Product Description Cross over to the dark side in this bone-chilling adaptation of the cult-hit graphic novel. In a small Alaskan town, a growing band of bloodthirsty vampires thrust the living into a deadly game of cat and mouse and screams. .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 GaitaStills from 30 Days of Night (click for larger image) Beyond 30 Days of Night On Blu-ray Audio CD Hardcover Book P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Set Contains: For a film steeped in dark atmosphere and darker violence, the supplemental features for 30 Days of Night have a surprisingly light-hearted tone, but still manage to provide a wealth of information about the picture's challenging production. Commentary by stars Josh Hartnett and Melissa George with producer Rob Tapert establishes the relaxed and friendly feel of the extras with amusing and observant stories about the New Zealand locations and scenes that nearly missed inclusion in the final cut; the cast and crew also cut up in eight short featurettes that address everything from the gruesome special effects (courtesy Weta Digital) to casting and stunts, as well as the effects of 33 consecutive night shoots on director David Slade (who mugs cheerfully for the documentary camera) and his crew. An episode of the 2006 anime series Blood + (which deals with vampire-like creatures as fierce as Marlow's crew from 30 Days) is also included, though this is replaced on the Blu-Ray edition by a featurette that compares the feature's visual design to panels from its graphic novel source material. Trailers for other Sony and Ghost House films, including both Grudge movies, round out the special features. -- Paul Gaita See more

Great Vampire Flick.
Expect no romance. This thing? Is just flipping scary. The vampires have no appeal at all -- not that appealing vamps are a bad thing, but sometimes it's nice to return to the classic, "holy crap! Scary Vampires! Run for your Lives!!!" I recommend!

Beautiful film
Dark vampire film. Artistic and moody. Great story. The comic books are cool and this movie does really well with scenes from the comic. Camera angles, lighting and the acting are great. Movie worth your time with a unique style.

Jump scares and fun.
This a great movie for those nights you are alone and have popcorn and soda and a candy. Watching by yourself in the dark or with a friend. Great stuff.

great scary movie
I have seen this movie about 4 times. My oldest grandson recently returned from Homer, Alaska and I was asking him about how long the darkness lasts during the winter. I mentioned this movie and he had not seen it. I bought it for him. I might be a Nana, but the love of horror movies I have passed down, :)

Decent Vampire movie
Like the writers idea of using Alaska and it's periods of no sun light, for the basis of a vampire attack scenario. It was a decent movie. The only thing I really disliked was the subtitles whenever the vampires spoke. And then the absolutely corny squealing sounds the vampires made. Just silly really.

I'm one of the viewers who actually loved this movie!!!
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!!!

万歳！待ってました！
映画館で見ました！サバイバルアクションホラーの傑作です。ヴァンパイヤ系のサバイバルホラーでは、間違いなくトップに君臨すると思います。今までにないニュータイプの野生的なヴァンパイヤは素晴らしいです。不可解な出来事の予兆に始まり、やがて生き残りをかけた壮絶な戦いに展開して行く感じです。あんまり内容を言ってしまうとよくないので、ざっくり言いますと、街を出れば厳しい寒さと吹雪で凍死、助けは誰もこない呼べない状況下におかれ、街中にはヴァンパイヤの群れ、そういった絶対絶命の中、隠れていてもいずれ見つかる、闘うとしても、相手は凶暴で強い吸血鬼の群れ、さあ、どうする？といった感じです。それも３０日間。ヴァンパイヤが人間たちを狩って行く様は、すごいものがあります、それに対して闘う決意をして、勇気と知恵を出して闘う人々もすごいものがありました。もちろんしっかりと人々のドラマもあります。とにかく全体的なつくりがしっかりとしていて安っぽさは全くありません、雪の景色など映像も綺麗です。制作・監督もそうですが、原作がよっぽど良かったんだろうなあと思います、ヴァンパイヤが現れる理由とか考えると。何度も見たいと思いましたので、私は永久保存版に買います。※とにかく今度こそちゃんと発売してくださいよ

Recomendable
La versión de Reino Unido únicamente incluye audio y subtítulos en inglés. Para aquel que entienda este idioma es la edición ideal ya que su precio está muy por debajo de la versión española.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.
