Wow!

I went to see this last night and I must say I'm impressed. Ironically I was complaining on the car ride up that there haven't been any scary movies made recently that have been scary the second or third time you see them. I was so wrong because 30 Days was petrifying. I found it fascinating that the vampires were shark like. I'm guessing this was done because they weren't supposed to be the seductive, beautiful vampires one usually sees in the movies, but bloodthirsty animals who are never sated, always looking for the next kill. Yes there was a lot of gore which usually turns me off, but the truly frightening thing about this movie was the feeling of being trapped that not only are the characters experiencing but the audience experiences as well. Josh Hartnett has completely redeemed himself in my eyes, (I haven't been able to watch a movie with him in it since Black Dahlia, the biggest piece of crap ever made), and was probably the best actor in the movie. I'm definitely going to see this one again.
