I really liked it. Not my favorite of his movies, but it is classic M Night Shyamalan. It is much more graphic, and has a semi-horror vibe to it at times, which is kindof a new direction for him. I wasn't fond of Mark Whalberg in that role, but the girl was pretty good... and cute.

My advice to people that haven't seen it (or any other of MNS's movies) is to look beyond the main plot... there is ALWAYS much more to his movies than aliens, ghosts, and faeries.

I also thought it was alright. I had learned to expect more from Mark Whalberg, but wasn't too terribly disappointed.

good one iCafe. Sorry, but his movies have been worse and worse with each passing attempt. I doubt he gets much more of these kinds of movies...

Don't listen to iCafe, it doesn't happen that way. He's just his usual jackassness.
As a side note, the woman showing the video of the lion attacks in the movie was showing it on her iPhone.

Hayes, I think you've missed the point of MNS's movies... I can post more later when I get home, but he's not losing his edge at all.

Yeah he kinda is. If his movies aren't enjoyed then there is something wrong. He has had one failure after another. The only ones that anyone has ANYTHING good to say about are The 6th Sense, Signs, and maybe The Village. All his movies are just Gimmick movies. You wait for the one "twist" at the end which never really seems to be that great when it gets there. And most people guess them long before that happens anyway. I'm sorry, but it seems like most people that like his movies, like them because it was he that directed them. They just go because they saw his name on it, in the hopes that they'll be impressed like they were when they saw the 6th sense... I bet even they would say his movies sucked if he had promoted the movie under an alias.
