October 19, 2009Just saw it. AWESOME!! If you are a true fan of this genre, run-don't walk, to see this flick asap. (and you might wanna try to get home before dark..) he he. The setting is bleak and sufficiently creepy. The concept is absolute genius and the effects are state of the art. Vampir...( read more)

October 5, 2009Loved the lighting and the brutality. Second-best vampire movie I've ever seen. It's like 28 Days Later but with vampires.

April 7, 2009Not bad vamp flick, not really scary or spooky but very bloody n gorey. The story and location is slightly original and it looks good, very slick but it kinda reminds me of AvP, the vamps aren't really like vamps more like aliens or creatures and not really effective for me. Thei...( read more)

March 31, 2009I loved the premise for this film when I first heard about it- a town that's almost to the roof of the world and doesn't see the sun for 30 days is attacked by vampires. I loved this concept. I thought it was going to be a monumental film in the horror genre without sparkling vam...( read more)

January 1, 2009Is it flawed? Yes. Could it have been better? Yes. Did I enjoy the film anyway? Indeed I did and to be honest that's all that matters. Sure this is just a basic blend of films like THE THING, 28 DAYS LATER and PITCH BLACK but as long as you don't think about the many implausibili...( read more)

November 2, 2009I was really looking forward to this movie. I had missed it in the theater and bought when it came out on DVD because of the good reviews that I had heard. I was enjoying it up until the end of the film. It just took a turn that I thought ruined the whole feel of the movie. If on...( read more)

The premise of this film has just got to be the ultimate wet dream for your average vampire. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
You could make a horror film with shocking story developments and creepy twists. Or, you could just have monsters with pointy teeth jump into the frame while making loud noises. For the latter, check ... full review

Even as stage blood flows like water, this wicked-mean vampire thriller pushes ahead with effective characters, a fantastic visual schema and a terrifying plot. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I have pretty much reached my quota for vampire movies, but I shouldn't hold that against this one. If you haven't seen too many, you might like it. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
30 Days is a proficient, atmospheric fangfest that does nothing you haven't seen before but still does it passably well. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
30 Days of Night sparks with crackling energy. It's a symphony of shocks. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Pushes things into violent, hardcore territory all too similar to Danny Boyle's zombie-outbreak flick 28 Days Later and its 2007 sequel. full review

August 4, 2008A really scary vampire flick. Not saying it's the best but it was good on it's own way. Kudos to everybody involved in the movie. I really enjoyed it. Don't watch this alone.. :P
-
May 17, 2008The movie would make a bit more sense if you people read the graphic novel by Steve Niles. The story is a phenomenom.
-
April 21, 2008Wow. I haven't seen a movie with this level of graphic bloodshed since I last saw Saving Private Ryan. Other than that, I thought it was a great shot in the arm for vampire movies- seriously, if Will Smith had gone up against THESE guys in I Am Legend, NO ONE would have complained about the monsters in that film (in fact, it could have made it one of the best films of the year!).

April 6, 2008This was a scary flik. I felt the hopelessness & terror these ppl felt. I kept waiting for the sun to rise to kill them off or scare them away but it NEVER came! They were smart too not your average "Let me suck your blood" vampires. They were scary, intense, intimidating, powerful, Etc. A truly cool flik. I've seen just about every horror flik from the 50's to now & have only felt that fear for the ppl in the flik in a few other fliks. The Shining was one of them.
This flik rocked. If one wants to be scared shitless check this out. -
March 24, 2008Finally a very bloody & brutal vampire film with an original story to the this genre that feels like a breath of fresh bloody air.Creepy atmosphere,good pace & few cool death scenes.Good performances by the cast, specially from Josh Hartnett.Even a good ending that i wasn't expecting just to make this film one of the best horror films of 2007.

March 7, 2008My Opinion is this movie rocks but then again Vampires and werewolves are my favorite myth creatures...
-
February 1, 2008that movie is real good

but the fact dat the sheriff had turned into ashes... that was a good one! -

I don't know why people say this movie was shit.
This is one of the best vampire movies ...
I do agree the vampires don't look real, but what do you expect? Real looking ones? ... theres no such thing as vampires, so don't expect real ones, but they could be more realistic.. and stop looking like office people.. I found this movie quite good in my opinion..
all the other vampire movies are so old and suck nuts.. and the new ones, are quite boring, for example.. van helsing.. and.. dracula..Blade was alright though. This one was way better than those..It had a secure plot, and it looked amazing.. and the story made sense, if you think about it.
