30 Days of Night (2007)
This is the story of an isolated Alaskan town that is plunged into darkness for a month each year when the sun sinks below the horizon. As the last rays of light fade, the town is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires bent on an uninterrupted orgy of destruction. Only the small town's husband-and-wife Sheriff team stand between the survivors and certain destruction.

Perfect cast and a good story
Just perfect...
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I am a horror fanatic, the first time I watched this I thought it was brilliant. It's creepy and the vampires are scary. The story is good. Danny Huston is amazing in it, a very convincing vampire, as are the rest of the cast. I can watch this movie over and over and I still love it every time.
Awesome scenery. Great atmosphere. Great premise and setting. This was really freaky! There is just so much happening within the first 20 minutes of this film alone that one doesn't even get a chance to catch your breath. There's no false scares here; these are all REAL scares. It was genuinely frightening at times, also thanks to incredible make-up effects. As the film progressed, it also became action-packed with nail biting suspense. This was easily one of the most interesting and exciting vampire films I've seen. One thing, though, why did the vampires resort to seemingly senseless killing instead of just quenching their thirst? Or did they intend killing as many as possible as food stock? But then the blood doesn't stay fresh. Just a thought, but otherwise the film was quite a thrill-ride!
'30 Days of Night' is an effective and surprisingly well-made vampire movie. It has everything you would want and expect from a movie like this - excessive gore, frightening jump scares, and a highly suspenseful plot. It's a combination that makes for great couple of hours of entertainment.Unlike a lot of, or maybe even most movies in this genre, '30 Days of Night' never feels cheap. Everything from the acting to the appearance of the vampires was as good as I can remember seeing in this genre. I could raise a few question marks about the direction of the plot, especially towards the end where it gets a bit messy. Ultimately though, '30 Days of Night' is great fun to watch.
I saw this first in a theatre in 2007. Revisited it recently on a DVD. Bought the dvds of this n the sequel. Its a must watch for horror/vampire movie fans. Very different concept. I cannot recall but i must hav seen one similar concept (vampires in alaska wher the sun doesn't rise for few days). Maybe it was an episode from tales from the crypt. The plot - a group of vampires attacks a small town in northern Alaska in the middle of winter when the sun doesn't rise for 30 days. Scary uh? Well its a very good horror/survival thriller. On a visual level, this is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. There isn't a shot in the film that you wouldn't want to pause and admire. It is fast paced n well acted n directed. There's loads of blood, some flesh eating, lots of heads blown off, plenty of axe wounds, and arm ripped off, and some cut in two with a buzz saw. At times the editing became tedious coz of the fast cuts n shaky stuff which spoiled the action. Nonetheless a different vampire flick.
