Directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, Black Mirror), produced by Evil Dead legend Robert Tapert, and based on Steve Niles’ bestselling comic book series, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT is a blood-freezing good time of a horror film, a cross between Assault on Precinct 13 and I Am Legend with a bloody dash of Near Dark. Josh Hartnett (Oppenheimer) is brilliant as an Alaskan sheriff, who with his wife Melissa George (Triangle), team up against a vampire horde led by the magnificently nasty Danny Huston (Ivan’s XTC) in the dark snowy wastes.

Described by The Telegraph ‘a must see’, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT is a film that is ‘gruesomely entertaining’ (Sunday Mirror), featuring a chilling score by Brian Reitzell (Hannibal), atmospheric cinematography by Jo Willems (The Hunger Games), and more vampire mayhem than you can shake a crucifix at.

For centuries, vampires have stayed in the dark, forced to hide each morning or else be destroyed by the burning power of the sun. But that’s all about to change, when a group of marauding and bloodthirsty vampires led by Marlow (Danny Huston), discover Barrow, Alaska; a remote, isolated town that is plunged into a state of complete darkness for 30 days every winter. As the merciless predators commence their month-long feast of the helpless residents, it is up to Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife, Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors to do anything and everything they can to last until daylight.

30 DAYS OF NIGHT is available to buy on a limited edition 4K UHD SteelBook, Blu-ray, and DVD from 27th July 2026
