Netflix fans have praised a vampire movie as ‘one of the best’ of its kind while noting that it also made for an ‘awesome watch’.
Taking to the Facebook group Netflix Bangers, which has over three million members, one user was enthralled by the film.
They wrote: ‘This is one of the best vampire movies I’ve seen, absolutely loved it!’.
Agreeing that it was worth the watch, one fan commented: ‘Great movie, need to watch it again…’

Fans were referring to 30 Days Of Night, which was released back in 2007 and is based on the eponymous comic book series written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Ben Templesmith.
The film is set in the the small town of Barrow, Alaska, which experiences one month of complete darkness every year.
As a result, most of the residents head south for the winter, but some locals choose to remain behind.
However, on one occasion, those that stay come to regret their decision when hungry vampires descend on Barrow from a mysterious ship.
The plot subsequently centres on the exploits of Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his wife (Melissa George) and a dwindling band of survivors – who must try to stay alive until dawn breaks over Barrow’s monthlong twilight.
After being produced on a budget of $30million (£23million) and grossing over $75million (£58million) at the box office, it was made into a franchise.
This included the release of a prequel miniseries, Blood Trails in 2007, a sequel miniseries named Dust to Dust, in 2008, and a sequel film Dark Days, which was released straight to home media, in 2010.
While reviews from Netflix fans were positive – feedback on aggregator sites was slightly more mixed.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 51% based on 157 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6 out of 10.
Meanwhile, fellow aggregator Metacritic reports a weighted average score of 53 out of 100 based on 29 critics
