1 Day of Night
By SLCpunk (32 reviews) from South Glamorgan , 19 Nov 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Ok the vampires, violence and vision of this film were exellent, but there's not much else to it. My main problem is that it could've all happened in one night, the only thing that changed from day 1 to day 30 was Hartnett's beard. At its roots its a survival horror film in the vein of Dawn of the Dead, but 30 days just doesnt ramp up the isolation, starvation and fraying character relations that 'Dawn' does so well.
All the film does to distinguish between days is pop a subtitle on your screen. If they put scratches effects on the screen and badly dubbed dialogue this could be the secret 3rd Grindhouse film because it feels that large sections of the film are missing between these 'day 17', 'day 30' subtitles. I feel a little bad about complaining about this though cos the book that spawned it was about the width of a hair and jumped pretty much from day 1 to day 30 but...
It is a solid horror though with the vampires probably being the best ones ever seen in the movies. The story isnt exactly the same as the book with little things changing to pave the way for set pieces. The violence was very realistic with the censors obviously napping during this one to give it a 15 cert.
With a little bit more focus on the passing time, growing desperation etc this could have been one of THE GREATS! However its just one that grates a little.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Sleepwell (9 reviews) , 21 Feb 2013A different take on the vampire movie that is moody and gritty - no vampire glamour here. Melissa George and Josh Hartnett shine.- Was this review helpful to you?

Appalingly Dreadful
By a customer , 06 Jan 2013One of the worst vampire movies I have had the misfortune to come across - I instantly deleted its follow-up from my List. Despite some admittedly stunning cinematography (there are some memorable images), the suspense is minimal and the gestures hackneyed.- Was this review helpful to you?

blood and guts galore
By a customer , 03 Aug 2012Enjoued the film but it kept cutting out on me. Lots of blood and gore but thought the ending was a bit predictable. would watch again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Neil Tennant is a vampire
By a customer , 01 Jul 2012We thought this a bit tedious really, although Josh Hartnett is excellent - makes you believe in it - and the twists and turns are there; but the direction seems flat.
My main point though is that the lead vampire has an extraordinary resemblance to Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. Apologies if this point has been made in one of the 600- odd previous reviews!- Was this review helpful to you?
