Spine tingling horror is readily available in your home at anytime when you compare cable tv premium movies channels. From slasher films to psychological horror, these movies thrill, frighten, entertain, and cause you to look to see if someone or something is watching from beyond.

I absolutely love a good horror movie be it classic or new. If it is well done and has a good story line with good acting I am hooked. One of the recent films and when I say recent I mean within the last two years I have had the pleasure to watch and be frightened of was “30 Days of Night” starring Josh Hartnett as the sheriff of the most remote town in the United States in Alaska where each year is engulfed by 30 days of night.

This is pure and simple a vampire movie. But unlike traditional and more recent good vampires, these vampires are out for only one thing and that is blood. Hartnett and the town are faced with a small army of these living dead creatures and must try to survive and battle this menace till the sun comes again.

What I found especially interesting in this movie was the atmosphere and constant danger of being discovered. The vampires arrive the day before night falls on a dead ship with the help of a human. The tension builds as most of the town leaves before darkness comes and when it does the horror and suspense of the film never let up till the unpredictable ending. Hartnett forfeits his own life to become a vampire and save the remaining humans. The last scene where he is sitting waiting for the sun to rise in the arms of the woman he loves knowing he will die soon is very powerful.
