Real Review

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2008)

It was a friend of mine who convinced me to go watch this film. Before i went to watch this movie, like any other movie i usually plan to watch i checked its ratings on IMDb and saw the 7.5 it was given and thought it cant be bad. the opening scenes of the movie get straight to the point and into the title of the movie. It didn't exactly have me in suspense but had me a little curious to actually what will happen next. As the movie developed i wasn't all that impressed. the kid in the movie couldn't act and he was trying too hard to act like he was scared and needed his father. when the bugs appear i was let down by the poor graphics and it didn't seem all that convincing either. i liked the way there became divisions within the group of people in the supermarket but the whole religious thing was taken over the top. in reality more people would favour the rational person than the religious fanatic. the religious lady did well in the beginning with her preaching the fulfilled prophecies but then when the whole 'sacrificing people' theme come along it started to become ridiculous for me to believe that would happen. up until the end of the movie it was watchable, nothing special but just watchable. HOWEVER the ending absolutely blows away the audience. it was the only real punch that this movie delivers. its been a long time since I've seen such a good and different ending to a movie, simply because u don't expect that to happen. I ususally don't watch horrors but i would advise people to watch this movie simply for the ending. the rest of the movie wont carry ur suspense and neither will it create a suspense, it will however have you curious but the ending will have u shocked. all questions are answers in this movie but i gave it a seven simply because the ending carried it from a 5/10 to a 7/10.
