Suprising! - 30 Days of Night review by CP Customer
This is one of the best vampire films I have seen in a long time!
The action starts very quickly, and in the middle, you start to worry that it has peaked too early, but then it starts again! A suprising ending, with some tense, bloody moments in between!
Definately worth a watch!

Jumpy and action packed - a vampire great! - 30 Days of Night review by CP Customer
This was a great vampire movie but would compare it something more like 28 days later as opposed to other vampire films.
A community in a remote town north of Alaska endures 30 days without sunlight every year. However, this year the community get more than just dark days! The group of vampires are vicious and hungry and prey on the town. Without any help available (no phone lines, airport closed etc) they have to stick together to survive.
It is a great horror flick and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Josh Harnett plays a good part as does his co-star Melissa George. The vampires are a gory sight!
During the first half an hour I wondered whether it would be more cheesy than scary - due to the strange vampire make-up - but surprisingly was a great watch with a nice side plot of the relationship between Josh Hartnett and Melissa George.
Would definitely watch again. xxxx

Vampire Heaven - 30 Days of Night review by Kurtz
You’d have thought that vampires would have worked out long ago how much fun they could have in the sunlight-free Arctic winter, and Danny Huston’s stylishly savage band of bloodsuckers literally paint the town of Barrow, Alaska red, with only asthmatic sheriff Josh Hartnett and his unfeasibly gorgeous (estranged) wife Melissa George offering much resistance. Huston and his über-vampire mob dispense with all that “You’ve- got- to- invite- me- in-first” and “Ooh-I’m- scared- of- garlic” rubbish, casually smashing their way into houses, fending off bullets and outrunning cars, leading Josh and co. to resort to more basic tactics. It’s great fun with some memorably gory and shocking attacks by both vampires (boo!) and humans (yaay!).
