Not great, but entertaining. Nuff said.

Says in the title, nothing special relied on gore too mich which is not that scary but it was still entertaining 7/10

wasnt scary , quite boring -_-

Lol wee 1 s hate it

Really enjoyed this film!!

Rubbish

Well i love a great horror film, and after reading all the reviews it was a let down. Had it's moments but did not have me on the edge of my seat. Not much else i can say really. Guess i'll stick to the Saw films for the gore.

Not massively complex or edge of your seat stuff but overall a decent film. Worth a watch.

GOOD ALL ROUND HORROR FILM, REALLY ENJOYED, GRATE CAST TOO FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES ALL ROUND.

Well worth watching this film, rent it guys, u will not b disappointed

EPIC FILM!!!!!!!

What a great Vampire film. A lot more need to be made with this level of creativity. Excellent and well worth buying.

this scared me :S

It's not scary it's creepy

Quality in HD!

Awesomeeeeeee!

this has everything a horror needs, it has the gore (lots and lots of gore) lots of jumpy parts and its a proper vampire film, once those lights go down the hunt begins.the awesome thing about the vampires is that their not romantic, instead their freakish big eyed things. so if your thinking "hey i feel like a realy good horror" then dont hang around get this it doent dissapoint.

As a horror film lover I havent seen a good horror since the late 70-'s. this is a brilliant scary film, the vamps freak you out especially Danny Huston. This is an underated horror you can stick your Saw's etc this is a really good horror and at a good price buy it

Love it! A great horror film that does some new things with the Vampire genre. Very bloody and very entertaining.

Anyone else think that the lead vampire looks like the guy out of the Pet Shop Boys?!

An excellent frightfest which pleasingly avoids Hollywood horror convention (until the ending). Josh Hartnett leads an excellent cast in an Alaskan town which is plunged into thirty nights of darkness and is therefore ripe for a vampire hunting ground. The vampires are satisfyingly not glossy anti-heroes but grotesque, pointy faced and animalistic creations, led with alpha male charisma by Danny Huston. The storyline becomes predicatable towards the end, but the real originality is in the vampires arriving, the first few glimpses happening without melodramatic music so you almost don't notice. Director David Slade goes on to create some truly nail bitingly tense moments, whilst also managing to develop his characters into more than just a flock of sheep to be killed off one by one. The ending is comparitively hammy, but the overall impression remains of a very original horror concept.

I watched this film at my friends house in total darkness,I was terified but the chubby cheeks baldynut was over the top .I love the little who says:I done with this one I want another, will you play with me.by that I mean she wants to eat them.

One of the most entertaining vampire film i have ever seen. It is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat, and is extremely gory.

I watched this first when I was about 11, and although it wasn't scary, it did give me shivers at some parts.

A must buy, if you enjoy films that involve blood and gore. :)

some of the reviews are 'bah' but, like the majority, I can't think of a better vampire film. It's the vampire film horror fans (as opposed to drama or comedy) have been waiting for. Good atmosphere and, though there are quiet moments, I thought they were really well deployed. Definitely most convincing vampires I can remember seeing. (PS I almost never write reviews and when I do I don't give 5 stars). It's not *action*, it's *atmosphere*.

I have seen every horror movie possible and i have to say this it one of the best I have seen. not the same predictable ending!

One of the finest horror films i have ever seen. Forget the Twilight vampire who have sparkly skin in the sun and fall in love with humans. These vampires will make your skin crawl with there violent and gory way of killing, and they love to see humans bleed. In the small isolated town of Barrow, Alaska the local residents are preparing for the month long period of no sunlight. But what they don't prepare for is the fight for their lives. The thirty days of darkness is the perfect hunting ground for hungry blood thirsty vampires.

The film starts with a stranger, played by Ben Foster, coming from a freighter ship not too far from the small town of Barrow. His duty is to stop any means of escape for the residents. He steals phones and burns them, and kills all the sled dogs, believing that the vampires will make him one of them. When the vampire finally reach Barrow, they start their feeding frenzy and slaughter anyone who isn't already in hiding. Any of the remaining residents left after the first night have to try and survive the next 29 days, until the sun rises again.

The story is brilliant and clever, and the scenery and snow landscapes are stunning. That is until the vampires start killing, turning the snow a nice shade of blood red. The are some amazing aerial shots of the mayhem unfolding, which although are good, show some quite disturbing scenes. The vampires are creepy and crazy, and what a vampire should be like in a horror film. The cast are chosen well and give great performances. There is plenty of gore and blood, and there are some disturbing scenes. But overall it is a stunning horror. If you like your great horror films then give this a try, you will not be disappointed. The blu-ray version of the film, like another reviewer stated, is amazing, (and only £6.99 on hmv.co.uk). It has been one of my favourite horror films for a while now and i highly recommend it.

Really good film well worth the money

Only 4 stars because the screeen is too small. Otherwise a really good film to buy

Well I was 13 when I watched this and I found it entertaining but soooo unscary! (spirited away is more scary, and that's a PG!!)

This film is very good, a must for anyone into a good horror flick.

This film is not worth watching or renting or buying. It was not scary, bad story, etc. What a waste of time and money.

Amazing film, which is better than what you would have thought. really good film for any horror film with an amazing storyline which is part true ! i'd tell any horror fan to watch this !

amazing film. Really jumpy but well worth 5 stars. i've watched it a few times and would not get sick of it ! :)is a long film but worth the watch !

Here we have Barrow, one of the furthest flung outposts of humanity in the northernmost territory of Alaska. At the extremes of latitude you get polar days where the sun hangs in the sky for weeks even months, and polar nights which can also last weeks or months..

So if you're Count Dracula or some lost Hungarian aristocrats with a penchant for claret, you really don't want to take a trip put of season..

What you, and your Nosferatu chums, do want to do is: find a suitable means of transport, say, a Russian tanker, feed on the crew, & chase the night to where nighttime lasts for days on end. Once you find the land of night you want to send in your human familiar who can take care of all those tricky things such as: any means for contacting the outside world, and dogs - vampires don't like dogs. They're cat people.

Once you have your captive audience of a 100 or so Barrow dwellers enjoy yourself, safe in the knowledge that -they ain't going nowhere. You've got 30 days of night to paint the town red..

This film is terrific, the vampires are downright nasty and without remorse - Danny Huston is brilliant as the vampire leader, and Josh Hartnet is stoic in retreat as the town Sheriff trying his best to keep himself and the other survivors alive. There's not a lot of finesse to this movie it's guttural and brutal, so there's no sultry hynosis or swooning - the vampires slash first and drink pretty before you've hit the ground.

The opening scenes are cinematically beautiful in a way that only a snowscape can be, the bluray version of this looks stunning. However once you get to the night sequences there's a green filter on the camera and I know a couple of mates have said that watching this movie slightly depressed them! So if you're looking for escapism and a lightening of a load perhaps save this for when you're feeling more upbeat! If you like meaty, heavy hitting horror then you'll love this.

Since when was this an 18? when i saw it in the cinema it was a 15, because im only 17 atm... dats weird.

The films ok... not that scary really.

The best vampire horror which will take some beating

This was a brilliant film, loved every minute of it. Very dramatic and quite realistic considering it didnt have the cheesy moment in any vampire film when a human easily overcomes a vampire, who of which anyone would imagine as a very hard to kill beast. Quite claustraphobic setting as they end up stuck in one room for most of the time while being hunted by a group of bloodthirsty vampires. In all this film is gory and a great watch for anyone interested in this genre. It will make you constantly look around and turn on all the lights in the house on your way to the toilet in the night, and thats just the trailer!

How can you not love this film. Ticks all the boxes. Great horror film for dark winter nights that you will come back to time and time again.

I love horror and thriller films especially ones about vampires. I really enjoyed this film , have bought it , and watched it several times . Very atmospheric trapped in town with no escape for 30 days. A good idea , i enjoyed it . Definitely worth a rent to see it for yourself as i havent seen a decent vampire film for a while and you cant really count twilight or let the right one in

How comes this is getting 5/5 stars?

To me, this film was quite bad.

It had a good feel and look to it but it didnt have the story or the scenes to make use of that.

It is full of characters that you just dont care about and in turn- You just dont care if they die.

If you have seen more than a few horror films in youre life, this will feel very obvious and lame.

oh, It also has one of the biggest film mistakes in it that I have seen! (someone mysteriously comes back to life)

DO NOT BUY! You will never want to watch it more than once.

The vampires are not your romantic Anne Rice style but rather gruesome and ugly. They also talk in their own creepy language and screech painfully. The picture itself is very gory. Good character development for the survivors had me rooting for them the entire time. The acting was pretty solid. Another plus is that the survivors don't have some idiotic "witty" line when they manage to kill a vamp (which is extremely hard due to their murderousness). Better than your average vampire flick!
