    AN ACTION PACKED HORROR THRILLER THAT MADE VAMPIRES SCARY AGAIN!!!

    WOW what a fantastic & scary Horror movie this is!!!!

    "30 Days of Night" deserves to be double billed with John Carpenters The Thing!!!

    "30 Days of Night" is the best Vampire film ever made, it's a Horror that actually shows Vampires to be terrifying ferocious creatures & this film totally made Vampires terrifying again!!!

    Also this film is a visual stylishly stunning treat with beautiful & eerie cinematography as well as a scary as hell raw icey-cold musical score that is truly haunting & very unnerving.

    This is also the great underrated Josh Hartnett's best movie & Role, here he gives one fine solid leading man performance!!!

    As i said this Wintertime Horror made vampires absolutely terrifying again!!! Like primal beasts hunting it's prey, the scariest vampires I've ever seen so far in a vampire movie...Ever!!!

    The vampires look scary as hell & the bleak snowbound setting is really unsettling especially when it gets dark for 30 days of night!!!

    This also has the best lead performance given by the underrated "Josh Hartnett" who i think is a cool guy & a great lead ever since seeing him in Halloween H20 (1998), The Faculty (1998) & Black Hawk Down (2001) he was great in those movies but has also been in alot of terrible films, he is excellent here as the sheriff of this little winter town in Alaska. Here Josh plays it very serious & intense & his performance comes off completely believable as you can see the fear in his eyes!!!

    Sheriff Eban is A great character for a Horror movie.

    The rest of the cast are all great like "melissa George" who is a strong tough female lead here & the always intense & creepy "Ben Foster" who is very scary here!!!

    The Atmosphere is very intense it's got that isolated "John Carpenter" feel to it that filled his movies with dread & works perfectly here, think of two "Carpenter" films mixed together with "The Thing" & "Vampires" & that's the kind of Horror this is, the atmosphere & mood is dark & creepy.

    Now this may not be an absolute Masterpiece & the ending didn't play out how i would've liked but it's definitely Excellent & deserves to be a Cult Classic in the future!!!

    This is a blast of a brutal & violent vampire frenzy survival Horror film, It's also a blood soaked splatter fest with real looking fake blood spilling out all the over the place like the old school Horror films we grew up watching & loving.

    The setting is cold snowy & bleak, then comes nightfall & then comes the vampires & then it's full on survive the nights & fight till the end.

    A scary thrill ride Horror Thriller, Gritty,brutal,Raw & scary makes this one of the best vampire movies ever made!!! Up there with "The Lost Boys" "From Dusk Till Dawn" & "Vampires" Yes "30 Days of Night" is a superb, Thrilling & intense Horror movie with bursts of savage violence & blood splattered action!!!

    A real scary blast of Horror & Action.

    Blood-soaked scare fest of a Vampire slaughter.

    A very underrated film ( American C+Movie ) My Ratings 8/10

    I really do not understand what these critics are based to rate a movie, this excellent movie has a horrible rating when others are not so good they have excellent rating, 30 days of night is a clear example that we can not judge a movie based on Critics

    Unique take on the vampire genre

    Good movie. Scary, original and well made.

    Great acting with Hartnett, Houston and Foster being creepy/heroic.

    Well written and executed.

    More like a 7.5 but what the heck it ain't a 6.6 like it's showing.

    Violent, Bleak, And Fun

    These vampires are more like wild savages than the charming and seductive Dracula or the stylish and clever Lestat. Instead we get rampant bloodshed across the Alaskan winter landscape with our protagonists trapped in a hopeless situation, turning it into a hopeful one as they just barely survive, being hunted by the seemingly-invincible vampire menace, until the tables gradually turn.
    8Dodge-Zombie

    Very good vampire movie.

    Well acted, well directed, great cast and a very good story.

    Something different to most vampire movies. Mostly very good effects and a decent amount of pretty serious gore.

    Not perfect by any means but highly enjoyable in my opinion and has some great music too.

    Definitely worth a watch for any vampire fans.

    Recommended.
