A great story and meaning turned mediocre

Rating: 4/10 (4 January 2008)

I would like to come out and say first that this movie was not completely awful. Though it was not by any stretch of the imagination anywhere near the genius of the book. I mean its a movie vs a book, but I the story itself was changed for the movie. It started off OK, but too little information was revealed about the past in very very small glimpse that really did not help much. The feeling of being alone was somewhat there but the actual point of the book was loss about halfway in. Many scenes felt rushed, some almost a little confusing. If only they kept the story from the book and successfully planted it into the movie~ That said if you don't like reading skip the movie and get the audio book. If you like zombie flicks then this is up your alley even though they were vampires they sure acted like zombies. In the book they used to haunt Neville by talking to him heh.
