30 Days of Night

i rarely go to the movie theater but this movie seemed promising enough that we shelled out the dough. we just got back an hour ago. it was dark out already and i walked very briskly to the house waiting for the hubster to open the door so i could rush in. i've finally shaken off the heeby-jeebies. i say that now but will probably be looking over my shoulder, under the bed, and on rooftops for at least a month!

i've been so let down by vampire movies for quite a while now and this one was worth the money to go see. of course no movie is perfect and we all have different tastes but this movie worked for me. we were both creeped out during the movie, jumped many times, gasped, and i even pointed at the screen at one moment cuz one of the freaky vampires was sneaking into view. there were awesome shots that gave such a desolated feeling and overall sense of helplessness.

the basic jist of the movie is this......small town in middle of nowhere alaska, no sun for 30 days, all communication & means of escape have been disabled, vampires come to town & the massacre begins......

more info?? they weren't the pretty romantic vampires (don't get me wrong, they have their place in movies, books, etc) but the straight on monster vampires which at one point you realize actually have some intelligence behind their plans. that usually creeps me out more. anyhoo, if you're like me and have been disappointed in vampire movies for a long time go check this one out!!!!!!!!! i'd love to hear what others think about it.
