I thought it was good, a bit bad that they used a cure for cancer as the catalyst though.

"we can cure cancer but the side effects means you can't go out in the sunlight and you turn into a gibbering crazy freak of nature"

Would of been a good film but the ending ruined the whole film. Its as if they ran out of money or time and just stuck a bit on the end. Really disappointed, could of ended soo much better.

( though I did miss the first min)

I eagerly awaited this film since October-ish, and specifically didn't download it as I wanted to wait till it was in cinema to see it (big screen n all that) which I never do unless it's a film I *REALLY* wanna see, and think it will be worth watching it on a large screen (as I hate cinema's - stink, noisey, usually have shit sound, half of em using 10yr old projectors.....)

I thought it was ok..... Bit dissapointed by it tho. No background story (just a few flashbacks, but no real "this is how/why it happened) segment) made it feel like it actually missed the beginning off the film! Was like it had a middle, an ending, but no beginning - odd!

Other than that it was okay, but a tad dissapointed really - it's one of those films that could have been SOOOOOOOOO good but the crap direction and lack of embellishing the story made it a sub-par. Like Hostell - could have been an EXCELLENT film - but the shitty direction and the "I can't be fucked to tell the story, lets just skip over it really lightly" approach killed it. Same with 30 Days of Night.

I should be a movie director - mine would be superb Long as shit, but superb

Just come back from seeing it, it wasn't bad at all, and at the end he did what he had to do to let her get away.

Nice advertisement for Ford too
