Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

nowego Surprisingly good, but not a movie that would be considered a classic. However this does stand above a lot of the more mediocre Vampire movies that have been made.It almost entirely relies on atmosphere, the coldness of the nomadic vampires is only matched by the Alaskan wilderness. The story works quite well, especially as there is never really any back story to tell where the vampires actually come from. The ending is quite well done and because it isn't really a happy ending I count it as a plus. Happy endings seem to be the go and having one that is not so happy is a welcome change. The movie is let down by some of the acting, which, if better might have made this a classic.Very much worth a watch if you like Vampire movies.

utku_kamil_ozen I am a big fan of The Thing (1982) and I was looking for films with similar vibes so I used IMDb advanced search; typed ''winter'' for keywords, then refined to narrow as feature films only, then horror as genre. This film was one of the films that were listed. So I didn't think about it much and started watching it without knowing anything about it. I can't tell that I really liked it, but it was an OK film. At least it didn't make me angry. First I'd like to mention the negatives. I didn't like Josh Harnett's performance, nor any other actor's in particular. Despite the premise and the name of the film, you can hardly tell where(when) you are in the timeline of 30 days. And it doesn't even feel like 30 days, it really feels like the events in the story happened in a single day or two, and that's the biggest fail of the film considering the premise. If they managed to give the sense that days were getting harder and harder, the audience would feel the tension rising. But as I said, it didn't happen that way.On the good side, I thought the vampires looked creepy, though I don't have any interest in vampires whatsoever.I don't suggest it to anyone, unless you are looking for a film to watch with half of your attention to kill some time. It's not an awful film, but there is nothing special or smart about it either.

areatw '30 Days of Night' is an effective and surprisingly well-made vampire movie. It has everything you would want and expect from a movie like this - excessive gore, frightening jump scares, and a highly suspenseful plot. It's a combination that makes for great couple of hours of entertainment.Unlike a lot of, or maybe even most movies in this genre, '30 Days of Night' never feels cheap. Everything from the acting to the appearance of the vampires was as good as I can remember seeing in this genre. I could raise a few question marks about the direction of the plot, especially towards the end where it gets a bit messy. Ultimately though, '30 Days of Night' is great fun to watch.

Fella_shibby I saw this first in a theatre in 2007. Revisited it recently on a DVD. Bought the dvds of this n the sequel. Its a must watch for horror/vampire movie fans. Very different concept. I cannot recall but i must hav seen one similar concept (vampires in alaska wher the sun doesn't rise for few days). Maybe it was an episode from tales from the crypt. The plot - a group of vampires attacks a small town in northern Alaska in the middle of winter when the sun doesn't rise for 30 days. Scary uh? Well its a very good horror/survival thriller. On a visual level, this is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. There isn't a shot in the film that you wouldn't want to pause and admire. It is fast paced n well acted n directed. There's loads of blood, some flesh eating, lots of heads blown off, plenty of axe wounds, and arm ripped off, and some cut in two with a buzz saw. At times the editing became tedious coz of the fast cuts n shaky stuff which spoiled the action. Nonetheless a different vampire flick.
