Hilareous...

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2008)

When I saw the film in the theater. The first thing I wanted to know after watching it was: what would people write about this? Is this some kind of joke? I didn't watch any interviews of M. Night Shyamalan or read any reviews before. I only heard the plot of the movie from someone: It's about the plants and trees which produce a poisonous chemical so that the people kill themselves. In a nutshell.
First off, the acting. I couldn't even believe it. The worse acting I've ever seen. It was indeed as if it was intentionally but it was annoying. It was like a theater performance where you have to overreact. God...so horrible. It was probably the most horrifying part of the movie.
The story itself seemed pretty cool to me, but everything was just too much. The long close up shots. The horrible clichés in the movie..and so on.
And even if HE DID wanted to make a bad movie...it didn't work. People wanted a nice scary movie to watch and it would have been if it wasn't for the 'inside joke'. I loved the parts where the people all fell from the construction site building (although ...they looked like dolls - on purpose?) I don't want to HAVE TO see interviews before I watch a movie. I don't want to read about inside stuff before I watch it so that it will explain it. Same with art. I want to have my own interpretation on it/ So yeah, it was horrifying, but in a bad bad bad way (I only liked Sixth sense, unbreakable and a little signs)
