Had to bump this thread. Went and saw it tonight, and thought it was dope. If you like M. Night Shyamalan, and his style, you wil like this movie. I knew I shouldn't trust what other peeps are saying. It was much much better than Lady in the Water (which is his only film I hate). Anyone who liked the Village or Signs(which I like both alot but know other people hate) will like this film. There were some genuinely disturbing scenes in the film, ones that catch you off gaurd. He also achieves a nice "small town" feel in alot of the shots like he did in Signs.
Perhaps the problem is these days with LOTR, Spiderman, Batman, Transformers, etc. People are expecting some kind of epic title, which this movie certainly is not. I personally like this style of film more than any "epic" title though. I would see it again...it leaves you with the thought that anything could happen, which I know is what M.Night said he was going for....well done.
