Oh dear!

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2015)

Sometimes whilst watching a movie there is a specific line or scene where it all falls apart. In this case it when camera tracks in on Walbergs face as he says "oh no" and the characters then outrun the wind. This way midway through the movie and up until this point i was actually enjoying it a little. There are so many problems with this movie, a complete lack of tension, dismal performances from Wahlberg and Deschanel. at no point did i ever care about any of the characters. Terribly unfunny attempts at humor and unintentionally hilarious scenes that are meant to be horrific or disturbing such as old woman smashing her head through window. And what was that house where everything was plastic? seemed like a plot device solely to have Wahlberg talk to a plastic tree. The positives of the movie are James Newton Howard's score and little else. Shymalan needs a strong producer to tell him not all his ideas are worth filming. A disappointment.
