In Mr. Slade's defense; that's how the graphic novel ended too. It just, really, was never a convincing sacrifice - kind of takes you our of the Anne Frank frame up. I thought the movie was pretty decent, as goes modern horror. The gore was very surprising and quite enjoyable. I like to see little kids eat it (in more ways than one). I like snow. I like winter clothes. But, really, some of the character motivation was so alien to me and without any serious development at all, who could care? Some hit, some miss, altogether: not a terrible edition to a sinking modern horror.
Ahh forgive my ignorance, I didn't realize it was Graphic Novel adaptation. Which makes sense, because of the style the movie took on. Nothing like 300, but still it had a sense of "page flipping" direction. I thought the movie was decent, but because of that ending..it was just like...what were they going with. So I guess the blame isn't in the movie's direction, but in Steve Nile's poor decision for a mediocre ending.
