And even though it had a number one opening weekend, I don't think the movie's going to bring in such a big haul when all is said and done. Hopefully that means we won't have a sequel or spin-off on the way to movie screens any time soon.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-44215254459011888622007-10-25T11:59:00.000-07:002007-10-25T11:59:00.000-07:00From everything I'm reading about the movie versio...From everything I'm reading about the movie version, most of its flaws stem directly from the comic (which has been vastly overpraised and has spawned two sequels/continuations which will no doubt be inflicted upon the public eventually).<BR/><BR/>Everyone is looking for the Next New Thing in Horror to Point The Way - 30 DAYS ain't it, but it'll be ripped off just the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-9792367567280270022007-10-21T09:23:00.000-07:002007-10-21T09:23:00.000-07:00Yeah, The Descent was good stuff.

I don't think its been a matter of eons since a really superior horror effort has come along but this current year has been spotty at best. <BR/><BR/>30 Days just especially irks me because its makers have touted it so much as being a "real" horror film, something that might rank among the classics. And to my mind, it falls way short of that mark. <BR/><BR/>If people go in looking for an uncomplicated action movie/gore-fest, I can see it working on that level. And for those who do like it, more power to them. But I'm guessing that the overall response is going to be one of boredom.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-13818204353317805822007-10-20T22:11:00.000-07:002007-10-20T22:11:00.000-07:00Disappointing to hear--I skimmed your review becau...Disappointing to hear--I skimmed your review because I still want to see the movie, but your displeasure is clear. As for a recent real horror film, what about <B>The Descent</B>? That's what I'm talking about.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.com
