8. 30 Days of Night
30 Days of Night was a gruesome vampire flick that came and went pretty quickly in favor of the “sparkly teen” vampire trend that was just taking off. Shame, too, because 30 Days was a decent adaptation of a stellar comic book. Taking place in one Alaskan town that has been plunged into darkness for a month, some local vampires who are dying out figure they can feed on the town during this time, and begin to feast on the locals, one by one.
It is a really spectacular concept, and it worked well enough on film. It’s real setback was the fact that no one saw it, and even those who did had no idea the concept had been mined from comics.
