30 Days of Night: Dark Days (2010)

In the year since her husbands death, Stella has spent her time trying to warn others of the existence of vampires. She uses her lectures as an opportunity to kill the few vampires who show up to keep an eye on her. Although she is mostly met with derision and laughter, she continues informing people of the vampire menace in an attempt to deal with her grief.

In Los Angeles, she is sought out by a small group who have also lost loved ones to the vampires. Stella reluctantly joins them as they plan out their revenge by attempting to kill the queen of the vampires.

I enjoyed the first movie, except for the ending which seemed like they ran out of ideas. But this one was missing the tension of the first due to the lack of isolation and normal periods of night. It's not too difficult to think that the group can survive until daylight for one night.

The Queen appeared to be based on Elizabeth Bathory due to the bathing in blood. But the character is annoying and not scary at all.
