    Eh, not sure Im sold on that one yet. Kinda luke warm to the whole "everybodys a vampire" idea. I kinda like my vampires lurking in the dark allies.

    That's what's nice about this one, it's outside the box, something different then the typical vamp in the dark alley.

    Thats a good point. I suppose you can only come up with so many "lurking in a dark alley" plots before they start to get old! ;)

    Precisely! Something different. Anything "out of the box" is good, especially with Vampires. They are too powerful to always remain in the dark.

    END OF THE WORLD... bring it on ;)

    I like these Omega Man/I Am Legend derivatives but unfortunately the interesting concept descends into stupidity. Okay, ok. It's not that stupid but the rush to wrap up the movie left me feeling cheated.

    Bah, I may be asking too much from a modern day vampire flick but don't blame me when the movie attempted to go with a semi-intelligent story that didn't deliver, wasn't scary, and didn't have enough action.

    In the end, I enjoyed seeing the world the director created but didn't care for the plot.
