Obviously it's a good idea, but it's been played badly, Reivew on 30 Days of Night

When I first read the introduction, I felt that thirty polar nights plus a group of vampires were still very interesting. It's a pity, I don't feel the fear that a group of slaughtered people in a lonely town should show in the face of endless darkness (though they may be used to it) and the threat of death - they are indeed called crying dads. Shouting mother-but, what horror movie isn't screaming hysterical? Just screaming is useless, in such a lightless, warm environment, facing a group of mad dog-like monsters, the film should show us A more primal, or more shocking, fear than just being there crying.
There is also a big question. The group of people led by the protagonist Eben have spent thirty days in cold, loneliness, and fear. Why do they seem to have nothing at all? How can you not feel haggard (except for the longer hair and beard) under the huge psychological pressure of not knowing when to die? Especially the nine days they stayed in the police station, it felt like a blink of an eye, nothing changed? In other movies, let alone nine days, even if you stay for one day, you can change from a young boy to a dying person...
and at the end, it is quite similar to the XX warrior... Although the burning time is quite long ...
