Now playing: Trailer: 30 Days of Night: Dark Days

We are just as hesitant as you with respect to the sequel of 2007′s 30 Days of Night. The Josh Hartnett vehicle, featuring a bunch of noctiphilic vampires, was a fine adaption of Steve Niles’ sweeping vampire comic book even if it did just barely recoup its 32 million dollar budget. The hesitation behind the follow up lies with the fact that come October of this year 30 Days of Night: Dark Days will be released straight to video. Yikes! Still, Steve Niles, the writer of the comic book, penned the script so we can’ really expect pure schlock, and the trailer is certainly not for the squeemish.

Official Plot Synopsis:

“It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella (Sanchez) has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.”
