I was surprised by this one. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Have you seen it? What were your thoughts on this movie?

No. I choose not to watch movies like that. There is enough evil in this world without me having to bring it into my home as well.

I plan on seeing it when it's on DVD. I hate going to the theater.It's so expensive, and obviously you can't pause it if you need the restroom.


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

I know what you mean eden32. I prefer to watch most movies at home too. I watched this one yesterday at home on DVD, got it from the rental store.

I love horror movies. But this one was not one of my favorites. I felt the vampires were too monsterish. I thought I was going to like it better than I did. I'm glad you found enjoyment in it.


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

They were rather monsterish looking weren't they. Not your typical looking vampire. Thanks for sharing sweetcake1369. happy

I saw it and quite enjoyed it. I'm sure I heard of a similar movie though, from Finland maybe?

I liked it, but it's not one of my favorites. I think the acting was well done, the idea for the story was good, but the plot was kind of lame. It could have been much better with a little more drama. But it is worth watching.

I have not seen it yet but, I do want to. I love a good horror film. I can't say that I will see it in the theater because I don't even think my hubby wants to see it. So, I will probably wait till it comes to cable.


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

I got it yesterday from the rental store. If you do watch it, let me know what you think. Thanks cortjohappy


myLot reputation of 97/100. cortjo73 (1842)   ranked 820 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

LOL! I didn't think it was still in theaters! LOL! I couldn't remember. If I see it, I will let you know what I thought about it!

HI Just drink your blood and shut up!

It is with day-glo irony that one character in "30 Days of Night" makes an offhand reference to cinema's penultimate bloodsucking actor, Bela Lugosi. While the original Universal "Dracula" remains the cornerstone of cinematic vampire lore, the way of the mythic creatures has gone into hyper drive in the last few years, most visibly in the "Underworld" series.
Yes, it seems that vampires just aren't that interesting anymore, unless they're screeching, howling, hurtling through the air at great speed, and outfitted with the latest in repulsive denture prosthetics.



myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

I agree, they've really become advanced. I'm still a big fan of the older Dracula movies. Thanks for taking the time out to share angelvoyagera. happy

My sister in law recommended this movie to me. She said it was pretty gorey. So I bought it when it came out. I really liked it. It isn't your typical romantic thriller like most vampire movies are. It is intense and sneaky and bloody.


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

Agreed, thanks for responding mrsfrodotata. happy

I love this movie..i love horror movies. This movie is not only focusing of horror thing. A one man who sacrificed himself to save his people. He let himself transformed as one of the vampires and he killed the most leader of them all..And the saddest and touching part was when he and the girl that he love most waited for his death. He embraced each other until the sunrise appeared and turned him into a dust... sad


myLot reputation of 86/100. ciades (851)   ranked 2,333 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

"They" embraced not He embraced.. happy


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

I agree ciades. After going through all of it, then realizing that was the only way for them to be saved. I cried a tear or two when they were watching the sunrise. Thanks for taking time out to share with us!happy

I have seen the movie . It was so chilly. The vampires in the movie looked kind of realistic. This is the most scary thing about the movie. The whole atmosphere was scary.


myLot reputation of 86/100. starlight81 (943)   ranked 167 out of 6,831 in watching movies  4 months ago

I was most scared when they were all in the attic waiting. Then they could hear the fast footsteps above them. I thought for sure the vampires were coming in, but they didn't. Thanks for responding arjunhappy
