30 Days of Night

This is the story of an isolated Alaskan town that is plunged into darkness for a month each year when the sun sinks below the horizon. As the last rays of light fade, the town is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires bent on an uninterrupted orgy of destruction. Only the small town's husband-and-wife Sheriff team stand between the survivors and certain destruction.

A mixed-bag vampire horror that critics found neither satisfying nor dismissible — competently mounted and visually credible, but undermined by inconsistent logic and uneven execution. The film's grim Arctic premise drew attention, but audiences and critics alike left largely unmoved.
