30 Days of Night - BLU-RAY Version (2007)

Treadstone from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/04/2008

It seems like an all too obvious choice to place a group of rampaging vampires in an Alaskan township that during mid winter, experiences 30 days of night. What they didn't tell us is how they got there and what they did after they left. Which is disappointing. In the opening scene there is an indication that they may have arrived by a ship, although nothing is explained.

So the vampires rampage and kill everyone in sight, with the exception of a few survivors who have to figure out how to get through the dark days without becoming vamp snacks. The only thing that saves this movie from being rather bad is some great acting and excellent visuals....aside from that theres really nothing else to it unfortunately. But hey, grab some popcorn and enjoy for what it is...a vampire flick with a modern twist.

30 days of night is the most original vampire movie to come out in years.but a very confusing story.you never find out were the vampires came from or were they went at the end (the ones who survive) saying that the acting is first class,and the cold alaska landscape is stunning.with great special effects this movie is a must see.a great movie not to be missed.

I enjoyed this film. It was a vampire movie with a plot. In parts it was a little bit typical but the acting was good. Probably the best vampire movie in a few years and yes why haven't they discovered the towns in Alaska with30 days of night before?

Adapted from a graphic novel - this movie has some stunning visuals and one of the best 5.1 soundtracks. Arctic landscapes and degenerated vampires. The look of the vampires in this movie is unusual - kind of like eastern Europeans with bad teeth and if you were wondering what happened to the lead singer of the Pet Shop Boys this movie will answer a few questions.

The frigid landscape is well realised which is surprising considering that a lot of the movie was shot on sound stages in 70 degree temperatures. Dressed in full winter gear the actors must have been roasting.

I found the ending slightly downbeat but would recommend this as a good Saturday night thriller.
