Amazon.co.uk Review
The problem with vampires is that, usually, they can't go out in daylight. That means that, however menacing they might be after sunset, when morning rolls around again, the heroes can just dig 'em up and stick a stake in them. 30 Days of Night sidesteps the whole daylight problem by setting its story in Barrow, Alaska, a town which is so far north that during the winter, the sun doesn't rise for a month at a stretch. It's such a perfect setting for vampires that it's almost shocking no-one's thought of it before now. 30 Days of Night has another trick up its sleeve, too. Its vampires aren't gothic hedonists who enjoy their claret out of jewelled goblets. Nope, these are vicious, nasty, brutal creatures who'd snap your neck as soon as look at you. They look terrifying, all misshapen foreheads and far too many teeth, and the creepy shrieking noise they make only makes it worse; they seem entirely inhuman. Barrow's isolated, blizzard-stricken location makes for a literally chilling atmosphere even before the monsters show up. The plot loses its way towards the end, and the inevitable triumph of the heroes stretches logic to its limits, but the setting is original enough to make up for that. 30 Days of Night isn't a film you'll forget in a hurry. --Catherine Haskins

 My favourite vampire film ever March 26, 2008

'30 Days of Night' is the movie based on the best selling graphic novel by Steve Niles. The story begins when a group of vampires flock to Barrow, Alaska where the sun sets for 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. Because of the cold, the vampires' senses are weakened and a few of the town's residents are able to hide. One resident is Sheriff Eben Olemaun (Josh Hartnett), who attempts to save the town and the lives of the few remaining townspeople, including his wife Stella (Melissa George).
This was probably the film that I was most looking forward to in 2007 and when I finally got to see it, I wasn't disappointed at all. At the time when I first watched this film I hadn't read any of the comics, so the story was new to me, but I enjoyed it all the same. I've read the comic since seeing this and the film version has a lot more added to it, which I feel was definitely necessary as only the beginning and the end are featured in the original. There's plenty of gore, a great storyline, good characters, lots of scares and some excellent camerawork. The setting of Barrow feels very isolated and creepy and very, very atmospheric. The vampires have twisted, ugly faces and make eerie, high pitched wails to each other and speak in their own language, taking the sexy, seductive image away from the over-used and tired character.
Overall this is without a doubt one the best films of 2007 and is definitely the best vampire film I have ever seen. If you like horror movies and want something different, this is a film for you. Having the original graphic novel free with the R2 release is also a fantastic bonus as it is also a good read to accompany this brilliant film. I just hope that they decide to make a Return to Barrow movie now as this is by far the best of the comic series. Highly recommended.
Loved it! A fresh new take, and the best vampire film since near dark! January 29, 2008

This film is fantastic! One of my all time favrioutes I think, it is all slightly styalized, from the graphic novel which adds a great surrealistic and sleepy feel on it. It had an amazingly intense and atmospheric score from Brian Reitzel; Josh Hartnett has finally found his role, the one he is totally at home with and can execute to perfection.
Another thing I loved, was the vampires were brought down to earth, instead of being seven foot were - bats, they were angry Eastern - European guys, was a great invention. It is also like a Western in winter, this fim is so deep and effects on so many levels; it is like an epic vampire poem!

I went to see this at cinema not knowing what it was about and as the plot unfolded I was excited to find out it was vampires as they among my favourites for horror.
I was with one friend who sat a couple of spaces away and only another 5 or 6 in the studio. My disbelief was TOTALLY suspended and I even cried at the last scene.
A week or so later with my girlfriend on a packed out saturday night It did little for me but I am definiteley buying this film for keeps as even now I can feel the emotions from that first viewing.
Very subjective I know but it still gets five stars from me and look I havent even called someone stupid for not liking it (or maybe I just did!)
'bloody' briliant! April 25, 2008

in a town 10 miles from point barrow the small town of barrow is engulfed in darkness for 30 days as the sun sets mid November and doesn't rise for 30 days. This film was immersing right from the start, with the odd going's on already popping up, until the vampires take there first casualty in a truly gruesome manner. You follow a small group trying to out run the living dead and with scenes of true horror and anticipation, you can't help but be glued to the screen for the whole movie. The movie gives a very fresh look on the very overplayed vampire horror genre, with the beast's looking absolutely vicious and terrifying, but with a very suave look dressed in suits and moving very swiftly and poised but with absolute aggression and lack of mercy for the humans living in Barrow, even down to their language, every thing is sinister and makes your skin crawl. An instant classic with amazing performances from Josh Hartnett and the cast, which leaves u believing that there really isn't any hope for the town of barrow. 5 stars.
