I went to a special sneak preview of this movie and umm... it was really cool. For the people who are to scared to go, I have to say it wasn't that scary, it was just REALLY gory and violent. This was an action packed movie that is worth the price of an admission.

This movie really surprised me - in a good way. My girlfriend wanted to go see it and i went just to make her happy. Personally i think good vampire movies are hard to come by and i am always skeptical. but this one really surprised me, there is almost no cheesiness. the vampires are cool, the violence is brutal and vivid, and they don't waste (much) time on romance. the only thing i had a complaint about was the ending, but honestly it wasn't a "bad" ending, it just wasn't on par with the rest of the movie. if you are a fan of the lost boys i would highly recommend this one.

A movie that's not afraid to be a different. While most studios releasing domestic horror films have been relying on remakes, torture, bad acting, and awful CG, this one has a unique premise delivered in a very brutal and stylistic way. A complete breath of fresh air for a horror fan.

This movie is adapted from a truly groundbreaking comic by artist Ben Templesmith and writer Steve Niles. IDW Publishing, a comic book company sought a new artistic look and writing style that would set them apart. They found it with Templesmith and Niles in 30 Days of Night. From the trailer, many of the shots are composed the same way as panels out of the comic. Lighting and colors are very similar, and even the graphic art appears to be in league with Templesmith's style. This is a major plus, and an indicator that the production team has strove to stay as true to the comic as possible. If this is true then the movie will be just as widely loved and admired as the original comic series. An additional plus is that Steve Niles, the original writer, is also the headline screenplay writer for the movie. This means that the speech, characters, mannerisms, and plot will follow the original work. I am very excited for this movie as a fan of the comic and horror movies in general.

Based on the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, 30 Days of Night had the potential to influence the vampire genre. The movie is set in Barrow, Alaska, a small town where once a year the sun doesn?t rise for a solid month...an essential vampire haven. The ?new? vampires were not impressive, screeching like pterodactyls and speaking a foreign language that seemed pointless and unnecessary. Sucking blood is no longer enough for these vampires; they literally eat the necks of their victims. This movie is full of gory violence and is one bloody mess. I was thoroughly disappointed with this movie and would not recommend it. This is a DVD rental at best, but even that is a stretch.
