30 days of night is a horror film it has a good cast like josh hartnett you sure not miss this one it is on of the best

30 Days of Night (2007) is a Josh Hartnett, Melissa George vampire movie. These two lead actors play a separated couple who must come together for the good of the townspeople around them when their Alaska town gets attacked by vampires. I liked these two talented actors in their roles, they fit them well in my opinion. The plot is pretty average and by the numbers for a movie like this, although some of the ways in which they execute that plot is different. I will not spoil anything in this review, but just suffice to say that there are some things that happen, especially towards the end, that do not typically happen in other movies similar to this. I appreciated that. The action is good most of the time, and I liked that this movie didn't completely rely on shock and gore, movies that do that are very weak. Overall, this is one that i mildly recommend, there's better in the genre, but it's certainly not a bad pick by any means. 7/10 for 30 Days of Night.

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.

Let's start with the title: '30 Days of Night'. Two problems arise instantly: 1. The idea that vampires use the 30-day period of darkness is not exploited in any kind of creative way. 2. The film supposedly takes place during the 30 days, but still feels like it takes place in one afternoon.The characters here are dull, the antagonists are never developed and their motives and lifestyle remain obscure, it's never explained where the vampires come from or where they intend to go afterwards... The script just doesn't care one bit. There is even a character who is supposed to assist the vampires, but he is just taken out of the film before he can get a chance to do anything meaningful. Likewise, new characters are introduced at random, and the script has the audacity to expect us to care about them.The whole film has an episodic character, jumping from scene to scene in a seemingly random fashion. I don't know whether to blame it on screenplay, direction, or editing. Probably all of the above. There is also a pervasive sense that the motivations of characters are weak and confusing at times.Finally, the action scenes are disappointing. They are quite gory, but dull. Also, they are filmed with a shaky camera, often in closeups, and edited by a person with an attention span of one tenth of a second. The fight scenes therefore turn into a blurred mess where no one knows what's really going on. This confusion is also spatial, when it comes to action. Often times the characters split up, but one has no clue where they are in relation to each other or their destination. The whole film reeks of confusion.One more thing: the film makes attempts at generating emotion, but fails miserably. The screenwriter seemed a lot more interested in ripping off other horror films and inserting every cliché imaginable, such as the zombie/vampire child, a member of the group who is bitten and transformed into a vampire without the rest knowing it, or the climax that takes place in a factory, with convenient grinding equipment used for mincing vampires.On a positive note, the film does have scary moments, and it has vampires that look better than in many recent vampire films. But on the whole, it comes across as amateurish and unremarkable. No filmmaking talent spotted.
