Columbia Pictures 30 Days Of Night (Blu-ray)
Josh Harnett ('Black Dahlia,' 'Pearl Harbor') crosses over to the dark side in this bone-chilling adaptation of the cult-hit graphic novel, brought to the screen in all its demonic glory. In a small Alaskan town, thirtydays of night is a natural phenomenon. Very few outsiders visit, until a band of bloodthirsty, deathly pale vampires mark their arrival by savagely attacking sled dogs. But soon they find there are much more satisfying thirst-quenchers about: human beings. One by one, the townspeople succumb to a living nightmare, but a small group survives - at least for now. The vampires use the dark to their advantage, and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse and screams.
Amazon.com:
David (Hard Candy) Slade directs this nerve-jangling adaptation of the popular graphic novel series about a mob of vampires that overruns a remote Alaskan town in the grip of 30 Days of Night. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George are the film's de facto heroes (he's the stoic town sheriff and she's his estranged fire-marshal wife) but the picture's real MVP is Slade's camera (along with cinematographer Jo Willems), which careens across the town's snowy landscape to detail the vampires' horrific assault on its inhabitants, which are quickly pared down to a hardy few. The script, co-written by the source material's creator, Steve Niles, along with Pirates of the Caribbean's Stuart Beattie and Hard Candy's Brian Nelson), proudly wears its influences on its crimson-stained sleeve (Bram Stoker's Dracula, natch, but also Salem's Lot, Night of the Living Dead, and John Carpenter's version of The Thing) and boils down the graphic novels to a series of tense and extremely bloody standoffs between Harnett and George's band of survivors and the vaguely Slavic and ferocious bloodsuckers led by Marlow (a feral and frightening Danny Huston). And if the characters seem stock and the finale begs suspension of disbelief, the set pieces leading up to it are sufficiently supercharged with suspense and violence to please most horror fans. Standouts in the supporting cast are Ben Foster as the film's Renfield figure and Mark Boone Junior; the disturbing score by Brian Reitzell also merits a mention. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - A Unsatisfying Thirst For More Blood.......2 3/4 stars
I waited to see this film until it came out on the movie channels. Mainly because I had a feeling that it wasn't quite worth the rent. However I was impressed to see that it was not a total let down. I own the comic book that the movie originated from, and of course the comic book was way better, as they usually are. I was very grateful for the way the vampires looked, pretty much the exact duplicate of the comic. The film had some good scenes of blood and gore,(scenes of beheading are always fun). ... Read More
Rating:  - Why so bad?
I don't understand why this movie recieved poor reviews. The concept is excelent, the acting was pretty flawless, the FX were simple yet effective, and the vampires were the most ruthlessly frightening that I've seen in a very long time.
The only reason I can think of as to why certain viewers did'nt like this film, is that, for once, a director wanted to step outside the box of "traditional" vamp.. movies. People are just stuck on the old style. Too bad.
Rating:  - Boring Vampire Movie
30 Days Of Night has an extremely interesting premise in which an Alaskan town in the midst of winter and 30 days of darkness is besieged by a horde of vampires. That's about the only interesting thing about this film. There is loads of blood and violence, but the plot is thin at best with a ridiculous ending. The acting is marginal too be kind with a very stiff performance from Josh Hartnett. One of the more annoying aspects of the film is that the lead vampire (played by Danny Huston) is the only ...

Rating:  - At last, REAL vampires!
In Barrow Alaska, a desolate small town, there falls a time of year where the black of night lasts for 30 days. While many flee the darkness for Anchorage, others stay behind to weather the long night. As the sun sets on our film, the sheriff is called out to investigate the brutal slaying of every available sled dog in town; a puzzling and disturbing occurrence in a small quiet town.
Night falls, and the vampires come out to play. They're ugly, deadly, and very thirsty. These are real ... Read More
Rating: - Don't Expect Anne Rice's Kind Of Vampires In This Movie
Two words that mostly go with this movie bloody and gory extremely satisfying to those who are getting a little tired of the PG rated violent movies that Hollywood is putting out recently. The short version of the storyline is that you have a small town in Alaska that is facing a month of night time when a few miles away you have a derelict ship crewed by vampires that are on their way to the town. The first thing you will see is that these vampires act more like wolves than the vampires you usually see ... Read More
