Description

Product Description:
Columbia Pictures 30 Days Of Night (Blu-ray)
Josh Harnett ("Black Dahlia," "Pearl Harbor") crosses over to the dark side in this bone-chilling adaptation of the cult-hit graphic novel, brought to the screen in all its demonic glory. In a small Alaskan town, thirtydays of night is a natural phenomenon. Very few outsiders visit, until a band of bloodthirsty, deathly pale vampires mark their arrival by savagely attacking sled dogs. But soon they find there are much more satisfying thirst-quenchers about: human beings. One by one, the townspeople succumb to a living nightmare, but a small group survives - at least for now. The vampires use the dark to their advantage, and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse and screams.

From Amazon.com:
David (Hard Candy) Slade directs this nerve-jangling adaptation of the popular graphic novel series about a mob of vampires that overruns a remote Alaskan town in the grip of 30 Days of Night. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George are the film's de facto heroes (he's the stoic town sheriff and she's his estranged fire-marshal wife) but the picture's real MVP is Slade's camera (along with cinematographer Jo Willems), which careens across the town's snowy landscape to detail the vampires' horrific assault on its inhabitants, which are quickly pared down to a hardy few. The script, co-written by the source material's creator, Steve Niles, along with Pirates of the Caribbean's Stuart Beattie and Hard Candy's Brian Nelson), proudly wears its influences on its crimson-stained sleeve (Bram Stoker's Dracula, natch, but also Salem's Lot, Night of the Living Dead, and John Carpenter's version of The Thing) and boils down the graphic novels to a series of tense and extremely bloody standoffs between Harnett and George's band of survivors and the vaguely Slavic and ferocious bloodsuckers led by Marlow (a feral and frightening Danny Huston). And if the characters seem stock and the finale begs suspension of disbelief, the set pieces leading up to it are sufficiently supercharged with suspense and violence to please most horror fans. Standouts in the supporting cast are Ben Foster as the film's Renfield figure and Mark Boone Junior; the disturbing score by Brian Reitzell also merits a mention. --Paul Gaita

30 days of night -	30 Days Of Night [Blu-ray] DVD Review


30 days of night good movie bad ending could have been better

Good example of a vampire movie done WRONG! -	30 Days Of Night [Blu-ray] DVD Review


What can I say this movie just plain Sucked!(no pun intended) I mean me and my girlfriend were both looking forward to seeing this garbage and were both upset that we missed it in theaters! And now that we've both had the great misfortune of seeing it I've got to say "What the f* were they thinking! It wasn't bad enough that the vampires first start off by killing all the huskies(which being an animal lover was just too upsetting)to say nothing of the fact that I just don't have any clue why the vampires did that in the first place! But well you've heard of movies that are too predictable well not this one and let me tell you why because rather than take some time to actually build up some semblance of suspense so that you can both think about what might happen and be frightened by the vampires lurking in the dark what they did instead was just simply rush the vampires untimely and tactless attacks! The script dull the characters were dull and other than Josh Hartnett I have no clue who the h* the rest of the actors are! I hate Josh Hartnett and only like his movie Wicker Park! His crying was fake and corny and let's face it with those stupid looking weepy eyes of his Josh always looks like he's crying! The acting was 3rd rate! And come on vampires that not only can be killed by bullets but murder pepole more than suck their blood is just too insulting and MYOPIC to a purist like me! And finally that ending with Josh Harnett's love interest kissing him one minute and then as the sun comes up coaxing his ashy head was corny/laughable creepy and just plain disturbing!(also it just looked like a rip off of the ending to Blade II) All in all this movie is not just an assault on horror movie fans but vampire movie fans as well! Avoid it like the plague it is at all costs!

Not to bad -	30 Days Of Night [Blu-ray] DVD Review


I thought this movie was pretty good. Granted, there were a few things that just didn't make much sense to me and other areas seemed flawed. But, when I went to see this at the theater I was expecting blood, I was expecting action and I was expecting something totally different to your old fashion vampire movies. And it definitely delivered on that. If you are looking for something to watch while you curl up with your woman on a couch late at night and have her hiding her face in your arm while you are admiring the cool action and death scenes then check this out.

Creepy, Frightening, and Scary - Grade A Vampire Flick -	30 Days Of Night [Blu-ray] DVD Review


I never heard of "30 Days of Night" until the movie was released. The concept of a remote Alaskan town under siege by vampires during the time when the sun doesn't show for 30 days struck me as fresh and interesting. The movie did not disappoint. Adding to the brilliance of the concept is that the vampires are portrayed as being anything but romantic creatures who woo their victims into submission. Romance, and religion, have been removed from the vampire equation, which adds to the appeal of the film's story. The vampires are coldly intelligent predators, whose idea of foreplay is to take someone's throat out. Danny Huston's portrayal of the leader of the vampire pack is amazing, proving you don't need pounds of prosthetics and hours of CG to provide a fright. Mr. Huston, and his scary band of vampires, deserve top billing. Barrow, the hapless town targeted by the vampires, is cut off from the rest of world due to the weather, and the sabotage of the vampires' advance scout. Town residents are taken out in scenes of all out carnage. A memorable sequence is a continuous overhead shot that moves through one of the town's streets, showing the vampires dragging people from their homes, and the folks of Barrow trying to fight off the vampires. The scene slams home how the vampires use surprise to subdue and slaughter the town folks, dropping the already low human population of Barrow (the majority of the town's residents regularly leave the town during the month of darkness, unable to cope with not having any sunlight for so long) down to a few survivors trying to hide. After the initial blood bath, the movie moves into the suspense factor, as the remaining humans try to avoid the vampires until the sun rises again, and the vampires use their wiles to hunt down the remaining humans. Very scary. Take the movie's R rating seriously. There are some holes in the plot - the biggest being the ending. I kept questioning what, exactly, the vampires were eating, as they left prodigious quantities of their victim's blood lying around, as well as their victims headless corpses. Still, I had such a good time viewing this movie, that I could suspend my questions and enjoy the movie. I am not usually a fan of horror films, but I am a fan of this horror film.

the most vampiric movie ever -	30 Days Of Night [Blu-ray] DVD Review


I say that because their is no romance like anne rice or like other vampire movies trying to pass off being human. these do none of the above.
