Lack of good storyline.

Just what I expected

From my favorite movies..

Captivating movie !

Absolutely brilliant. It does a great job of bringing the graphic novel to life. The score is eerie and amazing. Perfectly paced, It's survival horror at its best. Josh Hartnet shines as Eb.

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.

Barrow, Alaska. The most northern town in America, where for 30 days every year it is has no sunlight.This is the perfect opportunity for a gang of merciless, & blood- thirsty vampires to feed on the remaining inhabitants of this small town, after most leave for the month of darkness.As people are leaving, and others are making preparations for their time of hibernation, mysterious occurrences are uncovered; mobile phones stolen, and destroyed, an entire team of sled dogs butchered. The ground work for the impending doom of a malevolent force.Once the killings and feedings begin there is no let up. I have watched my share of vampire films, and frankly this is definitely one of the best made, its stripped back, bare, and unromanticized. This group of vampires, led by the visceral Marlow (Houston) take no pity on the town of Barrow as they tear it apart looking for their prey, and using people as bait to lure hiding survivors out into the cold and snowed out streets of the isolated mining town.The second half of the film becomes a tale of survival, as town Sheriff Eben Olemun (Hartnett) and his soon to be ex-wife Stella (George), lead a group of survivors who manage to hide themselves away by staying in an attic, scared and cold they realize that it is only a matter of time before they are discovered and killed.Even though this is a film that does involve a fair amount of blood and gore, the film's real heart lies in the way it scares you with what it doesn't show in the lead up to the early killings, this for me is true horror, show me next to nothing, and build the most amount of tension, then deliver the shock, and you'll have me pissing my pants every time. There is also a fair amount of brutality shown, not only in how the vampires kill their prey, but also how they are dispensed by Eben and the others.On an interesting note, this is a film based on a graphic novel written by Steve Niles, who co-wrote the screenplay to the film. Niles had actually pitched the original idea as a film some years before, but reworked it to graphic novel after being knocked back by several producers, it was then picked up afterwards by one of those producers to make this film we have now.

30 DAYS OF NIGHT had gruesome and violent vampires only interested in feeding to their fill on the townspeople of Barrow, Alaska.That's the best part of the movie. The rest is, shall we say, very silly! First off, Barrow, Alaska looks like some old Western town with storefronts like Saloons or General Stores, only missing hitching posts outside. If you've ever seen actual photos of Barrow, you would notice that most every dwelling is a dome shaped abode or mobile home. Very few houses look like the ones in the movie. Nearly everyone in the Barrow of the movie is Caucasian, another inconsistency with a town that is not only real but primarily populated by Inuit peoples (Eskimos for the layman). The main hero and heroine are both typical, overly attractive people that look totally out of place in an area as rough as Barrow. They look like they just walked out of Macy's in Denver. Both are mostly uninteresting characters who you aren't empathetic with in the least. I was watching and rooting for the vampires to obliterate the town and all it's phony Alaskans, then sail away into the night on their big ship. For me, that would have been a happy ending to this lame movie. Guess you can tell I didn't like it that much, huh? It's a 4 out of 10 and ONLY because the vampires were cool.
