30 Days of Night

In Northern Alaska, Josh Hartnett is fighting vampires to protect his small town in 2007's 30 Days of Night, directed by David Slade.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss this action/horror film; both the good and the bad. The Mikes enjoy the action, the setting, and some of the actors in their roles, but film is plagued by other characters that seem wasted, generic, or just plain useless. Some of the vampire lore that the film attempts to set up also seems to make little sense or contradict itself at times. Field and Butler will talk about some of the character actions seeming to happen just to move the story along and Butler believes that the final act was a big rush job just to wrap it all up. That being said, the Mikes thoroughly enjoy the action, and the story presented within the film. It's a decent film that like a vampire victim's neck, has a lot of holes.

So grab your EMF Reader and voice recorder, please notice the ectoplasm puddles to the left and right of you, and float your way into Forgotten Horror

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
