30 Days of Night released in 2007 starring Josh Hartnett is one of the best vampire movies I have seen.

Directed by David Slade (Eclipse anyone?), it evolves on the remote Alaskan town of Barrow where every year, it enters into a thirty-day long period without sunshine. Thirty days of night that is, hence the title.

One time, a group of vampires taking advantage of the darkness wandered into the town and started feeding on the towns folk.  A small group of people banded together to survive the onslaught until sunlight returns.

While I like the Blade Trilogy and The Twilight Saga, the former is too violent while the latter is too cheesy romantic. 30 Days of Night is somewhere in between. The movie’s ending is also a strong tearjerker.

Not exactly the conventional way to do it but it pumped-up the crowd nevertheless.
