Hope it's not following me
I really enjoyed this movie. Nowadays, it takes more than a jump scare and some blood to get me to hop out of my seat and pay attention. I need atmosphere and creep factor and this movie delivered.
The old "killer goes after those that have sex in a horror movie" rule gets turned on its head with a new and, dare I say it, modern perspective.
I loved the eclectic, old Polaroid quality of each shot, giving the movie a retro vibe while being futuristic at the same time -- setting the movie in no exact time frame.

This wasn't Patterson's best novel.
it was obvious to me from the beginning that the killers were hiding underground. i knew Samson was going to get hurt, but honestly i think the blood-lust would have been better if he died. (even though Samson is one of my favorite characters.) some of the scenes were just a bit too... descriptive... for me. both in the murder details and that of the rapes. i skipped a few pages. and he was incredibly repeditive with Nana-- she always had to have the last word. (dude. you said it five times. we've got it.)
i'm hoping the next one is better.

What a great, great book! I loved this from start to finish, even if I was confused in the beginning, what with all the species and their codes of conduct and all. Mercy was a very put together character; not too weak and not too strong to be unbelievable. While I do wish that authors in this genre would quit with the multiple love interests, Patricia Briggs managed it quite well, and I look forward to those developments (although I'm partial to Adam myself :P). I've already ordered Blood Bound from the library and can't wait to get my greedy little hands on it and other future installments! :)

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.

Saw esque thriller that has its moments.
Having read the synopsis I was expecting a standard thriller with the usual twist or two (which this one does have) but this was actually an ok film in parts.It sets itself up with a Saw like premise (bunch of strangers..a game that needs to be played) but unlike saw it doesn't rely on blood and gore to dispatch of each player.
The games they are made to play to survive are fairly simple and not taxing on their brain.The characters are fairly one dimensional but I guess most are in these kind of films.
Expect to see a sequel sometime soon.

Original Vampire Film
A very cool, unique and classy vampire film. It's 9 years from now and nearly everyone is a vampire. However with not so many humans around producing blood the vampires are starving and becoming more like mindless bat-like creatures. Is there a way to save both vampires and humans?
I really like the ideas behind the vampire world and how life and technology has adapted to their needs. A good cast, slick visual effects, some bloody scenes and a pretty good story that is more original than most, move this towards the top of the food-chain for Vampire films!

If you saw the 2nd film then you know what to fear in this 3rd installment. As with most direct to DVD low budget horror sequels, expect bad acting, more gore and nudity. This cast line up does have a few familiar faces in it but the acting is pretty hammy.
The cgi effects for the crocs and blood is really poor. Despite all that it probably just about surpasses the 2nd film, at least the story line this time has a bit more action. One for the low budget horror fans to laugh at!

I really enjoyed this book. It combines two of my favorite things. Mozart and Vampires. It was a different read for me and I enjoyed the different representation of vampires. It was not all seduction or all blood. I think the one thing that made this book fascinating to me is that I was very fortunate to see Don Giovanni performed and that helped me understand the book more and relate the book to the play. This was a good read that combines opera, vampires, and surviving life.
I would definitely recommend this book to individuals who enjoy opera (especially Don Giovanni) and vampires.
