"The humor tends to skew toward the obvious and goofy, though some of the best jokes are also the more understated, as when the would-be hero chief of police, Bill Pardy (the very fine Nathan Fillion, late of "Serenity"), on his way to a showdown with the monster with a posse of heavily armed deputies, pauses to lock his car with a chirping remote key. This small, inane gesture effectively puts the action on pause, drawing out the tension, and underscores the ordinariness of the designated good guy (even while suggesting that he may not be quite up to the challenge). It also makes you think about logistics, a critical component of a genre that demands a certain pragmatic savvy from its characters."

I can't wait to see this movie (by the way, any swedes here who knows when it opens?)
