What's wrong with you? This is great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2008)

I sort of grew up with Shyamalan's movies, and this is one of his best. For this one, MNS takes all sorts of inspirations from movies like Hitchcock's The Birds and Romero's Night Of The Living Dead and gives it his own spin. The result is a tense, gripping tale about an invisible danger that might mean the end of humanity. The movie starts off great, keeps you entertained throughout and features some memorable scenes and characters. The scene with the construction workers dropping off the building at the very beginning grasped me by heart and balls and I remained curious and shocked through the whole experience. Mark Wahlberg and beautiful Zooey Deschnanel work as typical Shyamalan characters and do so wonderfully. Maybe there just isn't enough heart pounding melodrama in the script for all you haters out there, but I like this realistic, laid back approach to dialogue and acting. Just don't expect over-the-top blockbuster action or typical Hollywood logic here and you will be presented with one the finest and most subtle horror movies of the decade.
