This movie STINKS!

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2008)

This movie stinks. It's even worse than M. Night Shyamalan's "Lady In The Water." The high points of the movie are all at the beginning. People all over America kill themselves in really bizarre and shocking ways. Construction workers take the big plunge off their buildings. A woman jabs herself in the neck with a hairpin. If you like movie violence, this one has it.
If it were a two hour long snuff film or a satire of horror movies like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," it would be better. Unfortunately, they play this thing for a serious drama. We have inflicted upon us the mandatory bit of political correctness of a husband and wife on the brink of a divorce. In this case it's a school science teacher named Elliot and Alma. They take off with his buddy Julian who is a math teacher and his eight year old daughter, Jess. Of course they head off to Pennsylvania farm country, hoping to keep away from the attacks. Little do they know, they have walked right into the clutches of the killer, because this movie is about killer plants that have all decided to suddenly team up and wipe out mankind.
In another piece of political correctness, there isn't a mention of God. They recognize that this is end of the world time and yet nobody thinks of the man upstairs. You'd think SOMEBODY would.
If I were Shyamalan, I'd be looking for a new job. The Sixth Sense was good. Unfortunately his movies have steadily gone down hill from there.
