overall great movie. One of the best movies this year
I expected to be scared out of my pants instead I came out well not scared. The movie was pointless and was not scary what so ever. I was very disappointed. If you want an actual horror movie that is scary I suggest you don't see this one
Think of something better!
The movie was less than satisfying, Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, and the other actors did a great job of acting scared which looked genuine et al but the vampires and storyline was disappointing. The vampires were more like wild tasmanian devils eating whatever poor vermin came their way. They hissed and shrieked like animals and ate whatever poor vermin crossed their path. The townspeople massacre was more like a big slugfest with vamps on one side and humans on the other going mono a mono. I also disliked that bald brutish vampire, he looks freakin' ugly. The movie was well publicized so I went in with high expectations of being scared out of my wits, but came out feeling hohum......
What a waste of time.
Best vampire/horror I've seen in ages. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It even had a decent ending (which rarely ever happens anymore)
I felt that the movie had the right concept to be a very good movie but failed to do so. For example the camera shaked so much every time something exciting happened, how fast the vampires wen`t through all most the whole town but not able to find certain people and why did the vampires have to shriek like that and speak a different language.
Great vampire flick...definitely hasn't been a good one around in a while...didn't mind the ending at all actually..very gory and graphic so if you dont have the stomach for it, dont see it!!
If you like the book then you will love the movie. It has the constant feeling of confinement in a wide open snowscape. The characters are real and have personalities. The movie has drama and horror elements. 5/5
No other vampire movie to date compares to what 30 Days of Night offers. Absolutely spectacular and bloody awesome. The new epitome of vampire movies. Everything well balanced with a great storyline and faithful ending. There should be more vampire movies such as this. TWO THUMBS UP!!!
