good moody horror flick. A few of my favorite Vampire films: The first 2 Blades- The Lost Boys- Near Dark- The 1922 Nosferatu- Fright Night- John Carpenters Vampires,and my all time favorite The Night Stalker. Scared the Jolly Ranchers out of a young Uncle Northcott, As you can see from my list I like my Vampires violent, remorseless killing machines not sad tortured souls. Next: No Country For Old Men.
