This was actually one interesting vampire movie back in the day when it was released, because it certainly broke the form that vampire movies tended to follow, and suddenly vampires were not these overly charismatic goth-like creatures. It was nice to have the vampires turn into savage and feral creatures."30 Days of Night" has a good storyline, that is loaded with lots of action. And the concept was very interesting, nay, refreshing to say the least, because director David Slade certainly brought new and much needed blood, pardon the pun, to the vampire genre.The movie was definitely benefiting well from having great special effects and CGI. Some of the vampires, however, looked somewhat ridiculous, but it was hardly something that spoiled the movie.There was also a good cast performing the various roles and characters in the movie. It was especially interesting to see Josh Hartnett in a movie such as this, and he really stepped up to the plate and proved that he was worthy of carrying the movie."30 Days of Night" is definitely worth watching if you enjoy vampire movies that combine action with thrills. So you can sink your fangs into this movie without a doubt.

Very nice style except when it got a bit too shaky for my liking. Some of the music was slightly out of place but other than that I liked all the sound. I liked the story and the setting. The acting was strong too. I liked the style of the vampires, they were like real people but not normal! It was awesome. They created some really good tension and fear. Scary, creepy and reminiscent of John Carpenter. It was vampires with a great twist.

I am at the 23th minute of the film and I am already bored to death. Not even one pretty actor, all are antipathic, the "pretty" boy from the football school team with the puppy eyes, became sheriff, the blond chick, the villagers, the vampires... I bet the crew is ugly too. It's more than obvious from the beginning they started to destroy any possible way for people to leave the place. This is one of these movies when you bet who will die first. And of course some drama - couple will survive and happy end, wohoo. I don't know who voted so high for this movie, I am about to watch Predator again. At least horror there is realistic.

A very satisfying film with a good location.I like sheriff films exploring one man's responsibility for a community. Such films do show us something of a close-knit community. There is a positive attitude to people even in a horror film.I usually prefer the slow build up in the first half of a film like 30 Days. I think film delivers in both halves.The antagonists here are from the top drawer. Not people you want to meet in a dark alley even if you're armed with a pointed stick.The film has a neat ending. It's of a kind you sometimes come across. The film Pumpkinhead comes to mine. Then there's the excellent Dust Devil.There's a prequel and a sequel but they don't come close to this modern day myth.
