Yeah, it was silly. I can't help wondering if the many unexplained bits are there on purpose, for some sequel. It doesn't make it better, but at least it's some consolation that the person who wrote the screenplay was not a complete nitwit.
Yes, we were talking about it afterwards. I've seen a few pages on the net and it does look good. We were wondering if the graphic novel has the same lame ending as the movie.
I quite want to see 30 Days Of Night even though I hate the comics. I think it's such a wonderful IDEA, even if the way the plot develops is clumsy and quite ridiculous. I was kind of hoping there might be slightly better characterisation in the film, but I guess not from what you say.
I'll try to check it out this week nevertheless.
I missed Shrooms when it showed at Frightfest this year on the grounds that it didn't start until about midnight and after a whole day of being pummelled by rubbish horror films, it wasn't too appealing, but I'd be up for seeing it.
I can tell you will be very irritated with 30 Days of Night. However, it has a big budget behind it, and the director did some nifty things with the suspense and the gore - so that at least is a worthwhile reason to see it. :-)
Yes, let's go see Shrooms together! Although it seems at first to be another teen horror film, the trailer seems to suggest that it's actually more involved than that.
I was afraid that all the gore in 30 Days would be CGI, which generally looks horrible. :(
Shrooms is a date though. It's out on the 23rd and I'm away for a few days after that up in the Midlands for the book stuff but when I'm back, we will go and you can get your book!
I actually don't think there was much CGI in 30 Days. The gore is pretty awesome actually, which left us a bit shocked when we realized it was rated 15. Some of the stuff is really graphic.
I haven't seen many films in the cinema this year, and I feel like it's a big shame. There are quite a few coming out that look good - other than Shrooms, there's also No Country for Old Men, by the Cohen brothers, which looks terrific.
My second shroom experience was a very bad trip. It was in my uni's residence hall, and it involved a toga party.

I'd had a comically terrible experience on mushrooms half way up a hill in Wales. *shudder*
