Scared? You bet!

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2003)

This is a great movie for the sci fi fan who also likes Mel Gibson! Dealing with crop circles, former priest (but still farmer) Gibson also deals with the recent loss of his wife and raising his two children.
I didn't know what to expect from this film, I really didn't. I only paid half attention to it when the trailers advertised it in theaters and I gave it no thought at all when it came out on video. My significant other is a HUGE Mel Gibson fan, so I settled down to watch it the other night with her.
When the movie opens up we find Gibson dealing with quitting the church, the loss of his life and his dogs going nuts out in the corn field. Although we never saw anything out of the ordinary (in the beginning), I found myself hoping that this was, like most of the other crop circle formations, that it was all a hoax. So much for that idea! When we finally did see what was going on, I was definitely on the edge of my seat the rest of the film! When Gibson's brother almost fell out of his chair, I was right there with him, holding my breath, waiting for the next thing to happen!
