30 Days of night: Dark Days: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@jamesmoseley5428]

Uh. The actress that played Stella in the first one was the best human part of the movie. Yes She fit the trope of the really hot girl that has perfect make up in a blizzard, but she gave it her all. She was charismatic, tough, convincing and emotional. In this film, she’s just this vapid, soulless Paris Hilton look alike. I guarantee you her recent filmography consists of playing corpses on csi shows, and monster fodder in blumhouse films.

[@ethanconlin6856]

no she fucking didnt

[@AnneQuiet]

😂😂🤣🤣

[@thatmovieguy7778]

I mean she did star in the purge anarchy and had a lead role in Kingdom so 🤷

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

3:03 Not to defend this movie, but you remember the Vampires in 30 Days of Night have very distinct looking eyes, basically pitch black pupils that would arguably make them stand out even more than without the sunglasses. And I doubt they can just buy contact lenses.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well firstly they can't get contacts? why not? they can acquire everything else from clothes and ships but more importantly, next time you are outside walking take a look at other people's eyes I guarantee you'll have to get pretty close before you can see any sort of detail, you won't have the same issue with people wearing sunglasses and at night, they'll be even more noticeable

9:33 there was that little girl vampire inside the store which is from the graphic novel.

No. Some of the cops are in on the vampire conspiracy.

9:10 Not to mention she's supposed to be Lilith, NOT ELIZABETH BATHORY!! 20:10 Not just from the comics, it's also from actual folklore. That's why you're supposed to stake their heart, chop off their head, burn their body, and scatter their ashes.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Wait do we burn the head too? Come on mang, I need the deets if I'm going to be a badass vampire hunter. I don't want to fuck anything up.

[@SuperSwordman1]

PhantomDragon1992 far as I know, you don't have to burn the head. First bit of vampire hunter advice. Do the oppisote of these assholes

[@diecastinsanity483]

Another fun fact: some of the earliest folklore involving vampires depicts them as spirits who drained the ethereal energy of their victims to sustain their own existence and avoid what was called the "second death." And in ancient Ancestor Worship it was believed that if regular offerings weren't given to the dead their spirit would leave their place of rest to feed off of anything they can reach, including their own families. The idea of the physical body rising to drink the blood of the living wasn't common in vampire folklore until much later in history.

[@PhantomShadow224]

I noticed on the cover, there’s a line dissing twilight. Meanwhile both protagonist lack any expression or reaction. It amazed me watching Kristen Stewart genuinely act in the movie “speak”.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

kristen stewart and robert pattinson can both act very well they both just chose not to for twilight, I mean who could blame em.

[@johnnymars9782]

LOL. I like your review.

[@ermacjones4821]

I will defend Lilith and her decision to turn the Sgt. instead of killing him or letting him die. I don't think it makes her look weak at all, keeping her word just shows she's a more honest and honorable villain. I don't think being honorable or honest detracts from how powerful or intimidating a villain is.

[@jeremyallen492]

Until you take a step back and realize the person she decided to turn was an incompetent moron. That's not "being honorable", that's just being fucking stupid

I guess its a case of go big or go home ?

[@infiniteshay8660]

Deusdaecon Reviews Yeah I'd guess it makes it more exciting since it shrugs off what would be a major weakness, but if that's the case, why not make a movie that takes place during a time where that's not the case or even have a line of dialogue about why it doesn't work (however stupid it may be)

They were all compensating for something. Idk what though, I personally find them physically attractive...don't get me wrong, these people are still idiots. But damn why are the dumb ones so damn hot?!

We even see they do have bladed weapons... so they could have been made to look MUCH more competent if they had a machete and the first kill was 1 traps it in the door, other cuts head off in 1 slice BAM instantly we see they are seasoned pros at this able to dispatch a single vampire with no problem. Instead we get them looking like people who've never dealt with vampires before

I just got done reading the two omnibuses for this series and was curious to revisit the dark days movie. I've only seen it once and honestly the only thing I remember is the ending. I don't get why they didn't look at the source material that was better at telling the story.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

I have a theory about that which is the studio producers want to phase out the comic author from the profits, after all the less work they're connected with, the less money they're given, and instead goes to a writer the studio has exclusivity with for potential sequels, only a theory but would make sense

This review was dead on. The first one was orders of magnitude better. It's a shame, because I usually do not care at all for vampire movies, but I loved the first one. Up to that movie, vampires were most of the time portrayed as suave and seductive, slow in their approach. In the first one, they were straight animals. Like fucking sharks on land in humanoid form, but generally cunning.

[@lotrgirl275]

[@quinnzykir]

N. H. L-H By making large town of Barrow Alaska look like a small mining town stuck in the fifties. Got it.

[@mercenaryknight5419]

Nope, this was done for stylized purposes as their defenses were weakened. Plus the comic was set in the early 2000s, more like a small town from other monster films.

[@Darkpara1]

They aren’t easy to kill with guns, the Alaska darkness thing made sense, especially since barrow was smaller when it was written.

[@Alstanus]

I thought the same thing about the gun at the bedside. One, if you're going to keep one, a fucking 9mm is useless against them. You're better off keeping a .44 or .50 caliber handgun at minimum, must be a dead-eye with it as only a headshot will be effective. But a 12g semi-auto shotgun would be better. However, you'd probably really would want to get a katana or sword of some sort that's razor sharp, and practice swinging it.

[@rachelmarieLMT]

Anyone know when the name Lilith became synonymous with Vampires? The "vampire queen" in true blood is also named Lilith. Is it biblical?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

lilith in the bible was adams first wife, lilith in hebrew means night creature or night monster, and a lot of jewish aritifacts identify lilith as a demon, and some considered the biblical lilith to be derived from the much older race of demons the lilītu from the ancient mesopotamian religion.

I find it pointless to make a sequel set in a place where the night isn't naturally a 30 day occurrence as it occurred in the original film. Otherwise it's just a cash grab with the title.

30 Days of Night did not need a sequel. That being said the concept of vampire hunters was interesting and had potential which was epically wasted

[@ActivistBatonVI]

Few positives i'll give this movie, having read the Dark Days comic, there's some scenes that match the comic's aesthetic, some good casting choices, Dane and Norris looked like their comic counterparts despite Dane being a completely different character in terms of his personality and role in the story, Mia Kurshner was a good choice for Lilith but due to the bad script and low budget, she wasn't even close to being as intimidating as her comic counterpart, in the comic, Lilith wasn't afraid of killing her own kind to get what she wants, ripping off a vampire's face at one point, comic was 10x better.

[@DerAnanasKing]

Von Strohheim from Jojos bizarre adventure had a much better idea how to kill vampires. he and his man actually had proper equipment and were killing hords of vampires with UV lamps, which would also work in this universe. at least some tactical UV lamps on your guns would be nice.

Great review! This movie really is a turd. I love how in movies, characters are always able to hold their breath underwater/giant pool of blood forever and wait to surprise the villain and strike. It may look cool but really, it's just stupid. Imagine if Lilith walked in, looked around, and stood 4ft away from the pool for a few minutes like, "Hmmmm, I wonder where she could be? I'm gonna stand here and think about that." Stella's plan would have been screwed. Also, how the hell does Stella even know Lilith was in the room?

I do beleive in the first installment of 30 Days of Night (film at least) the vampires did speak English. The head guy said "God? No god" and a young girl vampire even said "You gonna play with me now?" So they can talk in the first film at least. That part of the movie didnt contradict itself. Though with the rest of the inconsitanses it's hardly worth the one fact. That's how poorly the filmmakers cared.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well the child had no knowledge of the language so why would she use it and that moment you mention you can tell Marlowe has tremendous difficulty articulating english words after so long using the vamp language, its been a very long time since i made this video so i honestly cant remember if i got my point across effectively but what i was trying to get across was not that they CAN’T use english just that they DON’T because the vamp language is easier in a fanged mouth, and even then the fact this film doesn’t show the use of a vamp language at all is an inconsistency

[@Jay-gurl]

True. And I was making this comment cuz in the reveiw you said you were sure the vamps in the first movie "never spoke English". So I just commented. But still inconsittate regardless as you said

[@deusdeaconReviews]

yeah I figured as much thats just a mistake on my part, I can at least say its one of my very early videos as an excuse, but I do think my point ultimately still works
