30 Days of Night aspires to be little more than a movie-movie, where you're supposed to enjoy the ride, without asking any questions.

... [T]he hissing foreign-language chatting vampires, with all pointy teeth, make for dull, screaming villains.

The action is fast and gruesome, but beyond Niles and Templesmith's unique setting, in which the typical race to daylight is stretched out to an agonizing marathon, '30 Days of Night' offers little to stir the imagination.

I was done when there was a needless scene abusing a woman. And the ending was on the verge of interesting, until it came down to one little punch.

30 Days of Night reinvents the vampire movie, but only with its novel premise.

Concept: excellent. Setup: intriguing. Execution: well... too many interesting ideas bungled.

Os vampiros vistos aqui são pouco mais do que animais irracionais e desinteressantes.

It would be fun to rent with friends who talk back to movies and imbibe a little ETOH to facilitate the witty comebacks. Compared to the other Halloween offerings out there this year, 30 Days of Night is really pretty decent value for your money. Great

Overall, the film is freaky and gruesome enough to keep horror fans thrilled, especially as the monsters get stronger, faster, badder and nuttier.

30 Days Of Night has a terrific premise and an intriguing setting, but it's badly let down by poor direction, dismal acting and an appalling script.
11/02/07
A real baying-at-the-moon gorefest, unusual both for its savagery and for a half-decent performance from Hartnett.
