Just back from seeing this. It was good, but one thing I really hated was how the "vampires" would screech and yell, it was SO annoying. Also, some of them looked like Pennywises' step children. lol Nice bits of gore though with a couple good actors.

Now to see Saw IV!

Saw this yesterday.

Some good mayhem in it and the look of the film was cool, but as a movie it sort of sucked.

Plot holes galore, very poor dialog, cliche`d characters. The vampires were creepy in the shadows, but eventually just looked like Marilyn Manson posers with needle teeth. They seemed very impressed with their own movements, like they thought they were really scary.

Not a good movie, but definitely some redeeming qualities for the gore hounds among us. But even the gore scenes were that herky-jerky-digi-clip 28 DAYS LATER style that is also now redundent. I think a better screenplay and a better director could have made the story a real gem.

Another Hollywood failure geared toward the MTV crowd.

I thought it was wasteful of the vamps to make their victims lose so much blood. It's like you know you can't get much blood around why be wasteful? Ration off the ppl! Even though it's like let's take this town down tonite then head to the next one tomorrow! I doubt they can honestly believe they'll have a town to eat each day.

Totally agree.

It made no sense at all.

Were they feeding or just killing for fun?

Bad writing.

Yeah I was confused about that too. Like are they actually eating them or just killing them? I hated that the most. Could have been something good instead it was like you said for the MTV generation.
