creepy and engrossing

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2008)

M. Night Shyamalan's is back with this disaster movie that is very creepy from the very first moment. It kicks off on a normal day, with people doing normal things until something terrible happens. Special effects are really strong, many scenes incredibly disturbing (the one in the zoo for instance), and the horror of the situation is captured and showed everywhere.Highly original, apart from the embarrassing family drama, shows a faceless and nameless threat driven by the wind, that is effective 100%. It's a thought-provoking work (as usual for this director), that shakes the audience and is well acted as well. A great movie with a concept not that original (nature rebelling) but told in an original way.
