Hmmm. . .what to think?

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2008)

Well, I think M night is a genius; I always have. However, this movie has me a little moved. I mean, I think the fact that wherever they went they were in danger gave the movie a good sense of fear, but there was way too much graphic violence. I'm not a fan of modern day "horror" movies that show people getting killed in the worst way. It doesn't interest me, but what I have always liked about M's movies is that they were original and some were a little frightening at points. In the end, his movies tended to make sense and I always liked how the little bits and pieces of clues throughout the movie came together in the end. . .This one was not like that. I did get a sense of fear, but I was more disgusted than anything. I did like how the movie wasn't just the same old pattern, but it just lacked that M night"ness." There were a few "clues" planted in the movie, but for the most part the answers were given away and in the end I just kind of felt let down. I mean, he didn't even give a cameo:( I don't, however, think that M should stop writing. I love his movies and I'm sure his next one will be better. We aren't all going to make a number one single you know? I'm sure Hitchcock made a couple of flops in his day. . .
