wait for DVD, a few good moments, but not worth a trip to the cinema

Rating: 4/10 (19 June 2008)

i cannot understand the people who have voted 7-10 points for this... a really terrible script, some truly wooden acting from Zooey Deschannel, and even Wahlberg struggles with the material. As for the story ? an interesting premise, but no real commitment. The characters that are meant to be introducing some form of explanation are portrayed as such loons that you don't take the seriously - so how are we meant to take any of it seriously? Save yourself the trouble; watch 'The Birds' instead, it's basically the same story - couple in peril (cause unknown), driving around, trying to get away from the danger, but with a sappy kid thrown in for good measure. I've always been a big fan of the way The Birds ends, but with the happening i was just glad it was over.------------it does have an excellent score however, very creepy.----and ther are a few good scenes, i suppose...
