Top movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2007)

I am a very big fan of vampire movies and it takes a lot to scare me or even get my heart racing in a film. This film however has succeeded in that. Not only were there times when my heart was racing but it even scared me a little, (although i was watching it in the dark). One main thing i love about this movie was the look of the vampires. Every vampire movie theses days is the same old story with the same looking vampires, congratulations to the make up artists on this film as it adds to the scare! Another reason this film is so good it the fact that you are not entirely certain what these creatures are in the beginning. It is a while before you visually see the face of the vampire, and not knowing what is hunting, is scary. And thirdly the ending isn't your typical 'happy' main characters survive story. Although i am a fan of Josh Hartnett and would of liked him to survive, the heroic ending definitely made the movie. Of course its good to see a bit of Australian in the movie too, i thought both actor/actress played a good role. Hats off the the Director and Producer as well as i thought the dramatic and artistic aspects of the film were well done.
