In the far Northern Hemisphere, the small town of Barrow, Alaska, experiences a solid month of darkness every year. Though most of the residents head south for the winter, some townspeople remain behind. However, those that stay regret their decision when, one year, hungry vampires descend on Barrow to feed. Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his wife (Melissa George) and a dwindling band of survivors must try to last until dawn breaks over Barrow's monthlong twilight.

Critics Consensus

While 30 Days of Night offers a few thrills, it ultimately succumbs to erratic execution.

Frankly, after you've seen one writhing, orgiastic vampire feeding, you've seen them all.

Feels derivative of 28 Days Later.

3/5

A real baying-at-the-moon gorefest, unusual both for its savagery and for a half-decent performance from Hartnett.

I appreciated the family and character dynamics introduced in the first act, but honestly by act two when people start dying I didn’t really care who they were or how they were important to the story. It’s vampire time baby!

4/5

An entertaining horror and action film that, by presenting vampires as truly monstrous and ruthless creatures, manages to create an incredibly suspenseful experience. [Full review in Spanish].

So, time and a place, for just... sandwich meal of horror. Fairly decent premise, overdone by jumping flea flying vampire? Spoiler Alert. Thing I remember- Josh Harnett playing a cop gives someone a parking ticket... ... as an act of charity. Because it'll force him to interact with the community more!

A premissa de *30 Dias de Noite* é, sem dúvida, seu maior trunfo. A pequena cidade de Barrow, no extremo do Alasca, entra no período anual de escuridão total — 30 dias de noite ininterrupta. O que já seria um isolamento natural se transforma em um massacre quando vampiros chegam para transformar a cidade em seu território de caça. Eben e Stella, um casal separado, são forçados a se unir novamente para sobreviver. O detalhe cruel é simbólico: enquanto o relacionamento deles estava na escuridão, agora o mundo inteiro mergulha nela. A perda do voo de Stella é quase um presságio — ninguém escapará facilmente. O surgimento do estranho que anuncia que "todos vão morrer" marca o início do terror. E quando o líder Marlow aparece, percebemos que esses vampiros não são sedutores nem românticos — são criaturas primitivas, animalescas, cruéis. Aqui não há glamour, há brutalidade. Nota final:** **5

If you like traditional vampires, this is not for you. These fast paced, twitchy, blood crazed vampires are more reminiscent of zombies from things like 28 days later the way they act and attack their victims. The story has many plot holes, and the characters are over used tropes that fall flat in the intellectual department. This movie is mediocre at best. I would not recommend.
