| iAfrica.com Rob Peters  It is awesome stuff. | 10 | |
| The Citizen Peter Feldman There is more pressure, however, on the audience to remain in their seats until the bitter end. | 6 |  |
| 24.com Ivan Sadler Like an angry undead pit-bull, 30 Days of Night grabs you by the throat, shakes you around mercilessly and only lets you go when the sun comes up. | 10 | |
| BBC Ann Kelly For its final third, 30 Days Of Night strikes out a nerve-jangling, bloodily unpredictable route to a truly stunning ending that's well worth the wait. | 15 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert it is well-made, well-photographed and plausibly acted, and is better than it needs to be. | 13 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli It's a pleasant change of pace to get a vampire movie where the bloodsuckers are allowed to be monsters. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt30 Days of Night takes a fun premise and then pretty much squanders it in a rote us vs. them horror flick. | 8 | |
