History Film / ThirtyDaysOfNight

* AdaptedOut: Judith and Taylor the vampire hunters tracking Marlowe and his actions in Barrow (although Judith was in some tie-in webisodes).

* AscendedExtra: The people hiding with Eben and Stella in the comic are a nameless, interchangeable mass, but here, they get names and personalities (although most also get a DeathByAdaptation).

* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: Five]] people survive from the whole group Eben Leads. And they make up about half of the survivors of the entire town of 152 people.
%%Administrivia/RepairDontRespond** Not entirely the case fortunately, as a wide shot of the burning town shows a few other survivors emerging from their hiding places.

* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: Five]] people survive from the whole group. And the town of 152.

* ForWantOfANail: Most of the survivors left town for a month. Stella desperately wanted to be among that group, but missed her flight. She ends up reconnecting with her estranged husband Eben and promising that they will watch the sunrise together. [[spoiler: The promise is kept, but only because Eben was willing to infect himself in order to save Stella.]] Had she made her intended flight, she might never have patched up her relationship with Eben. [[spoiler: And Eben would very likely have survived since without Stella to worry about. He would have stayed in the shelter until the sun came up.]]

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Their ashen skin, solid black eyes and [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily mouths full of small, sharp teeth]] make them look almost like sharks. This depiction is [[NightmareFuel far more terrifying]] than the typical metrosexual bloodsucker. They also don't seem to need an [[MustBeInvited invitation]].

* UndeadChild: One scene has the group fighting against a vampire girl. It takes all of them to restrain and kill her.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The large grinding machine is shown at the start of the film. Unsurprisingly, a vampire is [[GroundByGears thrown into it]] not long after the survivors reach the plant.]]

* CuteCry: While most of the tears shed in the film are pretty messy, Jake manages to cry quite prettily when [[spoiler: Eben infects himself with vampire blood so he can fight Marlow]], knowing it means he will lose his last blood relative.

%%* GrimUpNorth: Takes place in Barrow, Alaska.

* KubrickStare: The vampires of this movie are very fond of pulling these, especially [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/209a339f4cf03c2be1279e6443c3539f/0d85ffd8391a658a-72/s540x810/ef331b6c4f0228536d383e7ca5e24b150cae49d8.gifv Arvin]] and [[https://i0.wp.com/www.audienceseverywhere.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/30-Days-of-Night-5.jpg Iris]].

Also it's an adaptation of the first book from [[ComicBook/ThirtyDaysOfNight a graphic novel series of the same name]], written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Creator/BenTemplesmith.
