Critic Reviews

  • Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader

    Feels derivative of 28 Days Later.

  • David Edelstein, New York Magazine

    The problem is structural. After the invasion, we're marooned with the dull survivors.

  • Megan Lehmann, Hollywood Reporter

    A terrific horror premise goes begging in the garbled Halloween offering 30 Days of Night.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    It has a fairly original premise and some blood-curdling moments, but it's also predictable, repetitive and vile.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    If this is the kind of movie you're looking for, it delivers.

    Take some notes you Twilight fans; this is how you make a vampire film.
