Interesting in so many ways...

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2004)

I really liked that this movie used so many different types of story lines. It was horror, of course, with the aliens and all. It had a deep moral behind it, faith, which Mel Gibson fit right in for. It had some pretty darn good comedy, Joaquin Phoenix & the actor who played the military recruiter. The little kid actors did such a good job & they were so cute. The special effects done for the news reel of the alien walking across the street was awesome. The scene where Mel Gibson is running through the corn fields & you see a hand or a foot of an alien was perfect. And, as always, the art direction was amazing. I found this to be M. Night's best movie yet, & hopefully they'll keep getting better! I am a sucker for horror movies of any kind & I think he does them well!
