Love the premise....love the book (mostly because of ben templesmith as steve niles was definitely not the greatest writer at that point in his career. Ben Templesmiths art was brilliant and creepy and suited it perfectly....And the movie was fantastically true to his creative punch. it does follow the story of the comic pretty well and I think the reason I liked the movie is that it added to the sub-par story of the comic which helped a lot. I was expecting to think it was complete shit but instead. it's a decent movie. it's nothing spectacular. but I didn't feel cheated at the end. honestly though. even though it added more to the character foundations than te book had (which does make it better than the book which isn't an often occurence) it still had the same problem the book did. at the end of the day you really just ddn't give a shit about most of the charactersso there was no real emotional gut punch at any point in the movie that made you feel for anyone as they got mercilessly torn apart by feral savage vampires.. still all in all a decent movie. I was expecting the book and got something a little better

hmmm....after seeing it a second time in a theatre with more than 5 other people. it was even better than the first time around. and a lot of the prblems I had I noticed weren't really that bad. the main problem is really with editing. but all in all it's pretty fucking sick.

you watched a movie twice in theatres? I can't even let myself spend the money to go to any movie once

I'd get it on DVD for the comic-booky special features.

I just hated the ending. Fuck a duck, Josh Hartnett is NOT a bad-ass.

Ever.

Except in Sin City, but that's because he's in SIN FUCKING CITY.
