Movie was ok but the ending sucked. It's like an important part was missing. But imo Josh Hartnett gave a good performance.

I mean, where they hide after the 30days...

Why they never show how his bother escape from the vampire... i thought there are something behind it since the crazy guy said they (the vampire) chosen him (the brother) or something...

They just die after the 30 days I think since it's almost dawn when the final fight happens.

I guess thats one of the plot holes which was never explained.
And how was the dirty guy who got thrown into jail related to the vampires? How come the vampires didn't kill him when they went for the guy's brother and grandmama?
*
I tot the vampire kill him later? And I think the guy thrown into jail is the one who killed those dogs since those dogs are killed before night and before the arrival of vampires. So, he is probably the teammate of vampires.

Well, i think there's is sequel to tis movie.

I demand the revival of Eben for an interesting sequel.

To further understand this goddamn thing, I am getting the comic whistling.gif

-You-know-who can smell blood, but the rest of the vampires can't laugh.gif
-The vampires can catch up with a Chevrolet, but they can't catch up with Josh Hartnett laugh.gif
-How did Gail survive that long alone??
-Where did Marilyn Manson go at the end? I thought he was chasing Billy and Eben?

From wikipedia, the explanation is "Because of the cold, the vampires' senses are weakened and a few of the town's residents are able to hide." This is for some questions, others I dunno.

LOL, u watch this movie only to expect nudity scene?

I watched it yesterday, quite scary but I don't think this movie is logic after all. And the last fight is so....not thrilling. And can anyone explain to me why the heck they want to go to the big factory-like place?

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

not this movie la...we were talking about the alyssa milano's movie doh.gif

if u read the graphic novel, the survivors didn't change their hiding places like they did in the film...they stayed in one place (a well hidden basement)...i think the director wants them to go from one hiding place to another just to create suspense...

QUOTE(beck_ken @ Nov 9 2007, 07:49 PM)
i missed the first 5-10 minutes of the show...
when i entered the cinema, the female actress' car was broke down and can't make it to airport for the last flight.

oh well, why the vampire wanna attack the village?
*
a feeding frenzy...free food without having to fear the sun light and the resistance from the 'food' for 30 days...

QUOTE(HMMaster @ Nov 9 2007, 08:13 PM)
where the vampire gone after sunrise? Its not like they have place to hide...
*
even the graphic novel didn't show where they went when the sun came up...but it was as though they ran away to hide and when eben want to chase them, stella told him not to and said something like "they will never come back"...

QUOTE(ericjeff @ Nov 9 2007, 11:25 PM)
i give this 3 out of 5.... story quite ok only..... but josh harnett played a good role...... and the girl also.....

but somehow i hav many question to ask after i watch this movie.....

1. how they come and how they hid before that? why they now baru attack the place? ... they said waited for a long time.....
based on the graphic novel, the attack on barrow was led by a rebellious vampire, marlow (a small boss)...there's a vampire big boss named vicente (an old vampire, maybe a pure blood)...all this while the vampire never attack a town in such manner bcoz they don't want human to know that vampire exist...bcoz the last time human knew about vampire, vicente's father and brother end up dead...marlow's intention was to impress vicente by presenting a feeding ground but it seems that it was a wrong move... 

2. why josh harnett killed the black guy while he almost turn into vampire instead of giving him a task as a lure or something? waste lo~.....
at that time, he hasn't thought about using a vampire to fight the vampires...he only thought about it out of desperation to safe his wife...

3. how come other ppl come out after the vampires leave?
sure la, the sun is already up...vampire won't attack them in day light

4. why the stupid vampires scare of josh harnett after he killed the boss? then where they go? weird
they were afraid of eben bcoz it seems like he is not on their side (something like 'angel", the vampire with soul)...and eben has the strength that could match their former boss...they ran bcoz eben might kill them next...

*
btw, the crazy guy in the jail, he was being used by the vampire to disable the town with a promise that later he will be one of the vampire...in the film, it seems like the vampire boss killed him (they're not keeping their promise)...but in the graphic novel, the crazy guy was killed by eben and stella when he tried to escape the lock up...

Yes, they (or rather, Eben) did.

This is a common problem with book to film adaptations; always bits and pieces of information left out, leaving viewers slightly confused.

Anyway, back to your question. According to the comic(s), there were around 462 people in Barrow just before the attack, and 19 after. The survivors hid in an abandoned industrial furnace (basement-like) and Eben went out for food whenever possible.

I don't like these movies either....30 Days of Rubbish is more like it, I don't want to start where's the flaw on these movies. 1408 is better, at least the beginning of it

Ah, it's not really scary. I was quite startled and grossed-out after seeing the initial vampire bursting out of nowhere and macking on a human like a chewtoy, but after that, the movie became predictable and boring.

The boss vampire's lines were so lame and pretentious. Like he's making some biblical pronouncement on the human and vampire condition every time he speaks. Blech.

I liked the ending though. If they had let him live, due to some kind of 'miracle' or something, I would've started throwing things. biggrin.gif

Overall, it's not worth the money (for me). Luckily, it was my friend's treat laugh.gif
