DISQUS

Jim Rohner · 1 year ago

I saw a press screening of this movie Tuesday night. It's phenomenal. I'm already pissed that the director of Cloverfield has been signed on to direct a remake of this, which is in every way the exact opposite of Cloverfield - static well-framed shots, emotional poignancy, tenderness, slow deliberate pacing, Swedish, etc.

A vampire flick surrounding the one kid who didn't get cast in "The Village of the Damned"? That's got to be worth the price of the candy I'm going to buy. As for Matt Reeves, I'm thankful the rumored "Cloverfield" sequel is being shelved for now. There really is no reason to go back there. It's power and impression was based on its uniqueness, which is obviously gone if revisited. Let's see if he can prove to the movie watching audience he is not a one-hit, one-style wunderkid. (Please let this not become like the remake of "Insomnia"...PLEASE!)
