Have you ever taken a shower in the complete dark? I know it's weird. But try it...no really do it. I can almost gaurentee it's one of the creepiest things you can do. Maybe it's all the Physco refrences as we grew up but I couldn't do it. Trust me I tried. It's something about the darkness. I mean the shower curtain blocks your view of what's going on anyway but in the darkness it's double creepy. The reason I mention this is that I watched 30 Days of Night the other day. Trust me this film is way more than another crappy vampire film. Although the acting was just okay the film has two main things going for it. The darkness and the cinematography. Both were amazing. The film has a look that's almost all it's own, some may argue that the vampires are very zombie in their looks but I disagree. The way they walk, the way they communicate is all very vampire. As I mentioned the film doesn't have the best acting from Josh Hartnett and company, but it's not too bad. However what makes the film stand out is the way it looks. You see the last bit of daylight in the first in 15 minutes and from their on in you really do believe you are up in Alaska experiencing 30 days of night. Oh you want some plot do you? Fine...small Alaska town...vampires attack and kill people since the sun does not come out at all for 30 days...nuff said.


The film does have some low points, the whole evil child vampire has been done to death in a 100 films before this and although Josh does a good job I thought the ending was very cheesy Hollywood. Also what's up with the final fight seen? Someone leave me a comment about that below and please explain it. Even if your not a fan of horror or a film geek like myself this movie is worth a rent for the feeling of darkness and the cinematography. If you ARE a film geek this DVD has got to be nominated for one of the best "Film Schools in a Box" for 2008. It's has over 5 features and they are amazing. Everything from how they filmed all the night scenes over the course of 33 nights, to how they shot in the cold, to how they trained the actors to act like vampires. All amazing stuff. It also features some great candid interviews from the Director and all the actors. If you want to see some samples of  them watch below and then rent or buy the DVD to watch them all. So go rent or buy this one and then try taking that shower in the Dark....I dare you.

I give the DVD a B-

I have to admit, when this email crossed my desk and I saw the title I thought "great, another lame so-called horror movie.

I mean - "Midnight Meat Train"?  c'mon.

But wait, you have to watch the trailer.  It looks pretty cool.

Not only that but it stars a couple of my favorites - Brad Cooper (formerly of Alias, now has a recurring role in Nip/Tuck) and Brooke Shields.

Oh yeah, did I mention it's also based on a Clive Barker short story?  That alone should put a little ice in your blood.

The story seems to follow a photographer (Cooper) who accidentally captures a murder on a subway on film.

Of course (it seems) the police don't believe him, so Cooper takes it upon himself to catch the murder. 

I'm not going to say much more except watch the trailer (after the jump).  Be sure to watch to the end!

This looks like a cool movie. Best of all it stars one of the best looking women in Hollywood.

If you like Jessica Alba then you are going to want to see this movie.

Even if you hate her, you'll still want to see this movie, especially if you like creepy movies.

What to know how I know this? Simple, click the link below to see the trailer.

This movie comes out in February of this year.  I can't wait!

Seriously people? Well the more I see of this movie the more it does look okay. As you know this movie is based on the book by Richard Matheson that I took my online name from. BUT if this movie sucks you know people are going to be harassing us. Oh well. Roll the clip people....

Sigh....here's hoping. ....
