30 Days of Night - Savagely Feeble

My wife and I yesterday went on a rush-date to SM Fairview to catch the last full showing of 30 Days of Night, a horror flick topbilled by Josh Hartnett.

While the movie did make us hold on to our seats (and lose my appetite for the rest of the evening), there are a lot of flaws that even an unsuspecting 5th grader will notice, but I'm not about to spoil that here (probably after the film's run).

Having read Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles with which she painted fashion-conscious, emotionally-deprived pictures of vampires--in this movie however, you'll see savage, blood-thirsty, extremely-ugly-and-unlikable vampires on a feeding frenzy.

As expected from a horror movie, there are the usual gory scenes but are not enough to keep you at the edge of your seats. There's the obvious attempt to put in an emotional angle but you won't catch it in time until the movie's over.

But go enjoy it for the long Halloween weekend.
