30 Days of Nigt was a great movie

Last weekend my fiance and I went to the movies the see 30 Days of Night on it's opening weekend. We had both been anticipating the film since we seen the previews from another horror movie flick a while ago. We both love scary movies. The movie had not received the best reviews, so I was a little skeptical, but we both wanted to see it any way. I actually don't like to listen to the movie critics because their taste in movies is usually different from my own. Bug was a great example of that. They actually liked that movie whereas I thought it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I was upset with myself for picking it out. So, back the 30 days... We got to the movie theater and we were able to watch the previews. I love previews they are my favorite part of the movie. The problem that night however was that we had drank a couple of beers that night and so throughout the movie I had to keep running back and forth from the theater to the bathroom but luckily it was right by our theater. The movie started out a little slow but quickly caught up to speed. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I had hold of my fiance's arm almost the whole movie and my body was tensed up. Although there is some gory parts to the movie, it isn't overly gorry. The vampires look disgusting because their faces are all contorted a certain way that makes them all resemble each other, it was awesome. The ending is a little surprising because it isn't what you are expecting, but it was a really good movie. The problem with scary movies, for me is that I can't get them out of my head. So for the rest of the night that is all I keep thinking about. Even though I know that vampires don't exist, I still look around after I turn off the lights and hurry and jump into bed once I get in my room. Childish isn't it, but I guess that is one of the best things about a good scary movie is that it makes you second guess reality.
