Its all about style
I'm a huge horror movie buff, but, i will admit, there is one thing (almost) better than a horror movie: a graphic novel turned into a movie (even better, graphic novel turned into a horror movie). but i think you either love them or hate them. I loved Sin City and 300. Frank Miller is a genious. And I'm hoping that he would do the Sandman graphic novels into movies.
And now, my new favourite move is 30 Days of Night. What an incredibly beautiflly stylized movie, and by far one of the best vampire movies around. The movie is based on a series of graphic novels written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith and published by IDW Publishing, in 2002. Directed by David Slade (Hard Candy), its an amazing directorial accomplishment. Obviously, Hard Candy was nothing like 30 Days, but seeing his range, i can't wait to see what else what else Slade will do. So, if you like not just a story but beautifully shot frmaes, then this is the movie to see. Mind you, you do have to be able to stand a LOT of gore (i've seen Dead Alive, so i'm ready to go)
