Not as good as 30 days of night but OK!

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2009)

I agree with another persons comment on here asking was this supposed to be a comedy? I thought Sam Raimi did an amazing job with 30 days of night.It was dark and scary.This new one was comical and way over the top.It was entertaining though. It had it's jump out of your seat moments but I did not find anything about it scary. It started out with a typical unexplained set of events just to open the movie then goes to present day. I liked how the characters were introduced and found the scene at the bank quite amusing.I hated the scene where the poor little kitten got sacrificed,this was unnecessary.And then the dumb ass remark later on about how one of the characters hated cats yet had one as a pet.Whoever put that crap in this script obviously hates cats! This stupidity is why I gave it a 6 out of 10. Alison Lohman who plays Christine was good in the beginning but then after the cat was killed she got on my nerves.She started lying to her boyfriend about everything and acting really stupid like a complete nutcase offering no explanation to all the weird sh*t that was happening to her and all around her.I don't think she was a good choice for this movie in a leading role.Her acting was horrible and I found myself feeling no sympathy at all for her character.I think the movie would have worked way better if Justin Long was in the lead role as the one that worked at the bank and had been cursed instead,and Alison playing the smaller role as his girlfriend.Even though Justin's role was smaller,he was 10 times better and could have easily pulled it off. As for the plot i've seen this all before so it's nothing new,but it was not the worst movie i've seen!
