was ok but not good.
Love it! I had warning that it was not what the trailer leads you to believe. So, I was able to watch it without any preconceived notions of what I thaught should happen!
i thought it was getting really good, until the ending happened. left me feeling very dissatisfied... felt like a waste of time after watching it.
A very boring movie in my opinion. Yeah the twist at the end was really trippy but all in all thats the only thing that really happens in this flick.
Started out quite well but the twist at the end was poor. Shyamalan has made better movies than this.
Highly underrated and misunderstood. This is not a horror film as the marketing led you to believe, this is a drama about how far people will go for love, and the ones they love. In this regard, it's stunning and brilliant. The cast is beyond capable and the score is amazing.
Not as good as some of the other movies he's done but it was creepy. The twist ending wasn't creepy but it was unexpected.
Don't expect anything going in and you will love it, I think the hype really killed this films reputation. I found this to be one of my favorite horrors of the past decade, due to the amount of suspense. It's got a great cast and performances, as well as a moving story. I really ...( read more)
Ok io voglio bene a Shyamalan, nonostante sia riuscito a creare delle cagatine gigantesche (facciamo finta che The happening non sia mai esistito), però questo film è davvero bello, e anche questo è stato apprezzato praticamente da due gatti, e non capisco davvero perché (a parte...( read more)
You have to know it is a M. Night Shyamalan movie before you see it. If you go in thinking its gong to be scray you will be disappointed. But If you know M. Night Shyamalan and still wanna see it you gonna like it.
Although the concept of this movie should of been entertaining, it wasn't. It was poorly executed, leaving the film in tatters. I had also high hopes for this movie because of the cast. Admittingly, the cast did pull of brilliant performances but it doesn't disguise the annoyance...( read more)
A great fictional example of using fear to control the population. M Night is an amazing storyteller, and this is a nicely drawn story that closely mirrors our 'political powers-that-be' and their use of fear to attempt to control our way of life.
Everyone gives this movie such a hard time, I think because they were expecting it to be like sixth sense. It is not a true horror tale, but more like a philosophy/psych class theory- what extreme would people go to for a utopia like existence and what prices would have to be pa...( read more)
"I: Let the bad color not be seen. It attracts them. II: Never enter the woods. That is where they wait. III: Heed the warning bell, for they are coming."
One of my fav and Shyamalan greatest movie ever.
This is what i call a SCARY moive.
A controversial movie, I don't know if i'd have the right to call it cult, but it won't definitely be enjoyed by a vast number of persons. Everyone was expecting a twist just because it's Shyamalan and were decieved that the twist was obvious, but for me I don't think there was a...( read more)
quite a time after watching Signs (which is now my most hated film) i decided to give one more chance to M. Night Shyamalan
well yeah, that and my girl keept telling me how good this one is
guess what - it is not
just minutes into the film i wished someone would throw a lot of...( read more)
Not really a romance in the true sense of the word, but this thriller was very romantic!
Ten minutes in i got the twist... it's not a bad film... but once you know what happens and that's the major basis of the movie it leaves little rewatch value.
I liked this better than I thought I would based on the reviews. Still not as good as the other Shyamalan films.
This movie would've been lost without Bryce Dallas Howard's acting. She was absolutely phenomenal, even eclipsing Joaquin Phoenix AND Adrien Brody, two of Hollywood's elite actors. No small feat. Shyamalan's third-best effort behind 6th Sense and Signs, though sadly he seems to b...( read more)
Shyamalan needs to pull out a few new tricks from up his sleeve, that said though, I found this to be quite entertaining!
The population of a small, isolated countryside village believe that their alliance with the mythical creatures that inhabit the forest around them is coming to an end.
It's riveting, edge-of-your-seat chiller with a stellar ensemble cast! Dares to boldl...( read more)
Lame, preposterous drama. For a cast with so many talented actors there are several terrible performances Hurt and Brody are the worst offenders but several others are at best lackluster.
At times quite good...other times...bland...so an uneven film. The death knell of a film.
Great cinematography and some scenes have stuck with me for awhile but overall...I don't know how I feel about the ending.
