Not a bad movie at all

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2008)

First of all, anyone who thinks Zoey Deschanel can act her way out of a box should not make any comments on any movies. I want to strangle her in every movie she's in.
Secondly, I just saw this movie and I can't understand why all the bad reviews. My son and I loved it. We went in with no great expectations for horror or "monsters" because that's not what Shyamalan does. His movies are intelligent thrillers. The horror is in your own mind. I liked the movie, although the acting was bottom notch. The idea of plants fighting back was fresh. The gore was almost too much for me, personally, but bearable. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
