Save Your Money People

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2008)

This movie is just awful. I was really looking forward to it and I generally like bad/good B type movies. The first 10 minutes of the movie had some promise with wide angle Alaskan landscape shots, fast action monster sequences, and then the movie just falls apart.
The movie is premise is they have to survive for 30 nights, but if the director didn't randomly put up DAY 8 notification at scene changes, this movie could have all happened in 2 hours. Other than a bad beard growing on Josh, there is no concept of time passing or this month long siege that the vampires lay onto the town.
The vampires start off with promise, and then degenerate into some odd Adams family meets the honeymooners.
Don't even get me started on the plot flaws and ultimately making this out to have some sappy 'after 30 nights of fighting vampires I realize that I was wrong to leave you, honey' ending.
Than I read the pedigree on the director Slade. MTV videos for the Stone Temple Pilots. And it occurred to me, if the Stone Temple Pilots would have started playing in the middle of this movie, it might have had some redeeming qualities. Sam Ramni should have stuck with directing this instead of passing the buck. Some studio is p---ed that they got this product. And the good reviews on this one are clearly being seeded by the directors production assistant.
