Product Description Movie DVD
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 Stills from 30 Days of Night (click for larger image) Beyond 30 Days of Night  On Blu-ray |  Audio CD |  Hardcover Book |

Blu-ray : 5-stars February 2, 2010 ANDY T. Siing (malaysia) I love this movie for a start, i have it my DVD format. But recently i bought its on Blu-ray. I am glad i did!
Really impressed with Blu-ray sharpness and colors, this movie got fantastic make-ups and special effects, they even built the whole town for this movie.
A must have for all horror or Sci-Fic fans.
Not a great movie, but at least the vampires behave, well, vampirically January 25, 2010 Fry Boy (Orlando, FL USA) This movie probably won't register as one of the top ten vampire films, but it does have some redeeming qualities. First, the vampires are absolutely bloodthirsty. The scene were they take over the town is downright horrific, running down screaming humans, spraying blood all over. Harsh. Second, the behavior of the survivors is very believable, with them all being adequately terrified and unwilling to act as you might expect real people to be in such a situation. Third, it takes place in the snow which, for me, usually warrants a half-star.
I'd bet money that the screenwriter ripped off that "Tales from the Crypt" story with Ewan McGregor (or is it MacGregor?). Same sort of scenario.
Good for a night in, but definitely not for kids.
great January 25, 2010 Cardholder (Kentucky USA) Was in very,very good shape, and arrived promptly.
It's one of my favorite collection of DVD's
Bad December 24, 2009 TB (USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
As quickly as I saw this movie I had forgotten what it was about. Do not waste your time...poorly written just overall bad movie.
You Gotta See This! December 19, 2009 Kimberly D. Sutton I am a SCIFI fan and this movie lived up to everything I dreamed! This is the first time that a Vampire movie made me cry at the end! LOVED IT!
