Critics' Reviews

75
USA Today: Scott Bowles
It loses some of its bite by film's end, but 30 Days of Night manages to do for the vampire genre what "28 Days Later" did for the zombie flick: give age-old monsters a modern-day makeover.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Tirdad Derakhshani
It's a bloodsucker's paradise.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Works on its own terms, which is more than can be said of most horror films these days. If this is the kind of movie you're looking for, it delivers.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Directed by David Slade ("Hard Candy"), the action scenes are artful and terrifying; these killers move so quickly and decisively, there seems to be no hope for humanity.Read Full Review »
63
Boston Globe: Ty Burr
A proficient, atmospheric fangfest that does nothing you haven't seen before but still does it passably well.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
It is well-made, well-photographed and plausibly acted, and is better than it needs to be.Read Full Review »
50
Village Voice: Robert Wilonsky
Director David Slade's stab at the story is actually rather ordinary.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: John Anderson
The movie thus moves from truly creepy to truly inane, which is, unfortunately, all too common in films of this ilk.Read Full Review »
30
The New York Times: Matt Zoller Seitz
The performers have little to do besides spill and drink blood in this tedious, inconsequential B picture. The sun doesn’t rise nearly fast enough.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
You can expect a lot of shredding and gurgling. 30 Days of Night is relentless, but it's also relentlessly one-note.Read Full Review »
