Not His Best But A Certainly A More Original Concept Than What We Can Expect From Hollywood

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2008)

M. Night creates a decent movie here. It certainly isn't his best but it isn't his worst either. It's an original tale and that's refreshing from Hollywood now-a-days. Which is probably why the critics are hating on him right now. I've noticed that most critics have touted the studio line and have endorsed the worst slock ever created and panned the truly original pieces.
Some of the violence seemed overtly gorish, probably just so M. Night could say it was his first R rated film. He probably could have created a just as a suspenseful movie without the R rating.
Still, the general concept is intriguing.
