30 Days of Night (2007)

30 Days of Night is a 2007 American horror film based on the comic book miniseries of the same name. The film is directed by David Slade and stars Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, and Danny Huston. The story focuses on an Alaskan town beset by vampires as it enters into a thirty-day long polar night.

30 Days of Night was originally pitched as a comic then a film but was rejected. Years later Steve Niles showed IDW Publishing and the idea it took off. The film was produced on a budget of $30 million and grossed $75 million in the box office during its 6 week run starting on October 19, 2007. The sequel, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, was released on October 5, 2010 straight to home video.

Barrow, Alaska is preparing for its annual "30 Days of Night", a period during the winter where there is no sun. As the town gets ready, a stranger rows ashore from a large ship. Once in Barrow, he sabotages the town's communications and transport; Barrow's sheriff, Eben Oleson, investigates. Eben learns that his ex-wife-to-be, Stella Oleson, missed the last plane and must stay the 30 days. Although they try to avoid one another, when Eben confronts the stranger in the town diner, Stella helps to subdue him and take him to the station house.

At the jail, the stranger taunts the townsfolk, telling them that death is coming. Just then, vampires attack the local telecommunications center and power supply, rendering the town dark and cut off from the outside world. Eben goes to the telecommunications center and finds the operator's head impaled. Suspecting impending danger, Eben and Stella go through town, warning all the residents.

The vampires, led by Marlow, slaughter most of the townspeople, while the remaining survivors congregate in the diner. As Eben and Stella recover ammunition and supplies, vampires attack but Beau Brower rescues them. Everyone takes shelter in a boarded-up house with a hidden attic. Marlow finds the stranger in the jail and snaps his neck.

Over the next week, Eben, his younger brother Jake, Stella, and seven other survivors stick it out in the attic. The vampires use Kirsten Toomey as bait and Eben leaves to help her but finds John Riis in a crawlspace. As vampires kill the girl, Eben attempts to help John; but upon discovering that he is a vampire, cuts off his head.

When a blizzard hits, Eben and the others use the whiteout to go to the general store. There, a girl vampire attacks. The whiteout ends during the struggle preventing the survivors from going back to the attic. Eben decides that everyone should go to the police station and provides a diversion by running to his grandmother's house for an ultraviolet lighting system. He makes it to the house, jump-starts the generator, and turns the light on the vampires, wounding Marlow's lover Iris so badly he is forced to kill her to put her out of her misery.

Eben escapes the house, but the vampires follow him. Beau rescues him, killing many vampires with his tractor. He crashes into a hotel and ignites a box of dynamite, trying to kill himself before the vampires can. Unsuccessful, Beau survives the blast and his skull is crushed under Marlow's feet, but it allows Eben to reach the station.

Two weeks later, Stella and Eben see Deputy Billy Kitka signaling them with a flashlight and bring him back to the station. When the vampires first attacked, Billy had killed his wife and daughters so that they wouldn't die like the rest. He then tried to shoot himself but his gun jammed.

Eben, Stella, and Billy find that the others have made for the utilidor, a power station that still has power. They begin to sneak towards it and spot a human girl, Gail Robbins, pursued by the vampire Zurial. Stella helps the girl while Eben and Billy distract Zurial. Stella and Gail manage to hide under an abandoned truck; Eben and Billy both make it to the utilidor, where they find the other survivors, but the vampire Arvin gets inside. Arvin attacks Billy, ripping into his neck, but as he turns to Eben, Billy knocks Arvin into the gears of the utilidor's pump, shredding him, also accidentally shredding his own hand. Also due to the wounds the vampire inflicted, Billy begins to turn into a vampire, forcing Eben to cut off his head.

The sun is due to rise soon and the vampires prepare to burn the town to prevent any survivors from telling the world what happened. Realizing he cannot beat the vampires in his current state, Eben injects himself with infected blood from Billy so he can become a vampire. He engages Marlow in a vicious battle, and the fight ends when Eben punches all the way through Marlowe's head, killing him. Leaderless and with the sun about to rise, the other vampires disappear.

Eben and Stella watch the sunrise together. While Stella rests on Eben's shoulder, they share one last kiss. Stella holds Eben tightly in her arms as the sun brightens the sky, and Eben dies, his body burning to ashes, while Stella looks on at the sky finally closing them and coming to grips with what has happened.
