Darkness falls, and death follows in 30 Days of Night (2007), a relentless horror-thriller directed by David Slade. Based on the chilling graphic novel by Steve Niles, this terrifying film drops viewers into an isolated Alaskan town where the sun vanishes for an entire month—leaving it at the mercy of bloodthirsty predators who thrive in the endless night.

The Story: A Town Cut Off, a Nightmare Begins
In the remote town of Barrow, Alaska, the long polar night is about to begin—a natural phenomenon where the sun won’t rise for 30 days. For the residents, it’s a seasonal hardship they’ve learned to endure. But this year, something far worse is coming.

As the town prepares for the extended darkness, Sheriff Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett) and his estranged wife, Stella (Melissa George), begin investigating a series of unsettling events: sled dogs brutally slaughtered, communications severed, and a stranger (Ben Foster) warning of horrors to come. Then, as the final rays of sunlight vanish, the true horror begins.
A savage pack of feral, ancient vampires, led by the ruthless Marlow (Danny Huston), descends upon Barrow, cutting off any chance of escape. The creatures stalk the streets, massacring the townspeople with inhuman speed and merciless precision. With no sunlight to weaken them, the vampires rule the night—turning Barrow into their personal feeding ground.
Desperate to survive the month of darkness, Eben, Stella, and a handful of survivors must hide, outthink, and fight back against the relentless horde. But as their numbers dwindle and hope fades, Eben realizes that the only way to save those he loves may come at the ultimate cost.
