I really wish they had taken this direction instead of the one they took in the movie. (Yes, I've seen it)
While on paper, the idea of a town where there's 30 days of night and free roam for Vamps seems interesting, it looses its vigor in application, especially when the town is pretty much evacuated in the beginning minus all but a few people. There seemed to be more Vampires than humans.
This direction would have made the movie way more interesting.

I was referring to the point in the movie where everyone left because they didn't want to be there for "30 days of night". You're talking about AFTER most people left.
Regardless, I liked the direction of this better than the actual movie. That was my point.
How is 152 people a few people?

Did you actually SEE 152 people get killed? NO. Its just assumed they were all killed. That's not the point of this post anyway. My point was I liked the direction the director took with the city setting better than I did the actual movie. I still stand on that.
seriously, if ur a fan of the comic, the movie will be a bag disappointment
shareI read all three Graphic novels a while back and have to say the film is better than the first book(imo). the book skips so many days - it only feels like the whole thing happened overnight! the film has a much higher 'on screen' bodycount than the book. Their hiding place is better and makes more sense in the film. Its beautifully shot compared to the eratic styling of the book, althugh the artwork is great - its at the espense of the action, which the film did great. I always thought the books wasted a good idea and should have been much longer, the film did the idea justice.

If you read the first couple of pages of 'Return to Barrow', the 152 is discredited as spin from the authorities. It was more like 450.
sharelove the novels. liked the movie.
in the novels, i think the story was better placed, and well without the comic NO MOVIE! though i thought the movie fleshed out the gore better, then trying to think of it in you're mind.

- There are places that recieve consistant days of sunlight for long periods of time as well as consistant days of night for long periods of time. If everyone stayed it would be a very difficult life for many, and as most people can afford to move for the time of night because of the conditions, they will. But people also have to stay during the long periods of night as looting and crime can occur.
- 152 people are a "few"? There was around a dozen vampires, they can easily kill a great amount of people in a short amount of time and to go around showing every single one of those 152 deaths would not be possible in the movie timeframe. It wasnt even possible in the graphic novels.
- You are an idiot.
I still liked this better than the actual movie.

I agree with you completely blaqueknight2000. These shorts (Blood Trails and Dust to Dust) were far, far better than the feature length film. Tighter writing, better pacing and acting.
