Adapted by the director David Slade from Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith’s graphic novel about vampires taking over an Alaska town, “30 Days of Night” is a series of gory set pieces that seems to have been edited with a meat ax. A major early transition is so clumsy that you may assume that the projectionist accidentally skipped a reel. No such luck: it’s a style thing. After an intriguingly subdued opening section — which introduces the inhabitants of a town above the Arctic Circle that’s shrouded in darkness for one month a year — the movie crosscuts between the schemes of a predictably effete, nasty vampire horde (Eurotrash nightclub-crawler outfits, subtitled dialogue) and the besieged citizenry’s attempts to hide and fight. Mr. Slade’s cast is solid. But the performers have little to do besides spill and drink blood.
