Realizing that people have different opinions about what they read and watch, and that not all will agree with each other on what's good and what isn't, I was still somewhat surprised by how many viewers didn't find the horror movie, 30 Days of Night, to be as great as I did. I'm usually pretty hard on horror flicks and don't expect a lot when I go to see one, but 30 Days of Night won me over in a way that left me stunned at the end of the movie and wanting to immediately see it again.
Directed by David Slade, the story takes place in Barrow, Alaska (a real town), which is in the northern part of the state and once a year experiences thirty days of night. Most of the town's people head south for the entire month, but there are enough humans left to entice a group of roving vampires to spend some quality vacation time there. It all begins when a stranger arrives (played wonderfully by Ben Foster) during the last day of light and cuts the telephone lines and kills the sled dogs so that the remaining town's people will be snowed in and unable to escape the wrath of his master, Marlow. The vampires then waste little time in attacking the town and killing every human being they can get their hands and teeth on. It's the town's sheriff (played by Josh Hartnett) and his estranged wife (played by Melissa George) who manage to gather the surviving citizens and to find a place where they can hide from their hungry predators. The problem, of course, is finding a way to stay alive until the sun once again appears after thirty long days of night. That's going to be the challenge and few are going to make it.
I thoroughly loved this movie and have watched it about twelve times, enjoying every single viewing. Though I'm not a big fan of Josh Hartnett, I bought him as the sheriff and found his character to be totally believable. I also felt that all of the other actors did an excellent job as well, especially Danny Huston, who played Marlow, the lead vampire. He was utterly terrifying. I thought the vampires were played true to life in that they were portrayed as savage, violent predators, killing everything within their grasp so that they can feed on the blood. They were unbelievably fast and didn't hesitate in taking someone's head off, separating it from the body with one powerful sweep of their clawed hands. The desolation of Barrow was captured perfectly by the set designer and director of photography as the camera took in from above what was happening below as dozens and dozens of people were massacred in different parts of the town by the marauding vampires. This movie had me literally sitting on the edge of my seat and jumping in all the right places. In many ways I thought this was the best horror flick of 2007, running just ahead of the film, 1408, with John Cusack.
With regards to the DVD, I think I was close to being the first person to buy it when it eventually came out. I was hoping the movie would be released in a Special Two-Disc Collector's set, but it only came out as a single. Bah, humbug! Still, there's a great featurette on the making of the film, containing interviews with the cast members and crew, plus a look at the real Barrow, Alaska. The strange thing is that when the DVD came out, my roommate's daughter was getting ready to fly to Alaska with some friends, and I kept trying to get her to watch the movie before she left. She told me NO! in a rather loud way, not wanting to have nightmares the whole time that she was there, freezing in below-zero temperatures. I would've gone to Aruba, myself! LOL. Anyway, this film certainly has a special place in my DVD collection of horror films. Highly recommended!!!

30 Days of Night
After surviving the incidents in Barrow, Alaska, Stella Olemaun relocates to Los Angeles, where she intentionally attracts the attention of the local vampire population in order to avenge the death of her husband, Eben.
It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

30 Days of Night is a great vampire film, and one of the best in recent memory. It's based off of graphic novels by the same name, which are mostly visually stimulating more than well-written in my opinion (Ben Templesmith is excellent). However, I feel like this film captures that sentiment by portraying the vampires brutally and with some intelligence that doesn't make you think "I've seen this before". This film stars Josh Hartnett, who I enjoy most of the time, but I'll be the first to admit that he immediately seems to date any film he is in. It's odd, but here we are and with Melissa George who is great, but no it's not depth of story that make this movie tick. The shining star for me is Ben Foster, and it's always Ben Foster because he plays crazy characters so well. His wannabe vampire messenger is the most memorable part to me, other than the little things like the vampires sending a small girl out in the streets to appeal to people and make them reveal themselves rescuing her. Overhead shots of the town during its most chaotic moments also stick with you and seem like they could be ripped straight out of a graphic novel. Dealing with vampires in a town that goes dark for 30 days straight is a genius concept and it's kind of crazy that it's only now we're watching/reading stories about that. Overall, the film is brutal, bloody, and a mostly brainless good time. The twist ending is pretty wild, but at least they let it fade away at the end of the film. The special features are mildly entertaining, but the audio commentary features Josh Hartnett making fun of Melissa George a lot with a producer, which is somehow entertaining. Also cool to hear how seriously Ben Foster takes his acting, even in scenes with other actors who may not be as hardcore about feeling it all.
Blu-ray copy came in great condition, and this release does not include a DVD or digital copy. Recommend for fans of vampires and horror.

Yo la adquirí en una bajada que pegó a poco más de 3€.
He de decir que aunque sea un fan del género de terror, las películas de vampiros nunca han sido mi fuerte. Sin embargo, esta película me ha encantado por su estructura y su atmósfera.
Calidad de imagen y de sonido sobresaliente. 5.1 real y no "ficticio" como ocurre en muchas películas.
Incluye numerosos extras tal y como se puede apreciar en las fotos, aunque la edición española incluye exactamente los mismos.
