This is literally one of the best vampire films ever made. Realize the vampires of folklore are not swave sexy seducers and this one portrays them as they should be.
“Should” is a strong word. Both folkore and sexy vampires aren’t real anyway. The best is something like vampire the masquerade where you get both sexy vampires and monstrous.
@@jamesj5612 true but its sweet to see something ugly and fierce. Oh man imagine if the show kindred the embraced would be made now? I watched the original one and enjoyed it but it didn't get the love it deserved. Proud Gangrel here. The whole show is on UA-cam if you haven't come across it.
The ending of this film broke my heart. I don't even cry at romantic or sad movies, but the final death was so brilliantly acted, I was a mess. The movie made you deeply feel the town and winter's isolation. Well done.
@@ExMachina70 say what ? Oh you mean Twilight. What got me about those was the books were okay, got me thru a bad illness but the movies? My mom and I like good macabre films we both watched the first one. Once it was over she turned to me and said, " what was this crap we just watched?" I felt the same way.
Best Vampire movie ever. I remember being so entranced in the movie, I actually felt like I was stuck in that town with them. I had no idea what me and my wife walked into when we sat down to watch that movie, it caught us off guard great movie!
I love the slow building sense of doom in this movie, the desperation of the isolation and the tension of the dementia sufferer locked in the attic, so much good stuff.
This is still the best vampire flick I’ve ever seen! Aggressive murdering creatures that are fueled by the thirst of blood. “ we should’ve done this yrs ago” lol 😂
Definitely one of the most underrated vampire movies of all time. Very original plot. Of course, a place that has 30 days of night would be perfect for a vampire.
Loved how the depicted the Vampires not as hipster like Snobs or winged Animal like Creatures but very very old ancient sentient but brutal creatures, disguised from mankind but also kind of part of humankind, like some sort of a different tribe of humans.
This movie definitely had some of the creepiest vampires I've ever seen and w/them not really speaking so much that lack of humanity intensified the creepiness..
I came across this movie when I was searching for movies based on comic books/graphic novels. Man it was awesome. A legit horror movie. The buildup towards something sinister, the bloodbath and finally some much needed retribution..give them a dose of their own medicine kinda deal. I liked that a lot. Great video and a great movie.
This movie had the best vampires to date - vicious, relentless, and terrifying, driven by bloodlust, and with only a few of them (namely - their leaders) displaying some form of sensibility regarding their prey.
This is one of my favourite vampire movies, I was never really taken by romantic or comedy movies/shows but THIS movie (then the graphic novel) made me what to be a vampire, scary, powerful and monstrous.
One of my favorite vampire movie. Blade 1 and 11 tops them all but this is definitely on my list of one of the good ones. I wish they would make a sequel.
I saw this one in the theater when it came out. It was a hell of a fun movie. The big burly guy's last stand with the trenching machine was incredibly awesome. Like a lot of genre movies, it had some odd plot holes and conveniences, but overall I'd watch this one again anytime. I didn't even know there was a sequel movie.
Very good. Vampires were terrifying again for the first time since I was a kid in the 70s. Back then there was movie called The Night Stalker about a newspaper reporter investigating a series of deaths involving...you guessed it, blood loss. The vampire in that movie was also depicted as very frightening akin to a serial killer stalking city streets at night. Very suspenseful.
@@conniecarroll7222 i think it was the one called 30 days of night blood trails it was a short series but i remember it being a good addition to the movie mythos but then again that was what 2007, still tho i recommend it if you like the first movie at least
They actually made the script first. But to create interest in the masses. The creator's friend made it into a comic so studios would take a chance at it.
@@cc4670 dude what are you talking about? Your information is all jacked up. Steve Niles wrote the story and pitched it to be a comic before it got turned into a movie, but it was rejected. He then tried to pitch it for a film, but it still got rejected. After so many rejections he was forced to shelve it for a later time. Years later he took it to IDW and got them to agree to publish it as a comic and had Ben Templesmith do the artwork for it. Niles and his agent later pitched the comic for a possible film idea and got filmmakers like Sam Raimi very interested in making it a feature film.
I can't believe how underrated and obscure this movie has somehow remained throughout the years. I watch it every year and it's just an incredible movie.
Whomever gave this movie shit critically, I’d like to hear their opinion of a great vampire movie(s). I didn’t mind the ending of the original but the 2nd movie was poo.
I really love this movie. I think the whole premise is awesome. Most original take on vampires in way too long. I'm really excited about Niel Blomkamps upcoming movie, he describes the vampires in it in a Joe Rogan podcast like a month ago. It's gonna be awesome!
4:11 I noticed one interesting word. The word "Upir", which is pronounced by Marlow (leader of the cult) in his ancient language. Upir is a vampire from South Slavic mythology. An undead, blood-eating creature that rises from the grave at night. This means that Nosferatu vampires have existed for a very long time and perhaps they are known to mankind by other names in different cultures.
One of the best interpretations of vampires on film. Animalistic pack hunters that aren't romantic high society socialites that seduce you. I also loved the teeth, more shark like meant for tearing flesh. A breath of fresh air for vampirism.
Thank you for this very awesome and yes do the lost boys thats one of my favorites the first time i watched lost boys was when i was a little kid in Puerto rico and i loved it along side with blade
This was a great horror film. It had its flaws, but the atmosphere and the plot was so intriguing. I own the blu ray of this film and watch it every year especially on the snowy nights
I felt like this was a really good representation of a vampire. I just wish they gave a small backstory to how they became vampires. I almost feel like it was an experiment gone wrong, either in Northern Europe or northern Canada.
I freaking love 30 days of night, being from Alaska myself makes it closer to my heart, but the vamps are savage and monstrous like you'd expect them to be.
I really liked the first movie. I watched it initially because I like the actor that plays the head vampire and the actor who plays the familiar. I ended up really enjoying the movie in general
I really like your vampire videos dude but you should really do a review on kindred the masquerade that has a ton of vampire species and subspecies with different abilities and stuff
Coming from Serbia, a country from where the word "Vampire" originates as well as the mythology about them I have to say that these vampires are the closest to what the mythology about them says. They are described as cursed dead who have no rest, who are feral, have rows of razor-sharp teeth, and who act like wild wolves in a frenzy.
@@coganLollins 2:15 isnt this actor the same one from twilight? 🤔he only wanted to join the cullens but not sleep amongst them down stairs in their house? 😞🎤
Good video. If you ever want to look more into the lore around 30 days of night. Check out The graphic novels. And there are a couple of books based on the Graphic Novels. Oh, there is a book based on the movie too. It's actually pretty good even though it came after the movie. It does a great job at making some of the plots make more sense and elevating them to produce more anxiety. But to answer the question. It's a bit foggy but I think Eben can withstand and control himself. I haven't watched the second movie but in the Graphic Novels, Eben gets brought back to life.

Watch Midnight Mass
6:11 is this from the second movie?
And was desecrated with a shit sequel :(. But I agree, one of the best.
The ending of this film broke my heart. I don't even cry at romantic or sad movies, but the final death was so brilliantly acted, I was a mess. The movie made you deeply feel the town and winter's isolation. Well done.
Is it final though? 😎
same thing happened to me at the end of the Mist
This made Vampires terrifying again
True
Danny Houston as the Vampire leader was great.
And then Twinkle had to gay it up.

Yeah, they definitely seemed more feral in appearances and action than your traditional two fanged variety!

@@tuggspeadman761 original Fright Night as well.
@@gporr7004
I forgot about once bitten with Jim Carey 🤣😂
I also liked Daybreakers. Always wondered what would happen if the vampires just took over.
I enjoyed this movie mostly because of the more "horror" aspect to these vampire.
Agreed
I caught this on cable and was surprised how good it was. Haven't seen the 2nd one will look for it.
@@conniecarroll7222 it sadly doesnt live up to the first one, id still watch it if youre interested tho

One of the scariest movie's I've ever seen. It was very well done.
this is actually the first vampire movies that creeps me out and it was actually a little bit scary. Awesome movie, definitely reccomend it
Best vampire movie scared me when i was a kid simply because of how realistic this is and how highly plausible these creatures are
Scintillating, right?
This movie definitely had some of the creepiest vampires I've ever seen and w/them not really speaking so much that lack of humanity intensified the creepiness..
I wish they made more vampire movies with these type of vampires.
I feel the same way
They were ghouls, the lowest type. Not vampires
It was actually refreshing to see true monster-vampires instead of sexy virus-mutant superhumans.
This movie was so damn good and that second movie was DOG shit (sad pun intended) like how do you fuck up that bad???
The second was probably made by a different company and not a true sequel i am guessing( have not seen it)
Wrong
Money
@@oldaccountlol5773 what?
Tbh, the comic the second movie was based off wasn’t very good either.
Had this film in my mind for more than a decade now. Best vampire horror film, bar none.

Great video and a great movie.
One of my favorite Vampire movies ever!
I love how this movie showed the people fight back. Not just the main characters you see some no name civilians kill some vamps through the movie.
This movie had the best vampires to date - vicious, relentless, and terrifying, driven by bloodlust, and with only a few of them (namely - their leaders) displaying some form of sensibility regarding their prey.
Why do you have a fascist flag as your pfp?
Underrated vampire movie! Was one of the best for me. Had that 'The Thing' vibe.
I remember watching this with my sister and being absolutely horrified as a kid it also made me feel paranoid at night in the winter

It’s kind of comforting to hear your super chill voice while describing some really brutal and gory films.

These are without a doubt the best vampires I've seen on a screen. Their uncaring, predatory, and violent nature is perfect.
the web series prequel to this movie was pretty good as well
Web series????

Your channel has taught me how many vampire movies I've missed over the years
That overhead shot with all the blood was terrifying yet beautiful.
Absolutely STUNNING move. This is exactly how vampires must be and look and act. Brilliant!
One of the absolute best vampire movies ever!
This movie is based off an amazing graphic novel series that has so much detail that the movie missed, but awesome video man.

One of the best vampire movies ever made hands down. Story was great acting was great. Damn near perfect in my opinion suspenseful gripping terrifying
This is a incredible take on the Vampire genre. One of my favorite Vampire movies of all time.
This was really good! I'm gonna rewatch now!
I remember this getting so much shit critically but aside from the disappointing/dumb ending, it's a beautiful looking and terrifying film.

Yes, they also speak about certain convincing vampire theories.
I think I'll pull out my DVD and watch this again tonight. Awesome vampire flick.
Awesome Video as always. This movie Lost Boys and Underworld is my top 3 Vampire movies. Good work !
Don't forget Fright Night and Near Dark.
Please don’t ever stop making these videos lol
Thanks! 🙏
@@coganLollins I really enjoy them. So does my wife. So thank you! Lol
Loved this movie and never get bored watching it. Deffo one of my fave movies ever made
I think this movie is one of the best vamp movie made.
Yes, Thank you for covering this!
Midnight Mass on Netflix, it’s really good and is interesting for vampires
With the vampires in 30 Days of night being as old as they are, the language they're speaking could be ancient Mesopotamian.
This movie is that rare beast, a genuine horror film 🎥
This vampire movie was actually scary
This and Dog Soldiers are one of my favorite depictions of supernatural beings. No fancy tricks or beating around the bush with them.
One of my favorite vampire movies!! What I don’t understand is why no one had snowmobiles, which should be more effective than sled dogs!
This movie was amazing
such an underrated film. and an excellent adaptation of the comic

..... This movie was so incredibly underrated!!
Best vampire film ever..scary as hell when I first saw it
1 of the best vampire movies I've seen, I love how they lean into the horror side of it & make them dark & scary, very effective film 😈🔥
How much i wish you upload everyday. Your videos are so detailed
I can't wait till you do the strain one of my favorites
One of the best interpretations of vampires on film. Animalistic pack hunters that aren't romantic high society socialites that seduce you. I also loved the teeth, more shark like meant for tearing flesh. A breath of fresh air for vampirism.

30 days of night , kiss of the damned. Byzantium, let the right one in, and of corse blade are my top 5 vampire movies
Danny Huston is an Incredible actor.

Danny Houston did such an amazing job in this film
The one dark haired female vampire with the extremely evil fae features is my absolute favourite...glad she lived...
one of the best vampire movies of all time. a classicI think based on a popular graphic novel..
Definitely glad I found your channel man! I love the unique take on your videos. Can you do a Jurassic Park series?
Thank you I glad you enjoy the videos! And yes I would love to do a video about Jurassic park eventually one of my favourite series
@@coganLollins I legitimately love the Jurassic Park Series. JP3 and Spinosaurus are severely underrated
I hope that you would consider doing the vampires of supernatural. Maybe from there you would do other monsters, demons and angels on the show.
I didn’t even know there was a second movie of the first one thank you
Finally....a channel dedicated to vampire 🧛♂️
I freaking love 30 days of night, being from Alaska myself makes it closer to my heart, but the vamps are savage and monstrous like you'd expect them to be.

love this film and at least the vampires don't sparkle
The irony is that the road to Barrow is better during winter; the cold stabilizes the soggy parts and it freezes the rivers.
