This wasn't a bad film. A nice little Halloween flick with some great gore effects, but unfortunately it's typical of many films based on novels... the book was better.
Not going to spoil any plot details, but you definitely get more details about what is going on with this creepy little town if you read the novel.
The novel also shows the story from several perspectives including the monsters which is something the movie leaves out, much to it's detriment.
The director did Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night so you can expect some hard hitting moments. I liked his dark style of filming and the incredible tension this reclusive, insular town seethes with and the violence that erupts. I do wish some answers regarding the history of the 'curse' was more fleshed out.
