Creeeeeeeepy!

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2006)

I haven't seen this film in over six months, but I remember it well.
The only thing that makes this movie good is that Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix are in it. Their performances are terrific. I don't appreciate the language they use, and the young boy, Morgan, (Rory Culkin) uses a term that I strongly object to.
***MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!*** The story, on the other hand is pretty good. This movie is no longer among my Top 30 list, but it would probably be on my top 50.
The death of the two dogs should not have had to happen, though. I don't think that the male dog should have gotten violent, and Isabel, the female dog, should not have had to die the way she did.
We don't actually see her die. We assume she dies, by way of the aliens that come to their farm.
Overall, it's worth seeing on Halloween. I would not recommend little kids watching it, however. Also, do not watch it alone, and do not watch it in the middle of the night, or in a cornfield!
My score: 7/10
