I saw it a couple of weeks ago and liked it for the most part. The ending seemed a little......contrived?, maybe?....that's the best word I can think of for right now. There were quite a few holes in the plot as far as I'm concerned; however, I really liked the concept.

Yeah...far too many holes in the plot. The little vampire girl in the store, the ship at the beginning, her under the car near the end etc etc

I wonder if the faces of some of the vampires were done with make up or computers? They did look very freaky.

I have to say that I'm a marginal thumbs up on the movie...I saw it when it came out having been a big fan of the graphic novel/comic... But sometimes the translation from paper to the big screen leaves much to be desired...but isn't that always the case? Read the graphic novel...that's a solid thumbs up!

Hi the CG!

I have never read a graphic novel but I would be interested to see the one this movie is based on. But do you think a graphic novel could ever be as scary / atmospheric as a movie?

Yeah,I REALLY loved The Movie and thought it was Actually Really Unique and Frightening....Just wonderful atmosphere and Everything about it was terrific....That guy in the beginning In Jail Was great at freaking you out and how the vampires began by killing all communication and transportation to the town was Great too.....

but your right about those plotholes....I never thought about that....What WAS the deal with that ship in the beginning? ....And What WAS The deal with the vampire baby? Was she there all along Or did someone turn her by accident? I think it was more to shock Us that they axed to death a little girl than anything else.....
and the whole "IM done playing with THIS ONE!" Was Super freaky too so i loved it.

Of course it could be as scary, if not more scary...since there are no limits with your imagination. There are so many nuances and details that can be quite difficult to express in a film that can be readily communicated through a book, graphic novel or comic book. Naturally the success of a story is dependent on the skill of it's teller, in this case the artist and writer...but I think they deliver the goods in this particular instance... Try it and tell me what u think. :wink:

Yeah think I will, the CG.

Where do you buy them? Just normal book shops or do I have to go to one of those nerdy comic book places? (just kidding)

Yer in the UK...so I'm not quite sure where u could get it... Where I am most of the mainstream booksellers carry graphic novels, esp this one in particular since it ties-in with the movie. If you've got a Virgin Megastore nearby they may have it. There's always Amazon.com and eBay. But if you are brave enough you could surely find it in a comic shop...and the clerks (nerds) there could give u some recommendations on other good reads! :wink:
