I WANT TO ENJOY 30 DAYS OF NIGHT

David Slade, the director of last year's HARD CANDY, has a new film coming out this weekend: 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Based on an acclaimed graphic novel, it's a vampire/survival horror movie with Josh Hartnett and Danny Huston. The ads, both on television and in print, I think, have been especially striking. The direction displayed by Slade in HARD CANDY was simply marvelous; I have a feeling this movie could be a cut-above for the genre.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a smart (ok, at least somewhat smart), stylish, gritty, and scary vampire movie out there? I'd like to see a good vampire movie for once. Actually, when was the last good vampire flick? INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE?

Maybe 30 DAYS OF NIGHT will kick some ass...
